#SharetheGift

Hello Everyone!

This past week was fantastic!  On Tuesday we had a lesson almost every hour, and then on Wednesday I went to my first MLC (Missionary Leadership Council).  It was fantastic, we talked about Mission Business and Statistics, how to help people change, and the Restoration.  At the end of the day, President Chambers bore his testimony and said: "You mean too much to me for me to let you live below your blessings".  I felt the spirit so strongly, and I know it is because his words were true!  Heavenly Father wants us all to be happy and receive all the blessings he has in store for us.  On Thursday we had a ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) for our zone and our goal for this month is 15 Baptisms!  We bumped it up from 12 since last month we hit our goal of 11.  I know we can achieve it!  Our whole zone fasted yesterday for all of our investigators, and our two investigators, Peter and Victoria, didn't come to church.....so now they can't be baptized in December.  But its okay because everything happens for a reason, and we can focus on helping them with whatever they're facing.  They are both struggling a little, so remember them in your prayers!  We are taking Peter to Temple Square tonight, so we are super excited!  We are hoping that he will really feel the spirit and want to progress more in the gospel.  

I loved the Christmas Devotional last night - if you haven't seen it yet, you need to watch it!  I loved all of the talks, and I know that Christmas is all about love and God's gift to us, His Son, Jesus Christ.  We have been showing everybody this video:  http://www.mormon.org/christmas

I want everyone to see it, because it is truly amazing.  It brings the spirit to my heart and helps me feel the love that God has for me and all of His children.  When you see it, share it with someone else!  It will have an impact on them, I promise.  

I am very excited for this coming week, we have two exchanges and two trips to Temple Square!  

I hope you all have a wonderful week and know that Heavenly Father is watching over you with love. 

Love,

Sister Wight         



The back story of this picture:  We were trying to contact a family who are not members of the church, and when they weren't home we visited their neighbors.  We asked about this family and they said that their relationship was a little strained because the non-member family had found a wrench in their front yard, thought somebody was trying to kill them, and assumed it must've been these neighbors that we were talking to.  Later that week, we were walking down the street and we saw this.
