Christmas

Hey everybody! Sorry we weren't able to e-mail to you yesterday, everything in the Gila Valley was pretty much shut down :(

This last week has been pretty crazy. We're teaching some great people right now and the Green sisters ended up getting baptized this last Wednesday. It was a great service and there were almost 100 people there!

Right now though we have 3 people progressing with dates. Chris Rudd, Lilly Youngblood, and Julie Garret.

Chris is living with some member friends of his and when they agreed to let him move in they told him that one condition is that he would go to church with them every week. The Quinns had kind of a wild past and so they help a lot of their friends to get their feet back under them. Chris is a great guy and is loving the gospel. He'll be baptized on the 30th of January!

Julie Garret is 17 and has been coming to church everyweek with her boyfriend since about August. Her parents aren't interested but she's been getting a lot of resistance from her sister, but she's finally set a date for the 16th of January! She's a great girl and is excited to be baptized

Lilly Youngblood recently moved into our area and she told us that if she were ever to join a church it would probably the mormons. She's a great lady and we're hoping that she'll continue to progress in the gospel and gain a firm witness of the truth.

Thats kind of whats going on.

The temple brings a great spirit to the valley and miracles are going to continue!

Love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
