It's almost Christmas!

This week was so great! I am just going to write a short email and send a lot of pictures!

I know that every area in our mission can baptize every transfer. This is the Standard that President Clayton has received from the Lord and because of that I know that it can happen. Sister J and I whitewashed into this new area with no one to work with so we immediate had to start to exercise our faith and invite everyone to come unto Christ. We got lost pretty much every day because neither of us have served in the city and we are still getting used to the buses but we are so grateful for every time we get lost because we get to talk with so many more people. :) One of those people we talked to on the bus is D. D immediately accepted to learn more about our message! We had an appointment with him at 4:00 p.m. at a Tim Hortons but we ended up getting lost and D waited for two hours and actually helped us find our way to where he was. When we met with him we shared the Christmas video #aSaviorisBorn, and he loved it. We invited him to be baptized on the last day of the transfer which is Daddy's birthday, and he said yes. Yesterday he came to church and we taught him the Restoration. :) He had a couple questions for us and we were able to lead him to the scriptures where he found his answers. He also found out why baptism is important and last night he sent us a text saying. "I understand baptism now. And I am so excited to be baptized." 

I am so excited for D and the other people that we are working with as well. 

This transfer I am able to do a few new things. Some of those are teaching ESL and going on exchanges. I have this funny thing that  the Sisters I exchange with do with me. What we do is we read 3 Nephi 5:13 very loudly off of the balcony or a really high building adding some words... this is what it would read for me. "Behold I Sister C, am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the son of God, I have been called to declare his word among the people in Ontario..."and so on. Haha it is a hoot and a half and I wish I could send the videos home. :) 

I love you all. I pray for you all. :)
