Hey everyone!
This week has been good!! It honestly doesn't feel like Christmas though. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm a missionary or because there's no snow or what, but it's weird to see all this Christmas stuff around. I'm pretty sure it's the no snow thing though. It's amazing how quickly you get accustomed to that.
Anyways I'm doing well! I'm officially a missionary now (or so says Elder Collard) because I had my first bike wreck. That was fun haha! It wasn't that bad though, I walked away with only a few bruises. That was probably the biggest thing that happened. I did get to sing in church though, so that was awesome! You know me, always happy to do that :) Haha but it was great. We had an awesome program in sacrament meeting and it was a real privilege to be a part of it.
There wasn't to much that happened of that. We got some new Elders in the area because of transfers! One of them (Elder Gardner) was serving in the Santa Maria 3rd ward and said that he knew Grandma and Grandpa so that's cool! The other just came out. He's from Bakersfield and he's on a trial mission. He's really cool though, and he's excited to be out. Kayla's also doing well! She's progressed a lot this week and both of us are really impressed with her. She's so ready to be baptized. In every lesson we have with her she makes some huge steps and its just awesome.
So for my spiritual thought this week, I actually wanted to share a miracle that happened on Saturday. During companionship study, Elder Collard and I were planning Kayla's lesson for that day and we both felt very impressed to offer her a blessing. We texted our leaders for authorization, and within an hour we were good to go (which is actually a miracle by itself). That night we had a really great lesson with her, and at the end we offered to give her a blessing. She sat there completely shocked, and then explained to us that she had been praying that morning for strength because she's been facing some strong temptations and she really wanted to ask for one. Anyway, we gave it to her, and by the end she was in tears because the Spirit was so strong.
I hope that you all have great week and a very Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the prayers!
Much love,
Elder Rosenlof
