Week 70: Another Fast Week!!! 12/16/2019

Well, hello everyone! With another fast week gone, we are seeing ourselves a week away from the huge Christmas holiday! Everyone is getting super excited, maybe even a little stressed, for it to come. Elder Williams and I have been going to strip malls a lot because shopping is blowing up and it is a good way to contact some people! We have been getting all different types of people. Those who are super nice and somewhat responsive, but a lot who don't want anything to do with talking. I think it's just because the time of year, hiding themselves from the real purpose of it because they are being over stressed with giving gifts for everyone! It is fun, I would say Elder Williams and I are in the best holiday spirit than anyone who lives in Norman. There is no stress to the holiday's as a missionary. Literally the members love us and they give us everything. So we have no stress and worries as to what will be happening over the holiday season.

This week went by sooooo fast. Probably because it was a week filled with many meetings! We had interviews this last Tuesday. It was awesome being able to talk to President one on one. I always look forward to this time of the transfer because I love the counsel President gives me and also for the area. I think that is when things start to improve the most is when we go by the counsel and direction of the mission president. Also with the other leaders in the church as well. President Christensen is focused on aligning priesthood keys, and when we do that's how we see the most success because when we align priesthood keys, we are aligning ourselves to the will of God and Jesus Christ. That's what Elder Williams and I are going to do from here on out. We need to find out what the vision of the Bishop is as well as the stake president and support them with it. We also had new missionary grad for Elder Williams. He is no longer a trainee!! It was fun being there. Literally all the new missionaries role play to the trainers the whole time, and I got to play a very awesome friend being taught! 

Well, lifes been good. We are meeting a ton of people every single day!! It's been super fun!! Now that Christmas is around the corner, we want to make sure we are serving extra hard so that we can bring the right spirit of Christmas to everyone! There is no better peace then what we find when we are focused on the Savior! So despite the stress and fun of Christmas, I challenge you to look for the long lasting happiness that comes when we are focused on the Savior! I promise that when we are focused on the savior, we will be blessed with so much peace, hope, and love!! Hope you all have a great week!!

Love,

Elder Weese
