Merry Christmas to all! :)
I love Christmas! The lights, decorations, food, music, family gatherings, festivities, lahat! This is my second Christmas on the mission and it feels great. :) Being a missionary is the most wonderful thing and even more special at Christmastime, as Jesus Christ is on everyone's mind.
This past week I went on my first exchanges as a sister training leader. Long story short, they were two of the best days of my whole mission so far. The spirit was so strong and we felt guided they entire day! Tuesday, I worked with Sister Villarca and on Wednesday with Sister Iloa. Two amazing missionaries who love to work hard and walk fast. (My perfect match!) I can't even explain how great our work was those two days! Heavenly Father was there guiding us and literally gave us the strength to keep going, to talk to one more person, to invite one more person to listen, to push ourselves just a little more to be that much better. We found many wonderful, potential FAMILIES! You know me and those families. Can't hold me back when it comes to teaching them. The best thing in the world. Aint nothin gon top that.
Friday was our Mission Christmas Conference in Naga. So fun! We watched Frozen. You know. :) (don't worry Char, we will still watch it when I get back!) It was a day full of friends, laughter, food of course, and topped off with a wonderful message from President Reeder.
This Christmas season will we CHOOSE to LET Christ in to our lives?.. I know that Christ lives. He is our Savior and Redeemer. LET HIM IN. Embrace His goodness in your lives and follow Him always.
Merry Christmas all! Maligayang Pasko! Mahal na mahal ko kayo!
