We have had quite a bit of things happen. We went on exchanges with Monroe on Tuesday and I get to meet a family that has some pigs! Thursday was a blitz with the Zone Leaders so that they could do a baptizimal interview for us. It was also my first time having to do some planning for the area without help. It was really good! We have great Zone Leaders who do a good job of inspiring us to work harder.
Then, this Saturday, we had Samantha's baptism! Samantha is awesome and, even though I was only there to teach the last few principals, she was ready for baptism. It was really cool though because her whole family came to the baptism and none of them are members of the church. It was a really good baptizimal service.
That following Sunday was a very busy day. We went to two wards sacrament meetings, stayed at one for the rest of the classes, and then had a special Christmas dinner with the Dorm branch. After that, we went over to the Dorm (the Dorm is a building for high school age kids to have the opportunity to go to high school here in Richfield) and helped in their Christmas program. Elder Lane played the piano for one of their songs and I sang Jolly Old St. Nicholas. It was not a great performance hahaha but it was good enough.
The work here is exploding! Elder Lane and I have been finding some great potential as well as started teaching quite a few people whom I genuinely think will be baptized. Untop of the already good sized teaching pool we had, we are now teaching so enough people to keep most of our days full. This, combined with exchanges, district meetings, and blitzes of the other areas means that we have absolutely no time which I absolutely love!
We have already been invited to some really awesome houses for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so I am very excited for this coming week. Work has been great with everyone so open to hearing a Christmas message, but we honestly have done much door knocking because we have been so busy.
Life is good here in Richfield! It is getting cold and I am not quite prepared for that Haha, but it will be good.
Have a great week!!
Elder Francis
