I am so excited
for Christmas! I really miss the snow and it doesn't look like Christmas here,
but one of my favourite songs to sing along the streets in Bang Na, Bangkok is
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" or "Walking in a
winter wonderland". I am also taking the wonderful opportunity and talking
to people about Christmas! They usually don't respond as enthusiastically as me
because seeing as Thailand is mostly Buddhist and don't do anything for
Christmas and like songkran better (holiday in April -it's like a big water
fight. Google it) but Christmas is the best!! Christmas means so much more to
me now that I am teaching people about it and it's true meaning.
We had Zone
Conference last Friday and we had a turkey dinner and had cookies and milk and
watched a movie and then had training and Sister Johnson did Christmas games
with us and Christmas caroling. She gave a talk about the little drummer boy. I
feel like him. I am just a little missionary and have so little to give Christ.
But the little drummer boy asks if he can play his drum for the baby Jesus
because that is all he can give. He plays his very best, and he maybe messed up
a few times, but then Jesus smiled at him. So like the drummer boy I want to
try my very best, and even if I mess up (when I mess up) he will still smile at
me. This is something that I am slowly learning on my mission. I feel like
there is nothing more that I want than to have Jesus Christ smile at me. Read
Enos' last words.
A common theme
this week has been teaching the commandments to investigators. The commandments
are given to BLESS US. This is something that is very hard to get across. I
know and have a testimony that if he keep the commandments, we are following
Jesus Christ. I love you all! Love,
