So this week has been an awesome week, nothing too crazy has happened as we are just getting ready for Christmas!!! It's always fun being a missionary during Christmas season because it's like genuinely an easy way to talk to people. And everyone is honestly way nicer to us during Christmas cause ya know, Jesus!
Anyways, some things that have happened this week was last Monday we went to the movie theater to see "The Oath" and don't worry, we got it approved by President, but the movie is basically the story of the last Moroni and his final days. Honestly kinda trash, it was a very fan fiction movie and didn't have too much wow to it. Kinda cringey not gonna lie.
Wednesday was pretty sick, we had lessons with some of our members this day and honestly just a chill day! We got to talk to 3 of our recent converts and had awesome lessons with them, and then we had dinner with our elders quorum president who is hilarious! We also had to pick up a Santa suit for one of our recent converts to wear at our Christmas party which was lit!
Thursday was the coldest day of the year so far as it got down to like 32 degrees after the sun went down. And i was feeling it a lot because after we had dinner with a member, we went to visit this one guy who when we started talking to him, he couldn't speak English very well but did not hesitate to talk to us outside for 45 minutes! After the convo me and my comp both were like, nah I didn't understand squat. So we got in the car to Unfreeze ourselves because standing outside in that weather genuinely made my body hurt!
Saturday was a crazy day, we didn't have anything planned and our elders quorum president needed help moving a family so we decided to go help, thinking it would only take like 2 hours. Nah, we helped this family move for 6 hours!! It was honestly terrible and I felt kinda disobedient but there was no way we could leave our elders quorum president to finish that. Fortunately this is where finding through service came in. And it was crazy too, so we had to pick some more stuff up from a storage unit and take it to their new home. As we are loading up the truck, this semi pulls up and is trying to get through but we were blocking him, so he kindly got out and talked to us and immediately the spirit was so strong and I knew right there, this guy wanted to talk us and this guy needs God. He even asked my comp what his tag said cause he was curious and we just had an awesome contact with him. He has such awesome values and is so humble but wants more in life, we gave him a Book of Mormon and everything and he was loving it! He was so grateful we talked to him and it was so cool to see the lord direct our paths. Cause if we had more help than just us and our elders quorum president doing that move, we would have been done earlier, not crossed paths with this guy and never met him. So even though this move sucked, we saw why we were there!!
Anyways, it's Christmas next Monday so that's insane! I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas season and have had the chance to share your light with others. I love Christmas not only because we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ but we get to celebrate his life and his death and his resurrection! God is so good! He is immaculate! He is all we need to have a happy fulfilling life!! Each day when we see his hand, we can be rooted deeper in his love and enjoy the blessings of the everlasting, living gospel of Jesus Christ!! Enjoy yalls week! Here's my address in case yall wanna send a Christmas card!!
