Week 2 with my boy

Well this week was a great week! We did a lot of work leading up to our ward Christmas activities and stuff like that. Our ward puts on this event that they call the Creche event. So when I heard it the first time I was super confused, but basically there are a bunch of little nativities set up around the gym, and then they also have choirs and stuff sing! It goes for two hours tomorrow and Wednesday night. I am really excited! There has been a big push for people in the ward to invite nonmembers to it, and so we are excited to see who is there and hopefully get a couple new people to teach! We have also been inviting like everyone we tract into, meet on the street or anyone to it, so hopefully we will find some cool people that want to talk with us this week!

Then there was something else really cool that happened this week. We were trying to contact some less active members one day, and we knocked on this door and a guy named Chris answered. We told him we were looking for someone, and he was like "she's right here want to talk to her?" And for some reason we were just like, no we can talk to you. So we set a return appointment with him and he is an investigator now! So God works in ways that you would never think of. It is really cool to see how he helps us everyday. I promise that if you look for it, you will see something he does for you every single day!

We also had zone conference this week! That was really good, our zone has 2 more companionships then it used to. So it felt like the whole mission was there, but really just the Green Bay Zone. It was good to see all of the other missionaries, get to know them a little better, and learn from each other. President Williams was also there, and it is always good to hear from him. He knows how to make you feel loved and motivate you. I have loved getting to train Elder Record. It has been a blast so far! Thanks for all the support from everyone! Love you all!

Spiritual Thought:
In the Christmas Devotional the theme for me was all about Love, and how we need to start to love like the Savior and Heavenly Father love us. They have an infinite amount of love that we can't even comprehend. I love the phrase that Pres. Uchtdorf used, "You won't be forgotten". God's love is huge, he will not forget about you no matter what. Christ is the same way, no matter what you have done, he is always there waiting for you to come back. I love how important that is to all of the world that knows about Christ. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to share that with others, and at Christmas we notice that love more, and people are much more charitable in general. The love that Christ has is not describable. But it is always there for us!

Love,
Elder Reynolds
