New Year's Eve is coming and I'm pretty excited. We have that day off so we are just going to the Branch Pres. house again. It will be nice to get another little break and then start off the new year working hard!
This week was pretty good. We still aren't having tons of success, but it was a good week. We set up to give a church tour to Janet and we had a member come with us and everything, but sadly she didn't show up. It was really discouraging. Especially since we went to her house that same morning and confirmed the appointment with her. But we'll keep trying. I'm learning how to be patient :)
On Friday we were tracting in this neighborhood, when we saw 2 little puppies walk up out of no where. One was a little Golden Retriever, and the other a Labrador. They were very wet and seemed very cold and neither of them had any sort of tag on their collar, so we decided we'd just pick them up and carry them from door to door looking for the owner. We walked from door to door up and down that street for about an hour and couldn't find who they belonged to. We decided to stop and say a prayer. About 20 minutes later, a lady drove by and told us that those dogs belonged to her Hispanic neighbors on the next street. So we followed her to her house and we were so excited to give these dogs back to a Hispanic family and perhaps turn it into a teaching opportunity ;) sadly, she did not want to talk at all. She sort of just took the dogs and shut the door in our face. But I'm glad we could save those 2 adorable puppies!
It was great to have a missionary Christmas and I'm looking forward to the New Year and all the experiences that it will bring! I love you so much! It was great talking to you on Christmas and I'm looking forward to doing it again in 5 months!
Love,
Elder Thayne
