Hey all!! So
apparently my email last week didn't go through all too well!! Major bummer, but hopefully it works this time
😅
This week has been
super awesome!!! It's been the Christmas
season out here and man I love it!!! Christmas
is super different as a missionary, but it's a good different. Before I get to Christmas Day I want to tell
you guys about a few days before Christmas…
So as a district we
decided that the day before Christmas Eve we were going to go out and carol to
some families that we felt would benefit from us going over. We start off and for
investigators and people who aren't members we gave them a video on Christ that
was on the restoration as a Christmas present. And for members we gave a little nativity. Well as we were going around we visited these
older ladies who weren't going to have much company this Christmas. And almost every year at Christmas time I have
an experience that gives me a deeper understanding and meaning as to what Christmas
is and the true meaning of it. Well this
moment was that time. We went over and
we sang to the two of them and gave them the nativity and the lady starts
crying and letting us know how thankful she was that we had thought of her this
Christmas. It just really meant a lot to
me knowing that we as missionaries made a difference in this ladies life and
that even though I have no singing talent at all the spirit was there. It gave me the understanding of Christmas as
a missionary this year.
Christmas as a
missionary is all about others and serving them and helping them feel the
spirit of the Savior at this time of year.
Now when Christmas
came around it was super cool!! I got to talk to my family!! How fun is that?!? It was really awesome being able to talk to
them on Christmas. I am so thankful for
how supportive they have been especially at this time of the year. Towards the end of my call my mom asked me to
share a spiritual thought with them and kinda bear my testimony in whatever I
felt needed to be said. It's difficult
to describe how I felt as I shared my thoughts and my feelings with them. I
knew that I needed to say that. And as I
bore my testimony on Christ it was so amazing to be able to apply what I have learned
and what I feel as a missionary with my family. I love them and I'm so thankful for them and
everything they have ever done for me. Thank you J
I love you all and
I'm so thankful for you all!! I know it's a bit late but Merry Christmas
everyone!!
Love,
