The First Week of December {week 22}

Hello!
I feel like I don't even remember what happened this week! I know it was awesome though!

I love this area so much! It's really amazing to serve here and I'm so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed me with another transfer! I love it so much! I've met so many amazing people and I just love it here! 

It's looking like we might have a baptism on Christmas Eve! We're teaching the daughter of a recent convert and she wants to get baptized on the 24th! She's such an amazing girl and I'm so excited for her to get baptized :) It will be so fun to have a Christmas Eve baptism!

It's really amazing to me how Heavenly Father answers prayers. There's been multiple times this week where it's just been so clear to me that He is listening and that He loves us. We just have to develop the eyes to see that. 

I've been able to meet so many amazing people from all over the world! I love experiencing so many different cultures. I feel like I'm on a world tour. British Colombia is pretty awesome. 

Lately we've been sharing the Light the World video. It's an incredible video and challenge about how we can do little acts of service to remember Christ each day of December! I absolutely love this season! I love it because it's just so miraculous to me that Christ came into the world, for us. I am so grateful He was born and I'm so grateful for the life He lived. I want to be like Him and live the type of life where I can recognize Him when He comes again.

Something that's so amazing to me is the support Heavenly Father gives us as we do His work. It may be raining, and it may be winter, but when we're sharing the gospel with someone it feels like we're walking on clouds. I love being a missionary so much!

Something that's stuck out to me lately is the importance of being "anxiously engaged." In this gospel we have to be willing to fight for Christ, we have to be willing to swim upstream. Because the gospel is something that is good and true there is a lot of opposition against it. We can't afford to be apathetic or just go through the motions. We have to be willing to take a stand! I don't ever want to forget all that Christ has done for me, and I pray I can live every second of my life in gratitude to Him.
