Sister Kallie Boothe: Christmas is a GREAT Missionary Tool!

This Week in the California Fresno Mission

We just had our Christmas conference! it was like zone conference... only fun and games. it was like half zone conference and learning, and the other half play and have fun with the other missionaries. President Gelwix gave a training on the historical nativity, then we ate, played bingo, sang, played other fun games, and just had fun. then we watched the end of year slideshow. it was a BLAST! I loved it. 

As far as finding all day every day, we've started something new. instead of knocking on doors and just asking if we can pray with people, we ask if we can sing a Christmas song for them! we've had a lot more success with that! i wish it could be Christmas all year so we could always do that!

Sister Kallie Boothe: The Decision to Stop Procrastinating Baptism!

This Week in the California Fresno Mission

This past week I went on exchanges to my last area. I got to visit all my investigators and the missionaries from my past district. but the cool part is............ JULIO (who we were teaching) GOT BAPTIZED 3 DAYS AFTER I LEFT! He's 50 years old and we didn't actually think he'd choose to get baptized despite being ready. However, the Sunday after we left, he came to church and told the elders that he wanted to be baptized RIGHT THEN. So they filled the font during church, baptized him, and that was that. WHAT!? How cool is that!?! You know what that means? that means that in 6 weeks what area has seen 3 baptisms. 2 young women and Julio. What a miracle! I'm so happy he got baptized! I'm praying for a miracle like that in my new area!
