| Ready for a night of Christmas Caroling |
Family!
This has been a great week. There is this new Christmas video out on christmas.mormon.org
that the church has put out as an initiative to spread the word that
Jesus is our Lord! He is the center of
Christmas! This is a HUGE
movement! With the new Christmas initiative, we've been caroling with
the elders in our ward and inviting people not only to watch the video,
but also to come to the ward Christmas parties. It's been a lot of fun
and we've seen a lot of success because of it.

The
investigator we wish was progressing more is C. M., who still
hasn't made the decision to be baptized. He has said he'll do it by the
end of this year, however. Our fervent prayer is that this happens.

| Getting Ready for Christmas! |
We'll
be going on an exchange with some other sister missionaries this week. They'll be coming
to our area after our district meeting. We're excited to encourage them,
since they are so young we want to help them understand the joy and fun
in serving a mission. Snowmen will probably be involved in our morning
workouts :)
There's a group of youth in our ward that I've really been concerned
with the whole time I've been here. Yesterday we were able to teach the
Sunday school class of all these youth and really see what has been
going on. It's pretty saddening, cliques and backbiting are rampant.
There are a few youth we've pinpointed that we really want to sit down
and talk with. Hopefully we will be able to help. They've been a worry
of the whole ward for a long time.It reminds me of the Nephites and how after
the big war in 3 Nephi, when all the people go home after being hunkered
down together, there's a time of peace at first- but then suddenly they get all
rich and there's one group of people who bite back when they are
"reviled" and another group who stay humble in the face of mockery. I
want you guys to ask yourselves- which group are you? The one who takes
offence and bites back, or the one who stands as Christ did before King
Herod- silent, dignified and humble?
Anyway- I hope you all find the joy of selflessness- serving others is the only way to be truly happy!
I love you all so much! Stay on the Lord's side :)
