Everyone needs to go to Mormon.org right now. Don't even finish reading my email. Stop everything and spend as much time as you can on there, because this Christmas Initiative is going to change the world! I am so excited for this! 25 days of Christmas, while becoming like Jesus Christ in 25 Different Ways!! I hope you are all able to remember Christ this week as you begin this Christmas Season the right way:)
One of the days it says "call your mom" and I laughed and looked at my companion and said, "Wait are we allowed to call home since it is telling us to?"
She looked at me and said "Probably not" as she scrolls down and it says again "no seriously call your Mom!"
She looked at me and said, "It's a sign!"
So know that even though I can't, that I would call home in a second if I could.
But I am so excited for all of you and for the Love that comes with the Christmas season. Everyone is so much kinder, and more willing to be like their Savior. Yes there is greed in the world, but there are still people who understand the true meaning of Christmas.
The other day we were walking across the street, and usually we have to fight our way across because no one will let us through, but a nice man stopped and yelled "Merry Christmas!!" and I couldn't help but smile. I really love being a missionary during the Christmas Season.
How are yall going to remember Jesus Christ this Christmas Season?
We are going to the Festival of Light here in Chickasha, I guess it is voted #1 in the nation, but to anyone who has been to the Temple Square lights, it is nothing in comparison. But it is beautiful. And everyone is so excited for Christmas and happy and in love, and It is wonderful to just sit and watch the happiness that Christmas brings to everyone around.
I hope you all know how much I love you and that I think about you all day every day. I am sad to be so far away this season, but hey If I can bring one person closer to Jesus Christ this month, then it will all be worth it. Pray that we can find new investigators here in Chickasha, and that we can stay warm as the cold front comes in:)
I love you all, You are all wonderful and I am so grateful for you. Thanksgiving was wonderful, the Shaws and the Kings fed us well and we had so much fun with them. No turkey bowl, but we did play a mean game of Basketball and of course the missionaries won because we are blessed:)
As Brother King said "The only thing they do is read their scriptures and practice the holy game of basketball so I don't feel so bad that we lost"
We don't ever play basketball but my scripture study is helping me in more ways than one it seems:) We played a lot of fun games with the Shaws, and they fed us some good pie:)
I am so grateful for this gospel, and for the opportunity I have to be a missionary this Christmas season. I hope you all find a way to come closer to Christ, and Remember the true meaning of the Season. "Ye are the light of the world" so show it. Be kind, serve, and smile:)
I love you!!!
