Hey everyone!!!
This week we had transfers!!! Sister Griffin and I are
staying together! YAY!! :) We had a 5 week transfer instead of 6 because
Christmas is next week!! So the next transfer will be 7 weeks to make up for
it!! Sister Griffin is so amazing! She always has the best insights! She is the
funniest person ever! Haha, so we both have the same retainer case (like they
are EXACTLY the same….) and so one night we were both brushing our teeth…. and
somehow the cases got mixed up and she put in my retainers and I put in her
retainers!!! It was the funniest, grossest thing ever! We had a good laugh! I
guess you can say we have gotten pretty close!! :) ;)
This week was filled with lots of great lessons, different
culture experiences, and ya lots of rejections;). We had a great lesson with
Victor! We taught him the Word of Wisdom and so far he has gone a week without
smoking or drinking! He is doing so great! HE set his OWN tentative baptismal
date for January 10th!!!!! We will see how it goes! He wants to finish the Book
of Mormon before and is almost done!!! There is so much cultural diversity in
DC! It is so awesome talking to so many different people!! Along with many open
and kind people, we got a lot of hard, mean people this week. But
that's okay, it made us stronger. Everyone has their agency to either accept or
reject our message!! It's funny when people see us walking down the street…
they suddenly have a phone call, look completely in another direction, or
suddenly have to go another way to avoid us, haha it is SO funny! People are
great!
I heard this awesome quote about the Book of Mormon this
week by Elder Holland, "No wicked man would write such a thing (The Book
of Mormon) and no good man would unless commanded to by God." This is SO
true! The Book of Mormon is such an incredible book!!!!! It truly is another
testament of Jesus Christ! It is the word of God. We have given away SO many copies of the Book of Mormon at the Visitors' Center during Festival of Lights! It is so
awesome! The Book of Mormon is truly for everyone!!!! Study and pray about it
and I promise you will see blessings in your life! :) I hope you all have an
amazing Christmas!!! You are all so great! Thanks for being such a huge
example to me! :)

Sister Griffin trained both Sister McArthur and I, so we are her "daughters" and she is our "mom"!

We didn't realize that Elder Oliver photobombed us until we got home... hahaha!!!!
