What a great week! I love this Christmas spirit that is in Hendersonville!! It is an amazing time of year. So this week Dan Erickson, he is still an investigator and is progressing slowly! But we had a lesson in a members home and the spirit was so strong. We talked about the word of wisdom and also about priesthood authority, we asked if he ever wants a blessing to help him stop smoking Brother Jensen could do that by priesthood authority. Then I started to cry, when I told him about how dad gave me a blessing before my bleeding ulcer and how everything was fine and I wouldn't be here on my mission without it. I was embarrassed, haha but the spirit was amazing!
This week had been great! We have a lady in our ward is shy and not very out going. But she has really taken the missionary step to a new level. She invited us over to help her go over to her neighbors to set an appointment up. She did all the talking, she said she was so scared! But after she said that it wasn't so hard, and we were so proud of her! We hope she shares it with all the members of the ward so that they see that it isn't scary or hard.
Then last night we went to this less active ladies home. Her daughter just had a baby, she's 19, and put it up for adoption and it got adopted by this cute lds family. the son just got home from a mission and they invited us over for christmas day dinner. We offered to help with her christmas decorations, so hopefully this week we go over again! But we almost didn't go over, but it all worked out and she is going to come to church, she knows she needs to, but we gave her that little extra motivation to get going! we're so excited about this work! the ward is helping alot. Referrals are the key.Sister Cotton teaches me so many things daily. I am so grateful for her. I love this work!! This week is going to be busy with all the fun Christmas activities going on! But we have transfer call this Saturday, Transfers next week. So I'm hoping I stay! I don't want to leave Hendersonville, or Sister Cotton!
Also we found out that Gary Allen lives close, Kaleb, find me the house address because we're going to knock his door!! Haha but really. The members know where he lives so we'll figure it out!
I hope you all have a great week!! I love you all so much:)

The Zone Leaders traded us cars, we had a new car, but they needed the miles so now we have a cute 2012 Malibu chevy! We miss our Jetta WV!!
