Sarah's November 21st email

Hey all!

Christmas is in the air. Last night we pulled out the Christmas tree. It was a fiber optic tree we inherited from the Elders before us. It's very colorful. Sister Green and I sing Christmas songs together all the time. She seriously has a amazing voice on her. Thanksgiving should be fun. We have three dinner appointments!!! I'll have to stretch my tummy out to fit it all in. People are taking good care of me.

The day after Christmas my whole zone is going up to the temple to do a session and have a little Christmas party. It should be a lot of fun.

This week we had a awesome lesson with this woman named Dorothy Andersen. Her adult son sat in saying he merely wanted to 'observe' but around the end of the lesson, I asked him what he believed and he surprised me with saying he basically believed what we believe, and that he wanted to 'observe' our next lesson.

BWAHAHAHA!!! The spirit has got him!!

The ward I'm in right now is having a hard time with missionary work. Sister Green has been here since May and says it's always been this way. She and I are both going home at the same time, so I feel like it's up to us to get things moving in the area before our time is up. She isn't too optimistic about it, but we are going to do our darnedest. The people here are great, and I think that they really do want to see the ward grow, but we just have to get them in the spirit of things. It should be an adventure!

I'm super glad to hear that things are going well with the radiation! Hooray for answered prayers! I will continue to pray for you, Katie, and you too Dad. I hope the surgery goes well.

Well, I love you all! Hope this next week is good!
