This was my first week in my new area! I'm in the Highland Hills ward in north Tacoma. It's su fun and so different! I got my old companion back who I follow up trained in gig harbor (Elder Stanger). We had a blast this week! Tacoma is crazy but the people here are elect! We have had soooo many lessons. I've taught more this week then the past like 6 months haha. That's an exaggeration but you get the point.
We had a lesson with our friend Angela and she is so ready. I know the Lord has been preparing her and guiding us to her. We had our first lesson with her on Saturday and taught the restoration. She was balling the whole time. The spirit was so strong. She literally asked us if we do baptisms in our church haha! We were like "uhh... YES!" We didn't quite put a date on it but she said she wants to be baptized around the Christmas season. So cool. Experiences like this reconfirm my own testimony of the gospel. We gave her a Book of Mormon and are going back with fellowship. She has two teenagers that she also wants us to teach! Such a miracle!
We had our ward Christmas party this week. Can't believe it's already Christmas time! It was a really good opportunity for me to get to know the ward cause I basically know no one. We had a little brunch and sang some Christmas songs all together too. The ward mission leader signed up us and the Sister missionaries in the ward to sing a song together. We sang Feliz Navidad with two ukuleles and it was interesting. It was not good haha
We had a get together with the zone and our stake president. That was really fun and a little stressful. Me and my companion had to lead the meeting which doesn't sound like a big deal... but I was stressing. It was good though
We taught this dude named Sam this week and he's a straight baller! Or at least he used to be. He's like 80 something but he's played with players from the Seattle Supersonics and even knows Jason Terry! He coaches AAU too. That was sweet... assuming he's telling the truth 
Great week, Miss you guys,
Elder Macfarlane
