Ping Pong!

This week was amazing! Christmas eve we spent with our Bishop and then Christmas Day we visited a lot of families and we had a ton of fun. It was so good to talk to my family, I miss and love you! Saturday was one of the best days ever. It started off in the morning. We were invited to the classic Ohio Cincinnati Mission Ping Pong tournament in the morning, single elimination match. We played at the Porters and my first match up was against Westly Porter. Took him down. The next match up was against Nathan Porter. The first game I slid by beating him only by 2 points. The second game I took control and beat him. The next match was the championship game and I was playing against the defending champion Kevin (recent convert in the Western Hills Ward). And he was super good... he beat me... but it was still fun. I took second place and had a great time. So it was good to get back on the tables, it has been a while. The rest of the day was even better though. Sembiana and Mechel got baptized!!!! It was awesome and it was so good to see those kids enter into a covenant with our Heavenly Father. The baptism was awesome and the next day the confirmation went great. At sacrament meeting our recent convert Heather gave the opening prayer. She was super nervous but she did a great job, she has only been a member for 2 weeks and she is doing so awesome. It amazing how the Lord is preparing people and it is amazing how the Lord is blessing us. We are working with the Briggs family now and they are doing well and should be baptized soon! Miracles are happening every single day and it is such a blessing to be a part of this work at this time. Thanks again for all your prayers and all your support!!!
