Yesterday we had a zone conference
with our mission president and so our P-day was changed to today. Sorry if I scared any of you. [Monday is the normal preparation day for her mission.] I am doing fine and
I am getting excited for Christmas and the Christmas phone call. It is going to be great!
Yesterday, at the zone conference, we
talked a lot about the importance of the Book of Mormon. I want to share an experience that I had last
week. This last week we were able to catch
up with a lot of people who we have kept missing. One of those people was Bev. We were able to have a lesson with her. She mentioned that she had just barely started reading the Book of Mormon. For our lesson that day we wanted to read with
her. She was at Lehi's vision (1 Nephi 8) and
we were able to read with her. I was able to ask her an inspired question,
"Have you ever had a dream where you felt like it meant more than just a
random dream?" We were able to
apply Lehi's dream to her life in a way that she understood and recognized that
these were real people. We explained how
Nephi asked to see the same dream as his father and to receive the
interpretation of it. She shared some of
her dreams with us that she felt were symbolic or meant more than just a dream.
It was a great experience.
This last Saturday, we had our ward
Christmas party. We got to help out by
building a giant gingerbread house out of cardboard. It was pretty great. I got to wield a hot glue gun. Have I ever mentioned that I love doing
service? It is great! Unfortunately the turnout for the party wasn't
super great. People didn't really want
to drive in the snow. We had a lot of
snow this weekend and they don't salt the roads here. We didn't have nearly as many people as we
were expecting but it was still a lot of fun.
Well, I love you family! And I am so excited to talk with you in a
week. Have a Merry Christmas and
remember who the season is all about. I love you! Love, Sister Cluff
