December 15 - Hump Week - Birthday Week!!!

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!

I managed to cut out most of my time by prioritizing other emails, so I'm short on time. I'll tell you some fun stuff in the short time I have, though!

He is the Gift is going wild! I'm so happy that this amazing video is being widespread! What better way to share what Christmas is about? If you haven't seen it, look it up! He is the Gift! It is so beautiful and powerful!

MY HALF-WAY DAY WAS FRIDAY! But. . . unfortunately. . . I got the flu. I'm better now, but I was out of commission for a couple of days. I dragged myself out of bed long enough to make it to Zone Meeting. That was fun, despite the fact I felt awful. Our Zone Leaders are hilarious. They made it entertaining and spiritual and motivating! :) :) We went back and I slept the rest of the day. And most of the next day. Don't worry, members care about us. Both nights someone brought over soup and bread. <3

Sunday was so hectic! Not only was it my birthday and I was recovering from the flu, but we had back-to-back appointments all day long!!!!!!!! Which is how it should be. But when it's Sunday and you're over two wards that overlap and you're teaching multiple classes. . . you tend to get a little frazzled. :) We had correlation after church, then ran to the Vergilios and straight over to the Boaz's. . . and then we had this crazy appointement with an investigator that is really just hard to explain. She speaks Pharisee and needed a translator, and our member was highly interactive, so it was an unusual lesson! We'll see where it goes.

Members were so sweet. A couple of them gave me presents and I was sent a ton a birthday texts from other missionaries! :) :) :)

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and for all the love! You're the greatest! :) :) :) And I'm old! Hahahaha!

Love,
Sister Merkley
MBM Missionary
