Homeless and you gave me room

This week was incredibly busy. The mission forgot we were a walking area apparently and they got rid of the sisters in the buffalo ward and gave us their area and moved us to their apartment... but they thought we were going to move ourselves. And second of all the sisters took the keys to the apartment all the way to Rochester so we had to wait until those got back. They cut the lease with Bishop like I think I said earlier and I'm really glad that it was with our bishop because we technically didn't have a place to live for three days. Bishop let us stay of course. It was really warm though so if we did need to sleep outside we probably would have lived. It was so warm all the snow melted and it was like 40 degrees.

Since we now have two areas merged we had appointments all day everyday so we got stuck moving our apartment one night. We were cleaning our old apartment until 11 and then we were moving into the sisters old apartment until 12:15. We then had zone conference the next day.

We were able to have a return lesson with a woman named Jonita that is now not in our area because Elder Bouck was gone to pick up his new companion. She had started reading the book of Mormon and didn't understand it so we read it with her. We asked her about a date for baptism and I brought up two dates. January 21st and Jan 28th. She paused and asked how I came up with those two dates. Her son had apparently told her that it would be awesome if she got baptized on his birthday, which was the 28th. Her uncle's birthday was also on the 21st. She asked if she could pray about it and we said that would be an awesome option. 

We had dinner today with the derosiers and that's about it. I hope everyone had a wonderful uplifting Christmas. Always look for the little things you can do. Exaltation is just a bunch of little right choices built up for an eternity.

My new address is 48 Raintree Island Apt #8 Tonawanda, NY 14150
