Lessons as a Missionary

So the news for this week is that I am staying in Kirtland for this transfer and for Christmas. My companion got called on Sunday to be Zone leader on the other side of the state in Lima, so i will be getting a new companion tomorrow. So now I am just going to be a regular missionary I guess you could say because my new companion is the District Leader too. He has been great and has taught me a lot, especially about being a better missionary. I have for sure learned quite a bit out here. For one how powerful prayer is, if we dont pray before we go to work for the day, or even before lessons or tracting, nothing really seems to work. But a simple prayer makes all the difference. Brother Phillips taught me that one. I am getting better at making decisions too, thanks to my companion. He has put me in charge of what we are doing the past week and a half and it has really helped me a lot. And many other things as well. For the people we are teaching, we now have 2 baptismal dates, one a man named Daniel, and the other a woman named Courtney. There dates are for the 26 of december. They are both willing to drive anywhere to meet us a almost anytime of the day. Jamie is still coming along slowly, as with about 4 others, but we did get a refferal from the Phillips to teach sister phillips sister so we will see hertomorrow and she looks really promising and they are super excited because they are the only members in their family not counting their kids. It is still only getting down into the 20s at night and no snow. We also had christmas conference with the whole mission in Kirtland last tuesday. It was really fun, they had a really good lunch and we even got to watch The Best 2 Years. I think everyone was suprised by that because if you knew President Brown that is not like him, he is a pretty strict man and has really tightened things up since he has got here. Only the assistants could have talked him into that because he had to get it approved in Salt Lake. I really do appreciate all the support, it is awesome, especially because all the site sisters dont care for me getting letters and packages too much haha.  Thanks again for all you do and I will be in Kirtland for six more weeks.  Love you all and hopefully the Jazz are doing good, the basketball team wins a few, and my 1/2 of the bull keeps looking nice. 

Love Elder Koden Hunt
