Tractin' in not a winter wonderland

Oh man its been another great week! This week we had the mission Christmas party which was super fun! each zone had a skit that they did just like last year and they were all pretty funny! I was happy to be in Jax West again for the Christmas party because I thought we were going to work on the skit a lot but we literally only went over it for like 20 min. It still wasn't too bad though we just did a skit about different situations where elders get yelled at for something and sisters get praised for doing that same thing. For example, the sisters went caroling and purposefully did a bad job and the people at the door said they were amazing and invited them in. Then we went caroling and we played the tabernacle choir through the speakers and the people got mad at us and chased us off their porch. It wasn't bad for only 20 min of preparation! Then we ate food which was pretty good! There was a lot of dessert like last year which was awesome! Then we went tp the chapel and there was a lot of songs which were all super good and spiritual. Afterwards we went to Buffalo Wild Wings again! That's the third time I've gone already! It was super good like

always! Overall that was a super awesome day!

Sadly Michael, who I talked about last week, dropped us because he said he looked up who Mormons were and said he didn't want to be converted into anything that forced everyone to do things especially if we were forced to be missionaries. We told him that no one is forced to do anythign and that we are out here because we want to be out here and that there is a ton of false information on the internet about our religion. He never got back to us so hopefully one day missionaries will run into him again and he will be open to listening.

We did however find some more people this week and we were finally able to meet with Milan who has a baptismal date for the 29th so we are very excited for him! He is really solid we just have to be able to meet with him which is hard because his parents want him to focus on school more than anything else so he can only meet with us on the weekends but we should be able to make that work! He reads the Book of Mormon a lot and we can really see that he has a true desire to want to learn more.

Also please pray for Nesha who is one of the people we are teaching because she is going through a lot with juggling three jobs and two kids and being a single mom. She told us that she is starting to lose her faith in God and that she really wants to meet with us so that we can help her not lose her faith but she is super tired and busy to even meet with us so please pray for her in all her struggles and that she can meet with us. Thanks!

Everything is going great here in Orange Park and I can't wait for Christmas! I just hope I don't get a surprise transfer right before Christmas and leave Orange Park! I would be so sad! I am super excited for Christmas though and I can definitely feel the Christmas Spirirt as we get closer and closer. Continue to Light the World this season! I love you all and thanks for everything y'all do!

Love,
Elder Plumb
