Christmas is in the air!! :D

the christmas parade that we are in is this weekend and I am pooping my pants haha I really hope that everything falls into place for it and that it's not a disaster. Being on a mission has made me appreciate well functioning wards so much haha. The branch here in amherst though is awesome and I love all of the members soo much. This past week was the primary presentation, there are 5 kids in the primary (4 from the lee wens family and 1 from the ackroyds family) and they did so good:)

sister lefler is finally here in amherst and apparently she used to be in barnwell 1st ward! haha what the heck! She knew sadie and brynn. Yesterday we did our companion swap, we met the other sisters in hampton in new brunswick, but me and sister ceron were late because our car wouldn't start so we ended up taking the elders car haha hopefully are car survives the winter! it's not even that cold here yet! I think that our investigator tony is slowly dropping us:( He said "I will just give you guys a call" which is never a good sign. He is strugling with making God the biggest priority in his life. Nicole is still doing well though, she reading the book of mormon every day. this week president pratt has made a promise to all of the missionaries that, if we work hard, we will all find a new investigator this week. I just want to find someone to teach so bad! we have been struggling to find people here in amherst. Yesterday though we found some really cool potentials and I am so excited. We were walking, trying to find this one road that we had planned to knock but we couldn't find it but we ended up talking to this one mother and her kids and apparently the missionaries had taught them before but they had just lost contact. she said that her kids have been asking when the sisters were going to come back:)! 

I am so excited for christmas, and caroling and shoveling people's snow. I'm going to do a secret santa in our district too haha

i love you all so much!

love sister wood
