The True Spirit of Christmas

Amazing Companion

Wow, my comp is amazing. I have learned so much from her. I am so glad

that she is my companion. She is so focused on the work and works so

hard. What I love about her is that in every situation and opportunity

 that she has, she teaches. She is also really good at the language!  She studied

Portuguese before her mission.

Less Active Work

This week we worked alot with menos activos (less actives) and two of them came to church! I was so happy. :). One of the menos activos is Glousia

and she had her birthday this last monday so we had bolo rei and soup

 and sang to her. :).

One of the menos activos is named jeniza and she lives with two

of our investigators. Jeniza came to church this week. :). Its great

because she lives with two our investigators that are named Jessica

and Patricia. They are both in school right now and super busy.

 

Calling To Repentance

Antonio is great. Haha my companion was super hard on him and called

him to repentance! I was like sister Jackson hahah. Its crazy he is so

ready for baptism, but wants to wait until Easter when the water is

 warm. We told him it would be warm! He was like i am following Jesus

and sister jackson was like no sr antonio your not, because you are not

baptized. But he said that he wants to be baptized, but just wait. We

 shared with him the scripture of not waiting to repent.

We are also teaching two muslims right now. We have been working

more with members which I love! This ward needs support and also its

good because I feel like eventhough we haven't had any baptisms in a while, we are helping the ward.

 

Learning to Speak on the Fly and Some Pretty Awesome Parents

Also I gave a talk this week.  I had like no time to plan it

durring the week so I was writting it durring church. But my talk was

 teaching like Christ. My main points were teaching by example,

teaching people with love, and different ways we can prepare ourselves

to teach like Christ. In my talk I talked about how mom and dads

taught me so much, but most of the time it was not by what they said

 but by their examples. I shared how dads would wake up for his church

callings early and never complain and I shared a story about mom when

I would wake up and see her reading the Book of Mormon. Mom and dads

you both were such great examples to me. Thank you. hahah I started to

 cry when I talked about you guys.

The True Christmas Spirit

I love this work. I know that if Christ was on the earth he would be

doing the very same thing. I feel so blessed to be able to do this

work and help others to better their lives through the atonement of

Christ. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ. This is a

great time of year to serve and remember our Savoir, Jesus Christ.

Remember that He loves you all so much. Serve someone this week :)
