It was a week full of miracles! Hopefully I can remember all that happened!
We had exchanges and I got to go with Sister Bailey. I just love her so much and was able to learn so much from her!! We will definitely be good friends for life:) We also saw lots of miracles and were able to find people for Sister Avendano and I to teach! It was awesome!!
We also had interviews with President Hitchcock so we got to see him and Sister Hitchcock this week! I love both of them too! I have learned so much from them and their examples of faith, love, and dedication. I am so very grateful!
We were able to find people to teach this week which was such a miracle. We also were able to set baptismal dates with a couple of them! Ana is from El Salvador and her son was a member of the church and served a mission before he passed away. I definitely thing he is on the other side helping us out! That was a really cool miracle.
We also met another member from Mexico who lived in provo for a bit but stopped coming to church when he moved here. We were trying to find someone that lived in his house but met him instead so that was cool! Hopefully we can get him back to church!
I made cookies this week and we decided to use them in our finding to spread some christmas cheer. The sisters in the other ward even helped with a pun.. "Feeling CRUMBY? Let us CHIP in" hahaha.
Yesterday we felt inspired to go to this specific area because we had some time to do finding before supper. The first door we knocked on this guy answered and was very excited to see us. At first I thought that he probably was expecting someone else so he would tell us to leave but he didnt! He welcomed us in and said that he used to live in SLC and had friends who were members. His girlfriend was also there and they gave us some spring rolls! They were not interested in meeting with us or learning about the church but it was still such a tender mercy!
Did everyone hear the news that they are allowing sisters to wear pants now?? That might make it a bit warmer haha!
This week I hit my 18 month mark so that was exciting!! I cant even believe it has been that long. It just feels like a dream!
I hope you all have such a wonderful Christmas. I am so grateful to be a missionary at such a special time of year. I love the Light the World video for this week.
"Wise men followed Him. Fisherman followed Him. Multitudes followed Him. The blind, the sick, the sinner, the sorrowful followed Him. With every step their faith grew brighter. As you follow Him, His light will light your faith."
Such a very simple, yet perfect message. As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas season I think there is no better way than to strive to become like Him. I know this is exactly what He would want. And not just this time of year but ALL year round!!! I am so grateful for all of you and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!
Hopefully it's not too long haha Tell everyone I love them!!
Love, Sister Godderidge
