What a
wonderful Christmas week. It was so fun
to be sharing the message of our Savior’s birth all week. We participated in several Christmas
activities, but boy was it cold!! Last Monday we went Christmas caroling on a
hay ride. I made sure to bundle up real warm. I think I had about 6 layers on.
Haha!
A family in
our ward anonymously provided Christmas for another family who is
struggling. They asked us to be the
deliverers. That is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas. When we got
to the house on Christmas Eve that had nothing under their tree, but when we
left it was full. That is the Spirit of Christmas—giving to others!!
On Thursday
our mission had a Christmas devotional & talent show. Our district did a
missionary’s 12 Days of Christmas song. So funny! I also did a piano
duet/battle of “chopsticks” with Sister Stone.
We had a lot of fun.:-)
Christmas Eve
was nice. We spent most of the day delivering Christmas cookies & sharing a
quick Christmas message. We spent the evening with one of my favorite families,
the Stockings. We had an entertaining performance of Luke 2.
Christmas was
exciting, of course, because we got to Skype home! That was nice. I love my
family!!
Oh, reason
for the subject: It didn’t snow on Christmas, but it was so SO windy, the snow
blew around, combined with dirt. The snow drifts looked like an Egyptian desert
because of all the dirt & wind.
Overall this
whole week was fabulous. I love being a missionary at Christmas time.
Ponderize:
Luke 2:7
And
she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
I am sure the
innkeeper didn’t know he turned down the Savior of the world, but if he did I
would guess he’d make room. Let us each
make room for Him—Let Him in!

While Proselyting we had to stop to take pictures with the
horses!
