I hope all of you are doing so well and enjoying the Christmas
season! I definitely am. And it´s definitely different than in the
states. Besides the fact that it´s Summer here... weird.
They don´t have very many Christmas songs so we listen to the ones
from the states and we´re totally content with that. :D Also.. we made
a Christmas tree. Out of paper and taped it to our wall. It´s pretty
much the grandest Christmas tree of all time. I will send pictures of
him another week because they are on Sister LeBaron´s camera.
Also... everyone here has stuffed Santa´s hanging out of their
windows by themselves or on ladders. We thought this was sooo weird, but
it turns out they don´t have chimneys here, so how does Santa get in???
yep! He climbs through the window!!! ahhh! So great!
I don´t have a quote this week. But I have learned that reliance
on the Lord is key. This week has been the fastest week of my mission
so far. But these past couple days I think have been the most trying.
The Lord has made many promises to me in return for the promises I´ve
made to him. I just need to rely on him. And trust him that he will
strengthen me and will comfort me when I need it. FAITH is key. If I
don´t truly believe it, how can the Lord show me?
During this week I really want to remember why we have Christmas.
What was so special about that night? What was special about this baby?
What built their faith that this was the son of God?
I love you all. I pray that you have happiness everyday.
And that´s all God wants also: for us to be happy here.
