Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! It all started Tuesday when we had
our awesome missionary Christmas party! We did a fun game of white elephant and
I gave away some silly straw glasses... and I got a dog calendar..... IMO not
sure what to do with it since I'm not the biggest fan of dogs but I
guess I will see. We then did Christmas carols where we all stood on our
chairs and jumped around singing frosty of jingle bells. The craziest was when
we sang the 12 days of Wa-Tac where each zone got a different number and would
do something crazy while we sang it like lifting our chairs or throwing our
cups, etc. We were also able to watch each zone do a skit and everyone said our
zones had one of the best. We took different Disney songs and made the district
4... it was so funny!
Christmas eve we ate at a members home and shared the He
is born video and talked about all of the words that describe our Savior
and why he is who he is. Then on Christmas we couldn't proselyte so
we spent it with members. We were able to talk with our family's which was
awesome. I'll be honest I think I had a better day in the MTC for Thanksgiving
than I did for Christmas but it was cool. We also went to visit Sister V.
and she always inspires me! but since the temp out side was so low and her
house isn't sealed right? She couldn't get her breathing under control to be
able to breath so she had to push her button to be able to call to go to the
hospital and this was I guess her 7th time going this year which is scary. But
I think the three of us were more scared than she was...
Then Christmas and Christmas Eve we got together and sang
Carols to people and to play Mafia and volleyball. I'm super excited because
after this we will be going bowling together.
We have been trying to work with the members more to be able
to get baptisms through them and I have been loving Mosiah 18:8-10:
8 And it came to pass that he
said unto them: Behold, here are the waters of Mormon (for thus were they
called) and now, as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be
called his people, and are willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may
be light;
9 Yea, and are willing to
mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of
comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and
in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of
God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have
eternal life—
10 Now I say unto you, if this be the
desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the
Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him,
that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his
Spirit more abundantly upon you?
I love you all and hope you have a great New
Year!!!!
