Oi Tudo Bem Familia!
Well it has been another week and we had our first actual snow storm of the season. We took a look at the weather this morning and it looks like winter has finally arrived and this shall be our last week above freezing. It was super fun last night. It started snowing pretty lightly at first and just kept picking up and up until Elder Nelson asked me if it was snowing yet. I told him that finally it had begun to snow. It wasn't a big storm but there was snow on the ground this morning and it might not all melt by the next storm on Wednesday. It is certainly going to be a white Christmas though. Forecast says that it is going to start snowing on like the tenth and then it shows no sign of stopping.
Well this has been a great week. We have been super excited about the new light the world campaign. It so far has been great and we have been excited in getting the members here involved with lots of different activities as well as service. We had our integration night last weekend and for the first time we had some non members show up. It was overall a great success the members had a great time and the one nonmember was able to bond with all the members as well. It was great and it only happened because the members were so helpful. We have an appointment set up with them for after the holidays but they are super solid and the members are still reaching out and keeping contact with them through Facebook. Other than that this week was a lot of service projects and helping the members as well as some pretty great lessons. We were able to teach more investigator lessons this week than ever before and I at least am really excited about that. We hope to be able to keep increasing those numbers in the future.
Another cool thing that happened this Sunday was that we found a member in our ward that was baptized by our mission presidents son back in 1990. He was super excited about it and had his pictures with him from his baptism and was showing them to us. Sunday was also pretty cool because we got to watch the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. I have to Say it was pretty cool. I don't remember ever watching one before and I was really missing out. It gets you really into the Christmas spirit and the music is amazing. I invite you all to go check it out if you missed it. https://www.lds.org/broadcasts/archive/christmas-devotional/2016/12?lang=eng&cid=HP_SU_4-12-2016_dCN_fEVT_xLIDyL1-B_
