To my dearest family and friends.
What a wonderful time of year. This Christmas has
definitely been different. I miss the family, and
watching Christmas movies, and sleeping in. BUT..... I get to see first hand
WHY we even celebrate Christmas. That is so valuable to me, to see people's
hearts, eyes and lives change because they come to a realization that there is
a father who loves them enough to sacrifice his son.
A Couple of experiences-
- We have been doing a lot of caroling. We got to go with our Roommates the other night and sing to some older ladies that live in a retirement community. Every time we sang to someone, we asked if there was anyone else they would like us to sing to. After a couple times of doing that we were referred to someone name Laticia. She opened the door and we sang to her, at the end of Cantan Santos Angeles (Angels we have Heard on High) with tears in her eyes, she called one of her friends and then told her to listen as we sang Silent Night. She kept telling her friend how God had sent us. It was so awesome to see the Holy Ghost touch her.
- Another day we decided to carol to a couple of our neighbors, one who barely speaks English and just moved in, and then another named Amy who we know pretty well. When we sang to the first neighbor, she was kind of surprised to see us. We asked if we could sing one more. At the end she hugged us and started to cry. She invited us to come back and read with her the Christmas story from the Bible.
Some big things have happened this week.
-Last Pday, Maria and her sister Sophie took us to candy cane lane. It was really fun and pretty. Pictures to come next week.
-Thursday our roommates got a call from President Van Cott. He said that because of some recent changes the trio was going to be separated. The next morning Sister Romrell got emergency transferred. So we are one less in our apartment.
Love you All! I hope you have a safe Christmas! I love you!!!!!!
