MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎁🎄 (in 6 days) 12/19/2016

Hello loved ones!!! =D

Merry (almost) Christmas! We are very happy here in Jacksonville. To celebrate the upcoming holiday we have district pday.... 

Yup, we played white elephant. :) so fun!!!! Everyone was pleased with the gift given. Sister Thomas and I knocked it out of the ball park with our gifts... can you guess the ones we brought? While you are guessing I'll introduce the new district:

Sisters (L-R): Gilbert, Thomas, me, Bedwell. Elders (L-R): Richins, Erickson, Folsom, Loder, Whittle, Andrus. Have you decided?!? Answer time: we gave the Star Wars mugs and the play dough (Elder Loder and Sister Bedwell) 

It was really fun over all though. I was pleased. Also through back to last week!! When we went caroling last week at Celestial Farms, well now we have pictures: 

Fun times <3 love my Dunn Ave missionaries. 

Also I bought a new dress this week, this gives you an idea of how great it looks. ;)

Ohh and just so y'all know I just broke an elders heart by accidentally telling him that in Star Wars Hans dies... oops. Haha. 

Also double merry Christmas!! This was us at the Christmas party, we got a picture with Santa 🎅🏼  (p.s. Santa was played by our ward mission leader... so technically this is a ward missionary picture ;) lol!) The ward Christmas party was crazy fun!!! I love our ward. <3 it's the best ever! #FUNAve!!

Anyways.. otherwise this week. 

We talked with Sister Cengiz and she suggested to have better success with LA's we should make fudge or cookies. So we did and saw a miracle!!! There is a LA sister with an unbaptized youth who we have tried many times. Without ever meeting her, this week we went by with fudge and MIRACLE we met her!! We left her with fudge and got herb phone number to set an appointment for later in the week. 

Also we got back in contact with a potential investigator, she has been really busy but we were able to teach her Saturday and we invited her to baptism. It was amazing!! And such a good lesson, Sister Thomas is an awesome teacher. 

We also went Christmas caroling last night with Josh, it was so awesome!! We met so many nice people and we were able to spread the light of Christ. (: It was delightful and we were able to see another potential investigator but they didn't really have time to talk, but we left them with a card and a prayer. It was so great!! Josh is amazing!!! He was talking to everyone and handed out a few cards to the people we sang too. It was awesome! 

Otherwise, I hope y'all have a blessed Christmas. I love you, you're always in my prayers. Xoxo remember the true reason for the season. And spread the light of Christ this week. 

All my love, Sister Bryans
