Week #48 - 'Twas the week before Christmas

 Monday, December 21, 2020

This was another amazing week! The week before CHRISTMAS!! We are so pumped for Christmas down here in Yuma. Especially since it's not cold hahaha. I can wear a short sleeve shirt and still be fine! But the biggest blessing is that me and my companions are staying together! HOORAH! Here are some of the fun things that happened this week...

So... we've been trying to use Facebook more with proselyte and it's kind hard honestly. But my companion, Sister Martin, posted on a page about favorite Christmas treats! She ended up having soooo many people respond back to it. And then this Tuesday we got invited over to a lady's house and she taught us how to make toffee! SO FUN! She isn't a member, but told us her experience of how she came to know Christ in her life. She has such a crazy life, but loves God. We are hoping to go over more! 

This week we also started teaching our friend named Nathan! He is super cool. He random texted us asking how we were doing a couple weeks ago, and now he is wanting to learn more! He came to a service project, to church, and is coming to our YSA Christmas party tonight!! He is awesome! We also have Edwin we are teaching and he is praying about a date to be baptized... so pray for Edwin! 

On the 18th we had a Christmas day! It was fun. We had a devotional in the morning, a fun service project with the zone, a fun potluck dinner (we made a ham) and we played games and had another devotional that night. It was soooo much fun! 

Here's the biggest miracle from the week....

So we've been praying for Mark to be baptized! He has some stuff to overcome, so we've been inviting all our members to pray for him, our families, the mission. And soooo many people have been praying for him. We found out that there is a BIG possibility that Mark could enter the waters of baptism this week.... YAYAYAY! So whenever you pray, remember Mark! Pray for him to see this miracle and amazing Christmas present! 

Christmas is so fun and always brings so much happiness. I love this time of the year! Remember your Savior this week and the sacrifice He made for each of us!
