Lindsey's Life on Temple Square: Week #14

Hiiiiii Everyone!

Sister Sughroue waiting to give tours after
Music & the Spoken Word featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey! We went to Brother and Sister Cook's home in bountiful, they are a awesome family and were so excited to have us over for dinner! The food was delicious and they sent us home with left overs..... ahhhhh a dream come true. We shared a spiritual message with them and really enjoyed being in a home surrounded by a faithful family!

I know you all are wondering about the lights, yes the lights came on Friday night and it is so packed everynight... the line to see the Kristus is like waiting in line at Disneyland for space mountain. Except the Kristus is so much better than space mountain. We have a few new assignments and one of them is Sing and Smile.... we basically carol as a district and everyone loves it... people record take pictures and join in! Temple Square is packed with members but also non members so we talk to everyone and then we find them! haha

HE IS THE GIFT. The church has a new initiative this holiday Season it is all over mormon.org and lds.org, with a new video. http://www.mormon.org/christmas. I love this short video, it is so powerful and reminds us all the true meaning of Christmas. It tells us that Jesus Christ is the first Gift, and this is so true. Because of our Savior we have happiness, hope and light in our life. I love how Temple Square is packed with members because we get to invite them to share this gift with everyone around them, this is the best gift anyone could receive this season. So if you are reading this... I invite you to 1st Discover who the Savior Jesus Christ is to you, 2nd Embrace him in your life, 3rd share this gift with some one else (: Thanks! hahaa.

The Campos family came for the lighting of

So last week everyone in our areabook either dropped, or just was so excited when we called they passed out and couldn't answer the phone. But anyways.... we found 3 new investigators this weekend! All of them were over incoming chat and phone! Nick is from the Ukraine speaks perfect English, he came on chat, I asked if I could call him, and after the end of our conversation he got the confidence to go to church the next day and has a baptismal date for the December 21! He is so in tune with the spirit and told me he met missionaries once a year ago but has been trying to avoid that fact that he knows the Church is true but now it is time to take a leap of faith! And I feel so blessed to be by his side as he makes his way towards baptism!

On Sunday, I got to announce after Music and the Spoken Word outside of the Conference Center it was so much fun and freezing!
