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.
