You guys I cannot believe it is almost Christmas, it is blowing my mind! This week has been very crazy haha lots of adjusting and getting somewhat used to missionary life and figuring out our area.
This week we did have a pretty awesome Christmas party with our ward, the theme was Feliz Navidad! It was so much fun and we had quite a few people we are teaching show up and it so that was awesome! The primary kids did a nativity and sang in Spanish and it was so fun to see. It's the best to see everyone come together to celebrate Christ's birth and truly show the reason for the season!
This Sunday I spoke in church so that was classic haha I think they're trying to scare me away or something. They do a zoom sometimes still and so they put the iPhone right on the pulpit so close to your face and it was so intimidating haha! Nothing worse than making eye contact with yourself while giving a talk. Luckily, everyone in the ward is so nice and all gave me compliments even though it was truly not the best talk lol
Not much happened this week out of the ordinary just lots of finding and knocking all the doors! Oh wait! I did have a miracle happen to me this week that really boosted my spirits! So as you all know from last email, I am serving with an English only Sister in a Spanish/English area but we obviously only ever teach people in English. So we were just out knocking doors trying to find people to teach when this cute little lady answered and immediately started going off in Spanish. Usually my trainer takes over at the door but obviously this time she couldn't so she just gives me the look haha. So I shoot up a prayer and I'm like okay I can do this and suddenly me and this lady are talking in Spanish and I'm understanding enough of what she's saying that I can respond and teach her a mini lesson! It was incredible! Definitely not perfect at all and would have said different things in English BUT! She invited us back for another lesson this week and I am so excited! The gift of tongues is real and God is really looking out for us. I don't know what the future holds for Julia but I do know that he made it possible for me to be able to talk with her and convey with what little Spanish I know just a little about our message. I know now that God really does multiply our efforts and he blessed me with that experience because he knew I needed it.
Anyways, I think that's all for this week! I love you all so much and I am constantly grateful for your love, support, emails and most importantly your prayers! Thanks for always cheering me on! Remember how loved you are by so many people. God's love for you is infinite, never forget it!
