We have had quite the eventful week....
1. The Christmas Devotional!!! Since Sister Deighton and I are now considered "old" in the mission, we got to go to the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional! It was absolutely amazing - President Nelson, our prophet, talked about 4 gifts that Jesus Christ has given us including an unlimited capacity to love, repentance, forgiveness, and eternal life. Those are 4 amazing gifts, and I have definitely been able to use each of them as I've served here as a missionary. Those are gifts that we as missionaries, and us as people, absolutely can not make it through this life without. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and for the gifts He gives me.
2. Fabiola! She's still doing amazing - so amazing in fact, that she wants to be baptized and has set a date for the 22nd of December! She is progressing so so quickly, and her local Sisters are great. We are really quite excited for her - she is making such great changes in her life, and we call her almost every day to talk to her and answer her questions and teach her how to be more like Jesus Christ. She sent us a message the other day after reading about the tree of life in the Book of Mormon telling us that she realized that reason she has felt so lost, is because she hasn't had God in her life and that she is so grateful to have found the iron rod :)
3. Georgia! Georgia is really cool - she is from Greece, so teaching her is definitely interested with the time change. Luckily for us though, her English is amazing. She is another one that we are teaching that is just really exercising a lot of faith. She isn't sure if she believes in God yet, but she is willing to do anything we ask her to find out. I think that shows so so much faith - she is praying, and she doesn't even know if she believes there is a God listening to her. She's trying to be like Jesus, when she isn't even sure that He is really her Savior. I love the faith that she has - she is definitely showing me that faith is an action word.
Well everything is great her at Temple Square! We're doing a lot of online teaching and a lot of talking to members every evening with the Christmas lights - I know that Jesus Christ lives and loves each one of us, and that God has a plan for us. I know that our agency is super important to that plan, but that as long as we try our best every day to be like Jesus, that everything will turn out great :)
Love you all!!
