Wild that Christmas is here, no? It's wild, wild stuff to me. I tell you what. It's so different on the mission, but so good.
I don't have tons of time, but it's okay...for reasons that will be revealed to y'all sometime this week.
So,
we've been trying to get new investigators, after our baptisms. They
took up a lot of our time, and still kind of do, since now missionaries
teach the new member lessons. It's crazy. My goal now is to ask for
referrals from everyone. Literally everyone. We're supposed to be doing
that already, but I haven't been too good at it. Another thing we've
been focusing on is OYM'ing everyone. We did with a guy the other day
and he said he wanted us to stop and talk to him and had been wanting to
change his life. He proceeded to tell us basically his whole life
story...Okie talker. He's a great guy though. "There can be miracles, if
you believe."
I'm so glad to have this special time of year to
reflect on the Savior's birth, life, death, suffering, His names (thanks
to y'all), and his resurrection. One thing I loved in the Christmas
Program in Sacrament Meeting this week was that they talked about the
Millennium being like an ongoing Christmas season for 1000 years.
Doesn't that sound amazing? It's that song come true..."If every day
could be Christmas". Every day will be, and for 1000 years! What a
blessing, eh?
We, the Seminole Missionaries, sang in the Branch
Choir for the Christmas Program yesterday. It was...interesting.
Actually, the actual meeting went well. There were definitely angels
singing with us. I prayed so hard that we would be able to bring the
spirit into the meeting. I also have missed singing in choirs...odd, I
know. It was fun to do that again.
The basses from Mads have an email chain, and we've
been talking about that recently. We had some fun times, wild times. I
miss singing with The BIG4 a lot too. I've been so blessed to be a part
of such great things.
So, I'm getting rather excited to talk to y'all. I
don't get homesick thinking about y'all...it's like the opposite. I get
super duper motivated! It rocks. It's because I've been blessed with
such great friends and family! There's no reason to be sad about stuff.
Just be happy, why not?
I love y'all so muchly tons. For realsies. Thank you. For it all.
Love,
Elder Tanner
