HELLO!
The boys were confirmed on Sunday with beautiful confirmation blessing given by Brother Long who baptized them. The ward tried to get other men from the ward involved but all of the boys wanted him. It was really sweet. He is the one who got them clothes, picked them up for EVERYTHING, and just really did a lot. He means a lot to them and they mean a lot to him as well. It is really cute. Damarrius also got the priesthood on sunday!! It was awesome!
My companion found a baby christmas tree in our dark pit of a closet to day and we are excited to decorate it. haha. Its really small. It makes me think of you how we have christmas trees and decorations all over the house. I love being home around Christmas.
So this week we met with victor who just got baptized and had a really good lesson. His mom sat in and we all just had a really good talk. I have said it before but we are hoping she will take the lessons soon. We are getting baby steps closer. She is such an amazing lady! We also had a lesson with his brother this week and victor bore is testimony and it was just amazing! Seriously, this kid is amazing! I cant wait to hear his mission stories! So there were some funnies that happened this week...
We met a guy- keep in mind its pretty late and dark outside. So my companion starts talking to him and so we stop. Im thinking oh goodness because not only is it late and dark but he is big and I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure he was on something. Dont worry dad, we were in a little shopping center so there were people around. Any ways he turned out to be pretty cool, he had some great questions, and we will hopefully see him this week! Oh yeah, his name is Julius Ceaser.
There is a dinky little keyboard in our appartment which I thought was broken all his time ... but its not! I turned it on and have been managing to plunk out the christmas hyms. haha. Im not sure my companion appreciates it but I think it is pretty exciting. And who knows, maybe I will come home a pianist! Probably not, but a girl can dream.
We went to an appointment this week... well we tried to go to an appointment but unfortunately pulled up behind a drug deal! In the middle of the day. Really? So we left. It was stinky. There is a man in the ward who is a vetran and get all kinds of puzzles, kits to build stuff, crossword puzzles, and food. He likes to share for "all of our free time" and "When we get bored." Haha. Its really sweet but really funny the stuff he gives us sometimes.
Im still amazed at the things people tell missionaries and how interesting people are. Remeber when we lived in Vernal and they had the dinasaur museaum. Well we drove by a house this week who had an exhibit in their front yard as lawn decoration. It was pretty special. I will hopefully be sending a picture soon. Yes, I had my companion turn around so I could take a picture. It was great. Well Happy Thanksgiving my beautiful little family! I love you so much and hope you are doing well!! Transfers are at the end of the week. Good bye training! Im not super sad about it,.Hope yall are having a great week! LOVE YA'LL :)
Love,
Sister Gilmer
