Transfer 10 Week 3

So excited for Christmas! I'm going to the post office after this to mail off everyones little Christmas goodies. They aren't a lot, but I hope you enjoy the little souvenirs I was able to pick up the past few months.
We had a Christmas party with the surrounding zones in Tuba City this week. We drove up in complete fog and had a blast playing games with the elders and sisters. We played one that involved some vigorous rock-paper-scissors action, and the next day half of my left hand was PURPLE! Dark deep purple, bruised by my competitive spirit.
The best DA we had this week was a strange answer to my cravings: frozen lasagna and cap'n'crunch cereal! The RS president in Woodruff had us over last minute and fed us what she had. She had made some homemade fudge too- this is the same woman who made homemade noodles. Anyway, she had some Cap N Crunch on the table and I kept sneaking handfuls and she let me eat them with my lasagna and it was so delicious.
Corvette was baptized this past Saturday! The baptism was great. Her grandma was asked to speak on the Holy Ghost. Can I tell you how nervous I was for that? Grandma is a Scientific Christian preacher. I didn't think it would be awful, but I also didn't know what kind of doctrine would come out. But all went well, she gave a really great talk and it made me realize how some truths are generally universal. I can't lie, she spoke by the spirit. It was there strongly as she testified of the mission and power of the Holy Spirit. She had to get baptized three times because the man baptizing her was so nervous! It was the same member who got us out of the mud. We will be buying brownies to bring to him this next week. I thanked him again on my family's behalf after the baptism was over. But little Cory was so happy. She bought a new little white dress to wear after her baptism. She was so nervous she had us walk her to the font when it was time. I played the interlude while she changed into her new dress. Her mother, who isn't a member, came and sat quietly in the back. She's a very strong catholic. But I noticed her eyes were wet by the end of the baptism and she quietly thanked us before she left.
This evening we will be on exchanges with the sisters from Gallup! And this weekend I'll be with Sister Garcia and Sister Clark. And within the next couple of weeks we will be traveling to Page. I love you all so much!
I miss you lots
