Winchester 12/5/16

Greetings!

This week was fantastic! I absolutely love Winchester already. I've missed Kentucky accents and horse farms. Plus everyone here has an obsession with Ale-8 a type of soda that originated here. The ward is pretty big, and extremely helpful! The town is probably one of the bigger places in the mission other than Lexington and Louisville.
Sister Israelsen is fabulous. She does amazing Miranda impersonations, owns a pair of Olaf footie pajamas, and makes me laugh a lot! She's on her last two transfers so we'll almost definitely be together for the next three months. I'm so excited!
In Hanover, one of the sisters organized the area into a really cool number system and it made life so much easier! So I've been working on making a number system here. We've also been working with members a ton and doing a lot of service this week for the Light the World initiative. We don't really have any investigators right now ha, but that's going to change!
This next week we're having a meeting with all the leadership in the mission called MLC. We're driving to Louisville tonight because Sister Brough needs the STLs help decorating the mission home. Then we'll stay the night there! There is SO much to do all the time, so I'm happy staying super busy:).

I really liked the Christmas devotional last night, especially the talk about the accepting God's gift of the Holy Ghost. I've been studying the BOM and looking for when it talk about covenants. Basically, Christ has this promise of eternal life that He is willing and able to give us. It's just a question of whether we're willing to give up ourselves and let Him change us.
Have a great week!
