Wow! Christmas has come so fast! I'm so grateful for the opportunity that we have to celebrate the birth and life of our Savior Jesus Christ. Although Christmas can be a fun time of year as it should be, please remember the true meaning of things as we celebrate this wonderful season. And even though I am away from family this year I am excited to be able to spend the day serving Christ, which is the best way to remember the Christmas message. This week was slow. We had some long days of finding and we had a New Trainer's meeting on Thursday which was fun. We learned a little bit about the divine companionship between Joseph and Hyrum Smith. What a sweet companionship! In the talk we listened to it spoke of Hyrum giving his life for Hyrum, which then drew me to think about the Savior. And how he gave his life for us. I've been wondering how I can give my life for the Savior more fully. And also how I can give my life for Elder MacDonald. I invite you all to think about ways that you can improve and find greater happiness in serving others.
We have a lesson today with a wonderful 30 year old woman named Ashley. And another with a man that Elder Wood and Elder Davis met by their house. (They live in our area which is awesome for us!). They are both going to be first lessons and we are really excited to get some new investigators today. Jose just moved to Manchester form Georgia and is looking for a church for he and his wife to go to. They also have a brand new baby so it's a perfect time to teach them about the plan of salvation as there are many changes being brought about in their life. We hope to invite him and his wife to baptism. Ashley is interested in hearing a message about Christmas which we have taken to mean the Restoration. Which is all centered on Christ and Heavenly Father and their love for us. So we hope to invite her to baptism as well. I love you all so much! Just an update we are at 484 baptisms as of today. And we have 45 super solid investigators set for the 28th. So please pray that the missionaries in this mission will be able to set more dates and that miracles will happen! We hope to give Christ the best Christmas present of all. More souls saved. I love you all so very much. Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith. Merry Christmas!
