Family,
Wow, this week was... kinda hard, to be quite honest... BUT I'm chugging along. I just have to say, I am SOO excited to SKYPE next week!! It'll be so great to see and talk to you! What a relief it will be :) Thanks for sacrificing Christmas this year to wait for me: I really am excited to have Christmas with you! (even if it IS in February!)
We have been invited to so many members' homes for Christmas this year! We have had to politely decline some invitations. But I am so grateful the members here are so warm and amazing to us! So here's the plan for Christmas: I don't know what time we will Skype... let me make a phone call and confirm real fast....
But Christmas Eve we have a little time to email and shop for groceries and then that night we'll Christmas party hop at different members. We may end up caroling to our investigators! I look forward to this Christmas. There will be a lot of Christmas miracles this year... I can feel it!
This area is rough. I am grateful for the things I am learning here. The Lord knew I needed to be in Skline for my last stretch... I have prayed and counseled with Him a LOT lately, and it's humbling to know that He is doing what's best. I am happy to submit to His will and do what He asks, though it may not be easy all the time. Missions AREN'T easy, I know that from experience, but it's definitely that way so we can learn lessons we wouldn't learn otherwise.
I am so thankful for your prayers and faith in me. On days when things are hard, the knowledge of all who care about, love and support me in my decision to be here brings me so much peace. I love it here. I love the Christmas season. I love being a missionary. I love my friends. I love my family. I love my Savior. I love my Heavenly Father.
I LOVE MY LIFE.
Sorry this email is short...don't know what else to say! Other than: THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!
