Ok so my new companion is Sister Mackay who is super
chill, relaxed, and quiet and we get along great if your are wondering. We have
been trying to contact a lot of less actives all week and so far we've gotten
two return appointments out of all the less actives we've been visiting. Score
one for sister Ginn and Sister Mackay. I'm the driver and for like the first
four days I got lost every place I went to.
Sister Mackay would make fun of me which is great because
I made fun of myself too. It's so much easier to laugh than to get angry about
getting lost in the middle of nowhere, let me tell you.
Thursday was a good thanksgiving. We did a huge service
project building a fence for an old lady with all the Anderson zone, and
afterwards we went to a huge missionary thanksgiving party for all of us. We
ended the day by going to a members house called the Mackintoshes. They are
great and have six kids and both parents served missions. I was homesick, not
gonna lie, but I felt better being around other people. Sister Mackay doesn't
nitpick which makes this so much easier, oh wow. I love her.
Friday was an interesting day. We weekly plan on Friday,
so while we were planning a person called us and asked us to come over right
away.
Her name was Wynette. So we drove over to her house
immediately. She told us she wants to change her life around and come back to
church.
We are going to be meeting with her every Saturday to
read the Book of Mormon with her. I've never had that happen before. I've never
had a less active tell me they want to come back to church. It was a nice
experience, and I'm glad I can be a part of her coming back to church.
She came on Sunday and plans on coming back for the next
few Sundays.
It's the small stuff like that that makes it worth being
a missionary.
I'm excited to be out here for Christmas, we have that
new Christmas video that we will be showing everyone and their grandma this
entire month. Hopefully we can pick up some new investigators. I am so pumped
for Christmas you don't even know dudes and dudets. We decorated our apartment
the best we could using cheap decorations from the dollar tree. I bought
Christmas lights and put them over my study desk. They make me happy.
I love you all very much ok? You are all my favorite
people in the whole world.
It's actually getting really cold here, like the lowest
it gets is 27 degrees. It's COLD. But it's pretty. All the Christmas lights are
up now and I like it.
I am trying to memorize the living Christ and to be
honest I suck at it but I'm working on it. I appreciate everything Jesus Christ
has done for me. I love my savior.
That's all for this week. I love you all. I will talk to
you all soon!!!
Love,
Sister Caroline Elizabeth Ginn
