I'm staying in York for Christmas!



How's it going everyone. This week we painted a member's kitchen, we double knocked some doors, we met a lady who joined the church in Cyprus, and the blessed transfer calls came again and...

I'm staying in York for another 6 weeks! I was super relieved because I really wanted to stay here for Christmas and the work has especially been going really good lately. There were only a couple of missionaries that got moved in the zone this transfer. But yeah, the work is going really well and people are a lot friendlier on the streets. Just a quick change that I have to make to the blog is that here in Europe, people are really sensitive and I can get in trouble if I post something about them without them knowing. So I'm gonna have to stick with the first letters when I talk about anyone who isn't a ward member to stay safe. 

On Thursday we painted Liz Brown's kitchen. I really enjoyed just listening to Christmas music and doing some service. Her 12 year old son was in the other room playing Skate 3 and yelling at the tele as well. It was a lot of fun! 

A different day this week, Elder Peña and I were knocking and we saw a door that someone had left their keys in. So we knocked on it and we met a super nice lady named R in her 20s and we talked about the Christmas video on the Church's website. She told us, "Oh wow! So God's online now." She had a really funny sense of humor and we left her a Christmas card. Then after we left, Elder Peña said that we needed to go back and give her a Book of Mormon. So that's what we did. We went back and gave her one and taught her about the Plan of Salvation. 

We met Trisha this week too. She joined the church in Cyprus a couple months ago. She was telling us how she's been investigating the church for 50 years and that she finally decided to join and be baptized in the Mediterranean Sea. Haha! She's such a funny lady. She lives in York and in Cyprus during different times of the year. 

I can't believed that Christmas is in just 2 weeks!! The missionary Christmas party is next week and Elder Peña and I are planning something big for it.  I'll let you guys know once it happens haha! Life is gr8 m8s! D keeps coming to church and F can't wait to keep learning more! I love all of the lads and lasses that are reading this and I hope that Utah is nice and snowy, because there's no snow in York! 

Cheers again from Elder Holyolyokie!
