Nativity

MONDAY DECEMBER 7

Hi!

It was SO nice only having to wait four days to get to talk to you guys again!

You know what else is nice? The weather here!! It's unbelievable! The

sun is shining, and the birds are still chirping.. I'm hoping this

stays all winter long! We even walked to church yesterday, and I

didn't have to wear a jacket! I love to look back in my journal to a

year ago and read about the terrible weather I was in, haha. Last

November 30th church was canceled because the roads were too snowy,

and the next Sunday it was canceled again because the churches boiler

was broke. Yay for good weather, I'll be praying for the sun to stay

out all of December!

Saturday and Sunday we had the best event at the church! There were

nativity sets collected from all around the world... Talk about

BEAUTIFUL! It was so fun the missionaries all took turns either

dressed up as wiseman or took turns showing the new Christmas video to

people who came in. There was a great turn out. What memorable night!

We have a good week ahead of us. Lots of good work to do this week! 3

out of our 4 investigators dropped us this week, which was absolutely

heart breaking. It hurt, but I know that it hurts our Father in Heaven

even more. He loves us so much, and wants us to choose so badly His

path of happiness, hope, and joy. You know what they say you can drive

them to the well but can't force them to drink. So this weeks plans

are to find some new people to teach! I have full faith that we will

too!

With the nativity event this week I was thinking a lot about The

Saviors birth. From day one there was no room for Him in the inn, even

Jesus The Christ was turned away from and rejected in His life. It

blows my mind that there were people who turned away from Jesus

Christ, The Son Of God. I know that when we understand Christ, and

that because of Him we can return back to God, that there is no one

we'd rather turn to. What a humble birth, for the most humble man of

all. I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ. I know that He lives, and that

He is close, closer then we think. He is literally the Son of God, he

was tempted, just like you and me are, but with His help we can

overcome any temptation and weakness. I love the Lord, and that love

seems to grow deeper and deeper as the days on my mission go on.

Have a wonderful week.

Sorry not too much to update on, and I got a little distracted in the

gym playing basketball and ran out of time to email. Wish you a great

week!! And please watch "Elf" for me! (I love that movie.. Haha)

I'll send you a video of the fun Elm street Christmas parade, it was a

blast and we got to invite so many people to the nativity event that

was as the church!
