Sister Mitzi Gates // Week Nine

Wahoo for the baptism that was on Saturday!! It went great! The spirit was so strong, and it was great to be apart of it. I am so lucky. After we went to lunch with Morgan and his wife Randi, and then his friend that baptized him and his wife. You could totally tell a difference in him. So we asked him how he felt, and he said that he has never been so happy or felt so good! That made my day!! That for sure makes all the hard times on my mission worth it. But also on Saturday night we were at a members home, the Harris' and it was raining, then next thing we know the alarms were going off! Haha it was a tornado warning! it was so loud and kinda scary! It was storming and so we had to hurry and get back to our apartment to take shelter. It didn't do any damage, but it was still scary! The members out here spoil us. They all get us Christmas gifts and invite us to their Christmas parties! I'll send pictures later with everyone who has given us stuff! I love this ward! I never want to leave!! haha I am already scared to leave, but next transfers aren't until January 28th so i still have a while! But i love it here! We are making slow progress on some other investigators. But It's fun!! 

We also taught Gospel Doctrine class yesterday in church, so that was fun!! haha 

I hope you all have a great Christmas and enjoy the Holiday season! I miss you all but I wouldn't want to be any where else!! Love you all:)
