Week 24- CCCHHRRRRIISSTTTMMAASS!🎄

How annoying was that title? That's how I feel though. Merry Merry Christmas to everyone!! It's the best time of the flippin year. 

Been doing so great over here. There's been so many Christmas acitivites and it's been a blast. I'll add some photos. I love love love the birth of Christ it's such a special time. Its been such an amazing time to reflect of what the Lord has done for me.

An experience this week when the Lord assisted us was on Wednesday. Sister Hanks and I emphasised the importance of alignment prayers and were saying them consistently throughout the day. Prayers of gratitude, strength, and forgiveness after EVERY little thing we did. We went to visit a random member dot family that we have never heard of. We felt prompted to go and knock on their door. They didn't answer so what did we do? Alignment prayer! In the middle of the prayer the mom called us and said please please come back on Saturday! She sounded so happy and so excited. Then we started walking and saw a man who we started talking to and immediately approached us. We started a conversation and invited him to church explaining what the service would be like and how special the service was. He smiled so big and told us he would love to bring his family. 20 minutes into church on Sunday his whole family comes walking in with smiles on their face! God is so good. THEY ARE AMAZING. I cant even explain how happy it feels to see a whole family walk into church. He astonished us this Sunday and it lit up our world! This joy is what missionary work is all about! It makes everything worth it. God loves us all so much. 

Our friends are doing amazing. Lacey is getting baptized in January. She rocks. She's 14 and is sooo excited. Also the members here are AMAZING I feel so lucky and blessed. Made so many new best friends!! 

Here is my short simple favorite scripture of the week. I have been studying Luke in the Bible during this Christmas season and came across the BEST. Fire scripture. Luke 1: 37 "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Cmonnnn that's so good. 

Everyone Tell me your Christmas plans!! Shoot me an email. Hope you're all having a Holly jolly Christmas. LOVE YOU
