December 17 -- Tuesday
We went caroling with the youth in our ward! It was so fun to be with them and to visit all the less actives and members in our ward! Then after we all came back to Sister Graham's house for treats and hot chocolate! It was a fun night!
December 18 -- Wednesday
We had a day full of contacting former's and less actives! It was definitely a slow day. A new family in the ward had a lot of gently used blankets, towels, sheets and boxes of food for us to give to those in the ward who are in need! It was awesome being able to help and bring the true meaning of Christmas to those who are in need this time of year! Christmas is awesome!
December 19 -- Thursday
We love Christmas so much that we went caroling again! This time with our dinner appointment! After dinner, we all piled into the car and drove around to people we are teaching and friends houses! Then afterwards we went out for ice cream! This ward is awesome!
December 20 -- Friday
We had district council like normal! Hermana Young, Hermana Taylor and Hermana Green all gave great training. We talked about the apostasy and how to find investigators effectively. They talked about these things in a way I have never thought about before! After council, the senior couple came to visit and brought us king sized candy bars and trail mix for Christmas!
Later that day we helped out at a ward members house who is moving the second week of January! We are going to miss them so much! We have loved going to their house and spending time with their family! We helped them clean and get the house ready to sell!
December 21 -- Saturday
We had a Mission Christmas Party! Everyone in the South got together and watched the movie the fight preacher and played games and had a white elephant gift exchange! It was fun being able to see friends that had gotten transferred and be able to talk with them! I also loved that we got to celebrate Christmas! It was super fun!
December 22 -- Sunday
It was an awesome Sunday! We had three come to church! We also sang in the Christmas program! It was a lot of fun! We got a lot of Christmas treats! Our investigators loved the program! I mean any time that the Primary kids sing, it's going to be a good Sunday!
Scripture of the week
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
These Scriptures and many more remind us what Christmas is about. It's about Christ's birth.
Have you ever thought what it would be like if we didn't have a Savior? We would have no happiness. No hope through trials. No peace. No eternal families. No chance to change. No eternal life or resurrection. This life would just be the end of it all. But because we have a Savior, Jesus Christ. He has made all things possible for us. We can have hope in our trials and in the future. We can live with our families again. We have the chance to change and be forgiven of our sins! Jesus Christ is the gift that truly keeps giving! He wants to help us in anyway He can. We just have to reach out and take the first steps back to Him. Wise men still seek Him. I invite you all to Seek Jesus Christ this Christmas! Make every day Christmas by living in harmony with Christ's teaching. True happiness, peace, and joy will come from it!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! I love you all!
Eat and drink all the Christmas foods for me!
Love,
Sister Susanna Tracy
