Share the Gift

This week was all about sharing The Gift of Jesus Christ with
everybody. So I hear that you guys received some cards about sharing
The Gift in he Ensign. Well we as missionaries got 10 each day for the
month of December and wow we have seen some amazing miracles from
doing that. It has been a great blessing to have iPads to be able to
share the video right at the door. Almost every single door we knock
will at least let us show the video with them and most are way most
open to the restoration because of it. So go watch it if you haven't
yet! :) christmas.mormon.org

We got some rain this week and surprisingly it helped us to get into
even more houses because they didn't want us to be out in the rain. :)
We got soaked but it was a lot of fun and we had a lot of success.
This week I got to interview one of the sisters investigators named
Ricardo. He has been taught the entire time I have been in this area
and have overcome drinking, smoking, and a lot of others things and it
was amazing to see him finally be ready to be baptized. As we finished
the interview he acted surprised that we were done and he wanted me to
keep asking him questions. So we sat there and talked about his
testimony of Jesus Christ. He is awesome! President and sister Taggart
came to the baptism and it went great. Except that the water heater
wouldn't turn on and so they had freezing water walking into the
baptismal font and their faces were priceless.

Zone meeting was really great this week and president even came to
that as well. We saw president a lot this week which was a great
surprise. This month we are focusing on helping our investigators
understand the importance of church attendance and I'm really excited
for it! Next week is going to be packed with a Christmas celebration,
district meeting, a wedding for the other elders investigator and less
active member, transfer calls, leadership calls, and continuing to
share the gift!

I'm sorry that my letter is so short this week but I am love the
work and am really happy! Thank you for the really awesome package
last week. Everyday Elder Kemp and I have been enjoying a new little
gift and hopefully this week or next week we will be having a
"snowball" fight. :D I love you much and hope you have a wonderful
week and don't forget to share The Gift.

Love,
Elder Hyde
