Week 25: Christmas!

I'm super excited for Christmas! We just had an awesome Zone Conference this week, and we talked a lot about how out of all the Christmases you'll ever have, the Christmases you have while you're on your mission are the ones you'll never forget. The members here are reeeally nice to us and got all the missionaries gifts and invited us over for Christmas and everything. Love the people here in London North!

We've been working with N some more, and unfortunately we're going to have to postpone his baptism for a while. He was disappointed too, but we think he's also been showing some good commitment and desire to be baptized, so we have high hopes for him.

We've had some crazy miracles with finding! Usually I'm terrified of bus finding, where you sit down next to someone on the bus and start a conversation, but I started a conversation with the lady I was sitting next to, and we had an AWESOME conversation about the gospel! Lots of people around us were listening in, and when I was telling her how she could know the Book of Mormon was true, the guy sitting in front of me turned around and asked me how he could know if it was true. I started talking to him as well, and then that sparked another person's interest next to him, and it just kept going! IT WAS AWESOME!!! 

It gave me such a big testimony that we really can't do this without the Spirit, because without the guidance of the Spirit, I would've been completely lost in that conversation. I love the joy that comes from sharing the gospel, and I am so grateful for the privilege I have of being a missionary. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything else in the world.

Hope y'all have a very Merry Christmas!!! Hope to hear from you soon!!

Funnies of the Week:

A member was just telling us about his mission of finding a wife. He said he almost got a French girl once, but then she stopped progressing, so he had to drop her.
