This week has been good! Elder Steck and I have really tried to hit the ground running. We've been out contacting and talking with everyone that we possibly could. So many different less-actives. There are a TON that are YSA age in the Reno area. So that has been waaaayyyy sweet!! On Friday and Saturday I think we had maybe one or two hours open each day. They rest of the day we were teaching and testifying. We've been operating a #LIGHTtheWORLD booth on the institute where we normally did the Waffle Wednesday stuff. We offer out free hot chocolate to everyone we see. Since we usually do this at night when it's pretty dang cold, we have a good amount of takers. Then once they come we tell them that their cups have a link to a website with a sweet video about Christmas. We usually give them a little calendar that a lady at the institute had printed off . We met quite a few people by doing this. And we had a good amount say that they would be interested in attending a service. The Sisters are also seeing a lot of success with this as well.
Elder Steck is a solid missionary! He is from Richfield Utah. He has been out as long as Elder Wegelin. I really like him. It's kinda strange because he was in my zone about four transfers ago when I was in Reno North. But that has been nice to know about him and know him beforehand. We get along well. We seem to do the work well together too. He has jumped into the YSA work and he loves it.
Winter Break is nearly upon us. It will run from December 22 until January 22. So the rest of the transfer we will have a closed campus.... But, many of our people that we work with are local! So we won't really be losing much of our investigators or Less-actives! We are happy about that. We hope to continue seeing miracles!
Last night we were able to participate in the Reno stake Sing-along. It was well done, and didn't take too long either! At the very end the whole stake divided into Soprano's, Alto's, Tenor's, and Bass's. Then we all sang the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah. It was sssssssssssssssssooooooooooooo sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was powerful to sing praises to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. It brought the spirit in a big way. As we stood together as missionaries, we were able to stand as his soldiers and representatives, bound by covenant to serve him. We gave glory to him who deserves it all It was a first and it was spectacular!
I love all y'all and each y'all
Elder Miner
MERRY CHRISTMAS
