Hello my sweet family,
It was so amazing to be able to share the time with you over Skype and to enjoy that special time together. It truly invited the spirit of Christmas and made my heart happy.
Also because I just talked to all of you about 2 hours ago I'll just send a general email to all of you today! Also because I'll be short on time because we are celebrating and having fun :)
I think the world becomes a little more bright and the people's hearts become a little kinder around Christmas time every year. There's something about the spirit of Christmas that can change people. I have come to know that it is more than the spirit of Christmas, rather it is the spirit of Christ.
But that wonderful feeling of the holidays doesn't need to stop just because the day has passed. I encourage each of you to continue living Christlike lives so that we can have the spirit of Christ with us always!
During the last week we got to go carrolling to a bunch of families, as a group of missionaries and with some of the members. We went around and carrroled to members and their neighbors! I was assigned as picture taker :) easy to take selfies with such long arms.
Today we woke up early and went on a Christmas Bike Ride! That was pretty fun. We definitely got matching flannels and beanies given to us by an investigator! That was super awesome. After that we went back home and opened some packages we had received. Thank you to all of you who thought of me this Christmas season! All your gifts made me smile. After that we got to get cleaned up and then Skype our families! That was the best!
Now we are going to visit and enjoy Christmas with some of the members of the Branch. They are all super excited and so are we.
I love you all and wish you the happiest of Christmases and New Year.
