Hello Family!
Merry Christmas!!!! I'm excited to talk to you soon! I'll be calling
around 1:00 - I hope that's okay! We can talk for about 30-40 minutes
(so it'll be for 40 minutes :) )
This past week was good. The kids got baptized! A lot of people were
there to support them. I got to lead the music (the songs were picked
by the kids and one of them was pretty obscure - that was an adventure
:)) and give the talk on the Holy Ghost.
We met some new people this week tracting and from referrals. All of
our investigators now are in the beginning stages of conversion, so it
will be cool to be able to teach them.
We had dinner with a recent convert named Brother Hill this past week.
He met the sisters in September and got baptized in October (and
would've gotten baptized sooner if they'd let him). He has such a
strong testimony of the church! He's read the whole Book of Mormon
and has studied so much. He knows just about everything about the
church and he tells everyone about it! He's about to start taking
every religion class at BYU online. It's amazing to see how much
excitement the fullness of the Gospel brings into people's lives.
I love you all so much! I can't wait to talk to you on Sunday!
Love,
Sister Monson

Hello Family!
Thank you so, so much for the Christmas package! Sister Williams and
I love the cds and our stockings! That made my day :)
It's been a good week. We are having three baptisms on Saturday!
There are a brother and a sister whose parents have been less active.
They are the sweetest kids. There's also a girl whose grandparents are
recent converts. Her sister wants to be baptized now, too, and her
parents are willing to learn more. It's wonderful to see the Gospel
spread through this family.
I'm definitely in Oklahoma. On the drive home, on the freeway, I hit a
possum. That was traumatizing. It was my first time experiencing
roadkill first hand. Up to that point I'd only seen the after-effects.
Also, on the way up to an appointment's door the member who was
coming with us screamed. I turned around and found that she had
discovered a donkey following her and it startled her. It would've
startled me, too.
I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Monson
