Courtney is doing wonderfully! She's getting excited for Christmas and skyping...with us! She recently planned a ward missionary event where she and the other missionaries invited members and their friends to come watch The Testaments. They made popcorn and handed out free Books of Mormon. Even though there weren't as many people at the event as she would have liked, they had 94 people at church the next Sunday! Including a FAMILY. She really likes it when families come to church.
Hermana Gowans' Nicaraguan attempt at Christmas decorations. Made from paper.
In the spirit of Christmas, she and some other missionaries went Christmas caroling. Her knowledge of English is dwindling. She says, "...after church we went caroling with about 10 of the elders to investigators and recent converts in our area. I love Christmas caroling. The last house was a recent convert that grew up in the states and he doesn't like it when we teach in spanish or anything so he wanted us to sing a Christmas song in english. Fail. I couldn't remember the words hahah and neither could any of the other ones. We tried Silent Night and struggled through the first verse and then all of the Latinos came in strong with us on the second verse because when we sang for the mission's party we sang the second verse in english haha."
