Oh the weather outside is chilly!

Hola Todos! I can't believe it's DECEMBER already!

    Its been an amazing week with lots of rain!  The weather outside is
starting to cool off!  YAY!  We had to go and get Sister Loveridge a
rain jacket so now we are twinners!  I'm excited for this weather and
getting to adventure and walk in it!
    So first off I haven't ever really introduced my companion Sister
Loveridge to y'all and I would like to tell y'all some things about
her.  My companion is a wonderful joy to be around. She is the one and
only Sister Bailey Loveridge from Roy Utah.  She has been serving the
Lord with all her might, mind, and strength for the past 6 months.  It
is impossible to describe who this wonderful missionary is. You might
just have to get to know her and decide for yourself.  She is a stellar
singer in the shower and completes my mornings as she mix tapes
T-Swift and Mo-Tab. She enjoys instant breakfast smoothies. Also she
keeps a journal of her dreams. It's weird but I love it. She has an
amazing testimony and is not afraid to share it!  If you ask her what
her goal is by the end of her mission it would be to be able to teach
the gospel in a simple way.....also to baptize nations!  My favorite
thing about her is her consecration to the Lord and it is a blessing
to be her companion.  Love mi compañera!
    We were able to visit a lot of less active's this week and we spent a
lot of time trying to find new people to teach!  We shared the "Light
the World" video with everyone we came in contact with and we were able
to find service to do for others every day. Service is the best!!
    On Wednesday there was a combined Young Woman, Young Men activity and
our bishop asked us if we would come and talk about missionary work!
There was a lot of youth that were recently called to be ward
missionaries so we are excited that they get to come out with us
during the week!  We always have #teamuptuesday which is great!  I love
getting to see the youth bare their testimonies to non-members and
share the gospel with their friends!  It is a great way to prepare for
a mission!  I would encourage all the youth to go out with the
missionaries when they can and share the gospel with everyone!  We got
to witness Colin Christiansen get his mission call this week!  He is
going to the Washington Kennewick mission English speaking and he is
leaving on January 11th 2017!  We are so excited for him!  He has been
able to come out with us and share his testimony and I know he will be
an amazing missionary!
    District meeting this week was great!  We have a new district leader
Elder Grover!  He is such an inspired Elder who is very in tune with
the spirit!  A couple trainings were given on being humble and faithful!
Both of those Christlike attributes are important and I have loved
being able to work on developing those attributes throughout my
mission!  Christ has shown the perfect example for us to follow and
become more like Him.
    We got to attend the Stake Christmas musical this week both Friday and

Saturday!  Music brings happiness to my soul!  The performances were
amazing and a lot of non-members came and loved it!  We got to meet a
lot of new people and see a lot of familiar faces!  We also had the
opportunity to help set up the decorations for this and it was a lot
of fun to see the turnout!  It was beautiful!  I'm so excited for the
Christmas season!  It will be weird not to have snow though.
    Sunday was fast and testimony meeting and Brandon went up and bore a
powerful and spiritual testimony. He made almost everyone in the
congregation cry!  He is truly amazing!  He is preparing to receive the
priesthood this coming Sunday and we are so happy and excited for him!
He calls us almost daily to ask us questions, and tell us what he
learned!  He is so excited to come out with us and share his story with
others!  He is a wonderful missionary!  He told everyone at the bank
that he got baptized and that they should too!  So awesome!  Also he
tells all his friends and family about our church and gets excited
when he tells us about his experiences!

    To end this email I would like to invite all of you to go on LDS.org
and type in "A New Vision for the Work of Salvation" and then click on
A new vision, which is the video, and "We Are One" will show up.  Watch
it!  And live it!  I KNOW missionary work is so important and all of us
should be missionaries! You got this!

The lord has promised us this!
D&C 100: 5-6
5. Therefore, verily I say unto you, lift up your voices unto this
people; speak the thoughts that I shall put into your hearts, and you
shall not be confounded before men;
6. For it shall be given you in the very hour, yea, in the very
moment, what ye shall say.

I love y'all!  Have a wonderful week!  Be safe!

Con Amor,
Hermana Mann
