Tuesday: Christmas Eve!! We had a lesson where we showed the chirst child video and that went so good the lady even started crying!! After we made SO many cookies & took them to people we were teaching and some members! It was fun and a good way to stay productive during the holidays!! A member in our ward invited us over to make a yummy christmas dinner with her & then we got to come home cook it and have a fun companion Christmas Eve party! It was so cute!!
Wednesday: CHRISTmas!! We were with members all day! The members here are so thoughtful and truly care for all the missionaries!! We went to a members home for brunch and they had stockings for all of us ohhh it was so sweet! We also played lots of games so i felt right at home!! We had dinner with some other members and i got to call my cute family! I truly loved christmas out here in the mission field! Being able to fully focus on christ has been a privilege and a experience i will never forget.
Thursday: we tracted a lot but not many people were home!! Its been weirdly warm here lately so we went to the park to contact & literally everyone in the town was there hahaah it was so good!!
Friday: we met with Bessy!! Bessy is an older lady who the sisters had been teaching but ended up dropping. She told us she had already been baptized twice but when we really emphasized priesthood power & how it is only found in our church she said that she doesnt think the man who baptized her had that power from God & we were like YES that is why you need to be baptized again!! It was really cool to see her start connecting the dots for herself! Hopefully she will continue to understand!
Saturday: we visited our friend Sue!! We have been to sues house many times but havent been able to get in contact with her because she wasnt home and we didnt have her number!! We decided to stop by one last time & she was home! We taught her the plan of salvation and she gave us her number so we could come back! It was a very good lesson and we know Sue is prepared!
Sunday: All three of us talked in sacrament meeting! It was so fun! Its not very scary to speak in the branch because theres a solid 20 people there haha but definelty good for the experience!! We tracted & visited some members in the afternoon/evening and that was really good!!
I am so blessed to be a missionary. I am so grateful for the opportunity i have to wear my saviors name on my chest everyday! I couldnt imagine being anywhere than on a mission right now because i know this is exactly where I need to be! I am so thankful for everyone who thought of me and reached out to me this christmas season and for all the support!! I love Y'all!
Xoxo, Sister Barton
