Is anybody else super surprised that it’s December? Where is the time going?!
This week is transfers too. They tell us on Sunday. Whoa, feels like we
just had transfers and they just gave us more time here!!
I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving and missed me
lots and ate lots of turkey for me! Ha! Ha!
We ate with one of our less active members this week and
she has a Texas mug in her house. It made me laugh and smile and she let me
take a picture!
Also, it looks like we are living in World War 3 here! Leading
up the big pretty area with the Christmas tree, pretty much all of the streets
are torn up and the kids are always playing in the holes. Totally looks like a movie scene here!
Hermano Oscar gave the ward Family Home Evening this week
on families and knocked it out of the park! His wife made all of the
decorating poster boards with the little drawing and quotes from apostles and
everybody loved it! His brother, Jose, is also progressing a ton! He’s almost
ditched the cigarettes for good and is starting to receive answers to prayers!
We are working with another investigator named Jorge. He
is the son of a Hermana that is coming back to church but he big time struggles
with alcohol. He is really sick, but
wants to change. It was pretty interesting
having him in church yesterday! We have faith in him and we’re going to keep
loving on him!
It’s also officially Christmas! We are singing the Christmas hymns and the
trees are up and the church kicked off the ¨He is the Gift¨ campaign. If you
haven’t seen the video, go watch it! Then post it on Facebook and share it with
everyone! It’s a video that really touched my heart this week and it keeps
touching my heart and well as the hearts of everyone we share it with. Our
Father in Heaven loves us so much. It took so much love to give us His son so
that we could all find peace, love, life, and hope here. We need to discover
this gift and then accept it. We accept it by repenting, by coming to know him,
by following Him, and it’s so special. I am eternally grateful to our Father in
Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ.
This week I am especially grateful for the sacrament. I am
grateful for how it truly can heal us. I am grateful that we have this
opportunity weekly. Weekly, we can feel of the love of our Heavenly Father and
the power of the atoning sacrifice of His son. We can feel of their patience
with us, and start to apply this patience to ourselves too. I love this gospel.
I love that our Father in Heaven has high expectations for us. I love that He wants
us to be great and strong and that He gave us a Savior to be able to it.
Love y’all tons! Find ways to share the love of the Savior
this Christmas!
