Elder Connor Hudson's Mission Blog : December 19, 2016

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I can't believe it's already a week away, it came so quick! This
truly is the best time of the year though. I have had a great week and
things are going really good here. We have been showing the new
Christmas video a lot with people, that has been our main finding
approach. It has worked pretty well! We showed it to one lady this
week on her doorstep named Shelly and she cried when she watched it.
She thanked us for coming around and sharing this with everyone. We
shared with her our testimonies of the savior and she invited us to
come back. I felt the spirit very strongly at her door. We have had
lots of little experiences like that this week, it's been great! It's
crazy how much those little experiences can build your testimony, I've
seen it happen time and time again throughout my mission.

Last night we got to go to the night in Bethlehem event that the
church puts on every year. I went to it last year too. They do a live
nativity and set up a little village with shops and everything. Then
after there was some hot chocolate and cookies. We went with the
Uprichards. They absolutely loved it! I'm glad they were able to go.
We met with Richard this week too and he is a lot more interested than
we thought he was. He just doesn't express it. He said he would come
every week to church if he didn't have to work. Hopefully we can help
him with that. One step at a time.

We have had about 4 families invite us over for Christmas so we
should be busy all day. The members here are awesome, I am glad that I
stayed for Christmas. Thanks to everybody that has sent me cards and
packages, I really appreciate it!! It helps during this Christmas
season to not feel so lonely haha. I think that's about all for this
week. Have a great Christmas everybody!! I love you all!!

~ Love, Elder Hudson

PS Elder Hudson told me he gets to go to the Orlando temple tomorrow. He is really excited.
