What a good week! I don't have a lot of time to email because
I just got off Skype with my amazing family! It was SO GREAT to see them and
talk to them. In fact it doesn’t
actually seem real . . . missions are a complete time warp!
Christmas has been really good here. We celebrated with our zone and had a fun
party! We have been well taken care of by the ward
and they’ve had some amazing events for us to invite people too. My family sent me the 12 days of Christmas
and I’ve been able to open a small gift and read a talk everyday. It’s amazing how easy it is to focus on the “true
meaning of Christmas” when you’re a missionary!
I’m so grateful for my relationship with my Savior and Father in
Heaven! I think about them and communicate with them
all day everyday.
I was reminded this week how much God protects and loves his
missionaries. We were on the train and
met a man from the Middle East named Ahmed.
He was very friendly and seemed interested in hearing more about the
gospel. After a strange sequence of
events (and my mom clarified some naivety on our part), we ended up at his home
with a jug of milk and 4 cans of beer. As we started teaching him the plan of
salvation, it became pretty clear he wasn’t too interested. We followed up with a call the next day to
see how he was feeling, and he proposed to me over the phone. We won’t be contacting him again and we’ve
had some laughs about this, but I still know that we were being watched over
and protected!
I really love the Christmas holiday and I’ll treasure this
one Christmas that I’ve had as a missionary!
I love where I am and I’m so grateful for the experiences I’m having!
SING DAAHN FAAI LOHK!!!!
