Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! My last one away from all yinz!

Well this week has been hard with everyone preparing for the holidays not many people have time for us so it has just been a slow week.

But we decided to knock this street and we went out and the first door we try this lady named Faylynn came to the door and we start talking and she said she isn’t attending church because a lot of churches don’t believe what she believes although everything she believes is right in the Bible. She proceeded to tell us how she knows the Bible is not complete and that we need to decent through the spirit what is true and what is not. So we had a good talk with her and she was interested in learning more so we are planning on going back and talking to her some more after the holidays. But she was just so awesome we look forward to sitting down and talking with her!

So Christmas Day I got to skype everyone witch was great! It’s weird every time I have Skyped in the past afterwards I get really homesick but this time I was not homesick at all because I know I will see all of them soon enough! Hahaha last skype of the mission! That’s weird to think!

We also took shovels and just shoveled everyone’s walkways in our neighborhood for 5 hours straight because no one like to talk to us on Christmas Day but everyone was so appreciative for the shoveling s9me people came out and brought us cookies and were so happy for what we did on Christmas Day! It was truly amazing to be able to serve all Christmas!

Our investigator Kazia came to church Sunday and Johnny has been reading and praying about the Book of Mormon and said he is starting to get an answer! So the investigators here are progressing so much!

Our investigator Russ had car problems and his car wouldn’t start for like a week and he couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. And so we went over for our usual lesson and we taught him about prayer. So the next day he got so frustrated with his car he went back home and prayed asking Heavenly Father for help with his car. He then took a nap and when he woke up he heard a voice tell him that the starter was broken. So he went down and surely enough it was the starter so he fixed it and the car started working instantly! Hahaha he was so excited to tell us about how God answered his prayer!

We had Zone conference this week and it was my last one so president had me give my departing testimony. Since I was the only Elder in my group going home at this conference that meant that out of everyone in that chapel Elder Swisher had been out longer than everyone! Even President! Hahahaha that made me feel really old! But it was great and got some pictures with some good friends that I said bye too!

Well that’s about it. Thanks for all your love and support I love and miss you all!

Elder Swisher
