Week 32 - December 19, 2022

This week was awesome and so so busy!  But I have some exciting news!  We put Mark and Matthew on baptism date for December 31!  I'm so so excited for them. They are twins and they're 14 years old, they've had a hard life already and live with their aunt and uncle who are members. They say another reason why they want to be baptized is to have the life that the gospel brings and to be sealed to their aunt and uncle!  So, I'm so so excited and happy for them and the path they want to get on!

We, also, had exchanges this week and I went with Sister Hilton!  She's so cute and plus we got to go down to Charlottesville (IT'S SO CUTE).

But, when we were on our way home, Virginia had a freezing rainstorm!  Those of you who don't know what that is--it's pretty much when it rains and because of the humidity, EVERYTHING freezes!  Literally, there were icicles everywhere and there was no home on the road!  By the time it was nighttime, though, it was pretty much gone and safe to drive.  People were telling us they shut down school for days and no one goes out, and I didn't believe them..but it's true🤣 

On Tuesday, we had interviews with President, and I always leave feeling ready to go to work and so motivated!  President Hutchison is the most dedicated man I know and I'm so grateful for his example.  But so crazy that transfers are already happening, and we will find out this week!  I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I know that God knows exactly what is, so all I have to do is trust him!

I cannot believe that this week is Christmas, it came SO fast!  It doesn't feel much like Christmas here without the snow, but I'm so grateful that this Christmas I get to spend thinking and understanding the true meaning of this holiday.  I've loved being able to spend more time with my Savior these past couple weeks reading 3 Nephi and the gospels.  I love nothing more than talking to people about Jesus Christ and helping them understand more who he is to them!  To me, he is my brother, best friend, Shepherd, Savior, Redeemer, Counselor, and many more.  I've truly come to know him and understand who is he to me, and I love him so much and this Holiday season when everyone thinks more of him!  I hope you all have the best Merry Christmas ever and remember to be more like our Savior and invite, love, care and share with all those around you!
The Hermanas baptism! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM VIRGINIA, LOVE YOU ALL!!
