This week has been awesome. With Christmas coming up Elder Gardiner and I are going wild talking with everybody and spreading the message of Christ. The Church came out with this new video and they are telling all of the missionaries to use it. It's called "He is the Gift." I don't know if you know this but they basically translate nothing into Hmong in the church so when we show the old hmong people the video they look at us like, what in the world was that. But it is still a sweet video and really powerful.
Elder Gardiner and I got stuck out in the cold one day for like three and a half hours because all of our appointments fall through. (In Minnesota you have to have appointments like everynight during winter because it is pretty hard to get in houses if you don't.) But we decided that we would try and be creative in teaching people. We were driving home after not teaching anyone that night and took a wrong turn and ended up at a dead end. I got out of the car to do the famous missionary humility check and saw a man putting up his christmas lights across the street. We walked over and started helping him out and he agreed to watch the video with us. It was so powerful. It really felt that God wanted our plan to fall through just so we could meet this man. He is in his 60's and was a veteran in the army and is super cool. Way excited to keep teaching him. It was neat to gain a witness that God really does lead us in ways that we don't expect.
Things are going well and I'm just getting pumped up for Christmas. Pretty sure Elder Gardiner hasn't quite experience this must enthusiasm for a holiday before but he is keeping with it real well so I'm pretty stoked. But, have a great week and Merry Christmas!
