THE BOYS WERE BAPTIZED!!! EEK!! Sorry this e mail is a day late but Monday was a holiday so the libraries were closed. I hope ya'll weren't worried. But I did get some pictures in the mail of the baptism and some other things. So Damarrius, Deiontae, and Darian were baptized this past Sunday and it was so good! They were so excited!! Nervous, but excited and they did so good. They are the sweetest and so smart and I am just so proud of them.
They are just fully embracing the gospel and the ward LOVES them to pieces. They are so helpful in all of their various needs and it is such a neat thing to see how much they reach out to help. It is also neat to see the boys grow. Brother White (their great uncle who they live with) said that they get so excited when we come over and to read scriptures and pray. At night, he said they just want to keep reading! I didn't know it was possible to be so happy. Its such a blessing to have taught them! They are doing great and the youngest, Donnovan will be baptized in February when he turns eight. He was sad he couldn't get baptized but is excited for February!
I know that Heavenly Father is so aware of us and He definitely provides a way to accomplish all things. If their is one thing I am learning out here, it is that.
In our ward here they are doing a " Christmas in Nauvoo" the food will be in the gym and then the whole building will be decorated with different rooms like a black smith shop, a theater room ( for the kids ) , a candy shop and just different things like that and people can dress up. I think it will be pretty cool. I dont know if I will be here though!
Transfers are in two weeks! Who knows what will happen. I love that the youth are coming over for the lights! I do wish I could be there. I miss my sunday school kids and think of them all the time. Esspecially sundays at church. I love love love your perspective of Romney running and how much it has got people asking questions. Its so true. As missionaries, we love questions!! haha. I had my first Multi Zone conference and it was awesome. We found out that every mission has a compliment which is how many missionaries that can be in our mission the compliment went from 200 to 250.
We are at 180 so we will be getting 60-70 new missionaries over the next comming months!! Its so exciting!! If finally started getting cool here and I can wear my scarfs so I am loving the weather. I am so excited for the holidays!! I love this time of years.
Sorry its short today. I know I have other things to tell you but we are pressed for time because its not p day. OH! I remembered. Im going on splits tonight for the first time. It will be exciting! I hope... haha. We are splitting off with the senior sisters so I think it will be fun. Also as part of my training, I have to lead ALL the lessons this week. ALL of them. It will be good. I love this work, even when its hard. I have grown to love the gospel more than I ever thought I could and Im so grateful to be a part of it. I love you both so much! Be safe. LOVE YOU BIG BIG. Talk to you soon my beautiful little family :) miss you!
Love,
Sister Gilmer
