Wow! I can’t believe that tomorrow will be my second Christmas here in the good old Mission field. It’s so dang crazy how fast time flies!! We’ve had a great week full of activities and lessons that we’ve taught and everything. But, I had a really special experience that I would like to share with you all!!
So yesterday was Sunday. We had a special activity as missionaries and we invited our investigators and converts to the church! Anyways, we had a missionary choir. To start the activity, our Mission President, President Conde, told them all that they needed to pay a lot of attention to the feelings that they will fell as we sing!! WOW! I know that every single person that was in that sacrament room felt such a strong spirit - so strong that it touched my heart and I know it touched everyone that was there!! I love something super funny that our President told us. He said if we were able to feel the spirit listening to any Christian Music, then The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would’ve adopted their music! Haha. Isn’t that so dang true!!
Also it was so amazing going to the activities because I was able to see quite a few families and converts that I have had and I was so filled with joy seeing them again!! I sent a picture of Luis who was the first person that asked me to baptize him in the mission and it was so amazing to see him and his brother-in-law, Andy. And also the Venezuela family!!
Goodness, I know the church is true. I know that Christ lives and that He loves us and that He is watching over us! I know that the Book of Mormon is true. It has blessed my life more than I could have ever asked!! I love you all so much and I hope that you can all feel the Spirit of Christmas. I’m not with my family, I don’t have presents under a tree, and I’m definitely not eating much chocolate here because it’s super expensive. But, I have felt the Spirit of Christmas so strongly at this time - and that’s much more important! Have an amazing Christmas!!
