Hey everyone! This week went by soooo fast!! We didn't have a whole lot to do the first half of the week because of Christmas and Christmas Eve. For the most part we just played sports at the church, and on Christmas morning we had breakfast with some members.
The other half of the week was pretty good though. We had a church tour last night with Sheila and her husband Armando and they're super solid. We just recently found them and they're interested, but right now the biggest road block is getting them to church. Their work schedules aren't very flexible, so we'll be praying for some miracles there.
Also I love being back in Lacey. Not only is it my very first area, but there's actually Hispanics here unlike in Port Angeles. So I've finally had a chance to use my Spanish a little bit more even though it's pretty rusty from months of not speaking it with anyone. While I've been here I've come across some stumbling blocks that I've needed to help myself with. They've made me humbler and taught me some things that I needed to hear. I know it was definitely inspired for me to come back to Lacey at this point in my mission.
In this area in Lacey we also get to work with a Samoan group that we're trying to turn into a branch. It's been super fun to learn a little bit about their culture and get fed a ton. We also play sports with them on Saturday nights to help fellowship them. We could use the prayers here too for helping us to find more people that have been prepared and are ready for what we have to share.
That's mostly all for this week though. I love you all and hope you have a Happy New Year!
