we're apart thats true
but I can dream & in my dreams
Im christmas-ing with you
Holidays are joyful
Theres always something new
but everydays a holiday
When Im near to you
Okay okay enough of that! Merry Christmas! one & all! :) Transfers were this week & I have a new comp! New comp, same area. Her name is Sister S from Conneticut! I GOT AN AMERICAN FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!
*fist pump* YES! haha
so much happened this week honestly dont know where to begin. Maybe at the Christmas conference with Pres & Sis G. It was AMAZING! Sis G prepared a banquet for us with our own lil stockings and Pres G gave a talk that literally changed my perspective on missionary work! It was fantastic!
Even better, we get to have dinner with them Christmas Eve :) Okay, can I just say Heavenly Father has spoiled me rotten this transfer? Dont know what I did to deserve it!
Me & Sis S have been workin super hard too. Remember Osvaldo? We marked his baptism yesterday for Christmas Eve too :) Pray SUPER hard he feels ready. He has a testimony of Joseph Smith & the Book of Mormon but he keeps saying his faith is weak & he needs more time. But I know for a fact that his wife is waiting for him to do her work on the other side of the veil.
My only Christmas present I want is to baptize this amazing man! Pray it happens, guys!!! Seriously!
Anyway, other than that this week has been pretty fantastic. Me & Sis S sang in Sacrament yesterday & we had a pretty funny story that happened to us.
We were "knocking" at doors yesterday & came across a woman sitting in her front porch so we said (in portuguese obviously)
"Hi! Were missionaries & we have a special message for you!"
.......
*blank stare*
"What?"
"Were missionaries from the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints and--"
"Im tired..."
"Oh okay, another day can we stop by and--?"
she starts walking towards the door & closes the door without another word.
me & Sis S could not stop laughing the rest of the day! oh the people you find here in Londrina.... definitely the highlight of our week.
Anyway, I hope yall have gotten my letters & I hope in the hustle & bustle of this amazing time of year yall remember the true meaning of Christmas. Remember to "look for Christ outside of tinsel and Christmas lights & remember Christmas like the kingdom of God is within you"
Ive just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas darlings!!
