Sister Macey Gates // Week Nine // "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

 This week was a good week! We helped Alejandra/Jessica with her wedding we did all the painting of her gazibo and other stuff and then we were actually able to go to it on saturday! Nothing is like a temple marriage! but she just got baptized so they will get sealed next year and she cant wait! and we taught 2 lessons at the wedding haha people were just very intersted! it was way cool and they told us that they knew they had to be there for a reason.  There were also alot of drunk people there too haha i feel so bad they wont remember anything about the wedding.  So we did OYM(open your mouth) at a shopping mall yesterday and we were talking with these two motorcylists(not bikers we got in trouble for calling them that) haha whoops but they kept saying that they werent interested and we jsut kept talking to them and the lady started crying! she said i think this is Gods way of telling me that im not forgotten. We asked if we could give her a hug and she said no haha but we went in for it anyways and then she was like okay i really do want one! She was really glad we talked to her so that was a cool experience! We went to the ward christmas party and they do the same present thing we do with santa claus on christmas eve!! I totally at salmon night for dinner!!! and it was pretty good! i was so worried cause it was such a big piece and the smell was so bad haha but it was all good! So basically i just eat clementines like crazy!!!! I ate like 20 in 3 hours haha while we were studying.  We had multizones so that was really fun and we learned so much!! We have like 3 new investigators Alexis, Abel and Leslie and i think they are so ready to hear this gospel.  Some latinos start laughing cause they think its funny that we can speak to them in their own language haha Missionary life is great! So basically i just barely got hit on with this guy and he just started asking about our religion and going on dates and stuff and kept telling me im cute and i was like you have got to be kidding me!!!!!! And to top it off all the missionaries around me just laughed at me the WHOLE ENTIRE TIME they didnt even come help me out!! It was so bad so if i dont have that much time to write thats why.  But other than that its been such a good week! My companion is a hoot and a half haha she is a little moocher haha she loves to wear my clothes everyday! i totally dont care and she says she doesnt have any money but she really just loves to eat the food that i get cause its good haha she told me that today and then we were going to subway for lunch and she saw i had a gift card and she was like thank you so much for lunch and im just like yeah! haha its pretty funny actually cause she just keeps telling me she likes to mooch of me and says she will try to stop but its all good! it keeps life interesting haha I love and miss you guys so much and i cant wait to talk to you guys on christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are all always in my prayers! I love you all so dang much!! and i cant wait to talk to you!!:)
