HELLOO
Hello again my dear friends and family. So first of all, remember a little while back when I was complaining a bit about how cold it was.. ?? Yeah well I honestly don't know what was up with that because seriously compared to what the weather could be/ should be at this time of the year.. it is warm! Like it is DECEMBER and it has been warm.. no snow.. until finally! It snowed this week:) but then it melted again.. Never lasts too long but I'm hoping for at least a white Christmas:)
So that might be one of the reasons why it does not feel like Christmas to me right now. Or maybe it's the lack of lights, decorations, songs.. Who knows. But it has made me realize even more that really Christmas is not about all of that; Christmas is about celebrating the Savior's birth. It's about remembering Him and His life and a time to try even harder to do as He would do. That's why I love this Light the World calendar I talked about last week. It's been fun trying to follow the theme for everyday and even though sometimes it was hard to think of something (sometimes especially as a missionary ie. "suffer the little children to come unto me ") we can still see miracles when we try! One of the ladies at English class even kept saying" this calendar is seriously magic".
We wanted to help the sick on Saturday so we bought some oranges and were going to drop them off at one of our investigators'-Mila the referral from a couple weeks ago (who we haven't met with cause she's been sick)- we didn't know how to find her house so we called and she said maybe it would be better for us to come tomorrow. Then right before church the next day, she called us and said that she was on her way so to wait for her.
This week had a lot of ups and downs. Like usual. But this week we tried harder to ask some of the people who we thought might be interested in hearing our message if they would meet with us and unfortunately they all declined. Then we got stood up a couple times too and even though we were feeling a little down we still kept our faith that if we were working hard , we would see miracles and we did! The last day of the week, yesterday we had 4 investigators at church including 1 new one! It was just an experience proving to me that this truly is the Lord's work and He will move it along and show forth miracles when we believe and work hard:)
Love you all!
