Hey Merry Christmas!
I am SO grateful that I was able to be a missionary this
Christmas. It was so special and I felt so much love for the people
around me and my Savior. We spent time with some of the YSA members who
arent near families on Christmas Eve and it was way fun- I LOVE these
people! One of the guys that came that night also went to church the next
day- and it was his first time going in 3 years!
It's 4 degrees here right now. I have learned some
cool new winter survival tips lately like hand warmers, putting bags over your
tights and under your socks and how to use a snow mower ( I think thats what
its called). So I am prepared for all weather now.
This week was AMAZING. All the family wards are
struggling over winter break to set up appointments, but it is perfect time for
the YSA because they are all on break! So yes miracles out the wazoo,
it's the best. We fasted last week for finding and we have been seeing so many
miracles from it- we found 2 new investigators this week! One is a former
investigator named Alisa who is so cute! We taught her the first lesson
and committed her to be baptized and the next lesson she came back with a
baptismal date that prayed and picked herself!! She is super prepared and
feels so much joy as she reads the Book of Mormon- so cool!!
So I really love being a missionary... I am super sad that
it is coming to an end but I will continue to serve my Savior and to be a
member missionary and I expect all of you to hold me to it. :)
Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Paul
