Wow, what a week. We had a wonderful Christmas here, got to spend it with some absolutely wonderful families, and were very blessed. We got to Skype our families too!!! That was really cool to see them. It was wonderful watching the other 3 missionaries in our ward have such a good time talking to their families as well. I may have accidentally said hi to all of their families by pushing my face in the screen... yep, they loved it. Haha it was a wonderful day. Something even better than Christmas for missionaries was Barbara's baptism!!!! It was very spiritual, and just like Bob's baptism there were a lot of members there. Bob was there too. :D haha Barbara was just glowing the entire time, and after her confirmation on Sunday, she was sitting a row in front of us with some members, and she looked so at peace and comfortable, it felt like she had a been a member for years. Haha it's just so wonderful to see the joy in people's faces as they come closer to Christ. There truly is nothing like it. And now her 10 year old grandson is committed to be baptized in a month! So much joy for that family, really happy for them.
It is the end of the year, and so is this the last e-mail of the year 2014. It has been an absolutely wonderful year, undoubtedly and incomparably the best year of my life. The most I've ever grown, the most memorable experiences I've ever had, the most joy I've ever felt. I cannot adequately explain what this year has been for me. I'm so grateful God has been able to change me so much, and I'm so glad I have almost a whole year to keep on changing and growing. I give my thanks to all those who helped me get to this point, and to all those who support and give help to missionary work. As well as all the missionaries in the world right now! You all rock! :D
Happy New Year everyone!!! Don't let this one go to waste. Remember the good times, and forget the bad, that's my new motto. Its pretty helpful. :D I love you all! Thanks again for all that you do!!
