Hi Family!!! I am excited to see you in just 2 days!! :) I can't its almost Christmas! Thanks so much for the package :) I'm not exactly sure what time I will be skyping/facetiming on Christmas, but sometime between 10-11am (Minnesota time) So be ready!! We will only have 40 minutes so be ready! Hehe. The last few days with Hermana Wiggens have been great! She is a lot of fun. Her personality is a lot different from Hermana Crosby's so it has been a lot different being with her. But we already have a lot of unity in teaching/planning and have had a lot of fun too! I'm excited to be working with her; she is an amazing missionary. It definitely is stressful taking over an area, but she is so helpful and has been working hard to get up to speed with everything which I really appreciate. She is also creative and has come up with a lot of great ideas to help our investigators. We spent a good little bit of time finding this past week since, and we were blessed to find several new people! I'm excited to see what happens with them. One incredible miracle we had this week was with O. Its been awhile since I have talked about him because we have been in pretty loose contact with him for quite some time now. He has been an investigator for over a year. He is living/doing everything he should be other than coming to church. Every possible excuse anyone has had to not come to church he has had and more. Not too long ago he finally was able to get work off on Sundays permanently, but then decided to go with a friend to another church. It's been tough. Well, it turns out that over a year ago Hermana Wiggens was on exchanges here in Lakeville with Hermana Crosby's companion before me. They found O walking his bike to his trailer. It was a miracle then because he usually didn't take that route home, but had just so happened to. He saw these two missionaries and thought they were crazy. They pretty much chased him down and were yelling "Hola!!!" But, the Spirit touched him in that moment and he recognized that the Lord had placed them in his path. Fast foward over the next year and he had been in and out of conact with the missionaries and only attended church one time, last December. Well finally on Friday O answered the phone and I had Hermana Wiggens talk to him. She reminded him of the time that they met and he was so surprised. He agreed to meet us later that night. We had some members come with us too and we went to see him. He only had a little bit of time, but Hermana Wiggens reminded him of what had happened that day over a year ago. She made a very simple, but bold and inspired statement about how this wasn't a coincidence and that now is his time to choose if he was going to listen and act. He just looked at us and said, "Ok. I'm coming to church on Sunday." We set up a ride with the members that were there with us. I'm pretty sure I prayed from that moment until Sunday morning that nothing would stop him from coming. Haha. And, he actually did come!!!! It was so awesome!! We just have to make sure we keep firm contact with him and keep him coming and he could be ready for baptism very very soon!! :) Well I don't have much time to write today, but I will talk to you on Christmas!! Love you!!! :) Love, Hermana Pierce
