CHRISTMASTIME AS A MISSIONARY IS THE BEST!

MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄❤ 

We had transfers this week so it has been so fun. Being in a trio has been awesome. Sister Tematuanui who is from Tahiti is so sweet. She's helping me with my French, and we are helping her with her English. 

This week we weren't allowed to leave home for a couple of days because of the fires, the smoke and the heat, so the work was slower. We were at least able to send some messages over the phone though, and we had lots of time to study and bake. 😄 

Yesterday we got to go to the hospital to sing to some people in our ward and it was such a spiritual/special/beautiful experience. We sang Christmas songs and, "I feel my Savior's love." The spirit was so strong, and I just felt so much gratitude for my life, my surroundings, and my Savior. Christmas can be a hard time for some people but in those few short moments, while singing to those families who had loved ones in the hospital, I was reminded of how beautiful this gospel of Jesus Christ really is. Christ is the only one who can bring peace into our lives when our situations seem hopeless. I would invite you all to look to your Savior, especially this Christmas. Turn your heart over to Him, because He is the only one who can heal, uplift, and bring peace. I have seen it in my own life, and I have seen it in the lives of the people I am serving. I love my life because it is centered around Jesus Christ. Make Him your focus, and everything will work out! 

(sorry I haven't been able to send personal emails lately. Know that I read yours to me and that I am so grateful for them.) I love you all with my whole heart and wish you the best during this Christmas season. I pray for you all often. PLEASE email me and let me know if there is anything I can do for you (even if it is just an extra prayer for you or for someone you know)

 LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.
