This week we had district meeting and it was a lot of fun. our district leader likes doing themes so it was sweater wheather district meeting. so we all wore sweaters which was a lot of fun.
After district meeting a member called and asked if we could do service for them. it was a sweet old couple in our ward, and they asked us the le mars sisters the Sioux city 1st elders. and the Spanish branch elders. and they had us decorate their Christmas tree and put their chirstmas decorations up and they feed us all dinner which was really nice.
The le mars sisters stayed the night at our apartment because they didn't have time to leave and make it back to le mars in time. so they stayed with us. and in the morning sister muasau woke up sick and one of the le mars sisters sister nelson woke up sick. and sister muasau and I had a lot of apt. and so we got permission to go on an exchange. and have those to stay in and rest and me and sister batton go out and cover our apt. so we did that.
while sister batton and I were out we set ashlee for baptism on dec 26 so she can be baptized with her brother and sister. Ashlee is the one who is hearing impaired so its a little harder teaching her but we are doing it and her mom is helping sign to her. and cory and renae are progressing really well to there baptismal date on dec 26th they are really excited I think they will make it. cory bore his testimony in sacretmentmeeting about how excited he is for his baptism. and they are reading there book of Mormon everyday the kids even bring it to school and read it there its sooo great!
the next day le mars sisters went home. sister muasau and I worked for a couple hours then went in because she was still really sick and not doing well.
on Saturday we went out and worked though because we had a lot of apt we needed to cover. we got a member referral a few weeks ago for a girl name Shannon and we were able to contact her. she is sooo amazing and soo prepared we had a really good lesson with her. we set her for baptism on jan 10 and she is really excited. shes reading and praying and she came to church on sunday! shes really excited to be baptized so that was exciting.
This area we are seeing so many miracles. its cool because sister muasau said the area wasn't like this before. but its amazing because we now have 6 baptismal sets. we have been seeing so many miracles!
Transfers are this week I think sister muasau and I are both staying. today for p day we are having a sisters day so we are going to the mall with the other sisters and hanging out with them it will be fun. it will be us the Sioux city 2nd sisters and the hermanas so today will be a fun day! :)

Dear Sisters and Elders:
What a great time of this world to be a missionary! You are all doing fantastic! Even with the cold weather our baptism sets keep rising as well as lessons taught RC/LA. Our faith in finding through members is paying off! Also I feel our faith has increased as a result of the Book of Mormon. With our reading I just finished for the 43rd time. I will admit the focus on the change of heart through the Atonement has made this my best read ever! Thanks to all who have been reading along as a Mission, I pray this has been a great read for you as it has for me. I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON!!
With our up and coming Christmas Zone Conferences we look forward to hearing your insights on how this book has changed your heart and strengthened your testimony as well as those whom you have taught. "I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth and the keystone of our religion, and a man could get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book" (Joseph Smith). I know that, as a Mission, as we abide the precepts of this book, we will be nearer to God and have great success!
Thank you for your fasting and prayers for Elder Espinoza. He is in the Lord's hands and we know He can make him whole! Have a great week!
Love,
President Weston @47 BofM 531 Finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
