Hello everyone. This weekly will be short.
Christmas has been amazing in the mission.
I love Christmas on the mission! We had a Christmas Zone Conference and it was great to see a lot of my mission friends.
I learned so much. Most of it was focused on Christ.
It has been such a blessing to be out on my mission. Last week we also had interviews with our mission Preisdent and it was really good to be able to sit down and talk with him.
Christmas Eve was so amazing. We had some lessons and then at the very end of the night a family we are teaching called us and asked if we could come over. We got to sit down with them and read the scriptures with them and then they gave us a TON of Tamales to take home. It was so kind.
On Christmas Day, we got together and opened gifts which was fun.
There is a scripture we have been sharing with people in Mosiah 16:9
"He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened; yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death"Christ truly is the light of the world.
He has brought so much light and clarity in my life. I am so grateful for this time I have to grow and learn. This week as we were knocking doors I just felt so happy and so much joy. I have never loved being a missionary more and I am so grateful and excited to continue here in Lompoc another week.
