Hey everyone!
Snow in St George! That's crazy! I had heard from a couple people that there was about 6 inches there. And actually it did snow here as well, we had clouds and it was cold, like in the 40's, and there were a couple rain drops, that's snow right? At least for Vegas it is haha. We were looking forward to snow so bad but oh well. I appreciate the videos of Charlie and the snow. Also thanks for the letter Mom; I hope you get mine today. To answer your question, I haven't been here very long so I will be staying. You don't have to worry about that. Transfers are next week, but I think Elder Parker will stay as well.
There have been a lot of good things happen this week! We have two, almost three people set for baptism! The first one is Dorian, he's 19 and been taking the lessons for years now, he's really good friends with the Rosequist son who just left on his mission. Well we hadn't taught Dorian at all since I've been here, but he just came to the Rosequists on Wednesday and said, "where's the missionaries, I want to be baptized!" so we set him for December 21st! We have been meeting with him and making sure he's prepared for that day. The second person is Kaumaka, we were teaching him last night and we hadn't even thought of setting him with a date yet, I don't know why, but I was prompted to do so, so we set him for January 11th. He's a great kid and I'm excited for him. The 3rd person we are really excited about is Tony. I think I told you about him, maybe not. But he was just a referral we received a couple weeks ago from this guy that lives in St George and works in Vegas, and he works with Tony. Well we taught Tony the Restoration last Monday and it was one of the best lessons I've had! When we got to the point of the Book of Mormon, we pulled one out and handed it to him. He grabbed it and just gripped it so tight with tears in his eyes. He kept saying, Thank you, Thank you while wiping his tears. It was a very strong moment for us of the spirit bearing witness to him that this is the truth. He is reading reading it a lot and was even at church yesterday, which he loved. He accepted baptism, but we will be setting a date for it today. After sacrament he made another cool comment, he said something to the effect of, "I feel I've been wandering in the woods lost, and I have just found the way." I know he has found the way as well. I know this is the truth, the way to find happiness and joy in our lives. Like you said Mom, there are so many bad things in the world right now, seemingly terrible to raise kids in, and it would be without the truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people don't understand it, they don't understand that by living a certain way can actually bring them TRUE happiness. Not the happiness that lasts a couple days or weeks, but it will last FOREVER. And it is available to every person on earth. Those things that may look bad in our lives--with guilt and shame, those feelings can be taken away by Jesus Christ. And our purpose is to bring that knowledge to them, and I'm so grateful for that opportunity I have to be part of it. That's my testimony to you, and I thank you for all your support and love.
I'm looking forward to Christmas, it's coming soon! And I hope everyone has a great holiday season leading up to it. I love you all and I will talk to you later!

Another thing I forgot haha, so Krystal and Robert seem to be doing great, but I have a cool story to tell. When we were teaching the, she told us to refer her parents to the missionary's, they live in New Mexico. So we sent in a referral and the missionaries started teaching them as well. Well now they are baptized! Also Roberts little brother got baptized already, and his other brother is getting baptized. It's been so cool to see it just spread among their families!
