First of all. I have THE most beautiful family in all of the WORLD.
Second of all. I have 600 pictures to send and not even a little bit of enough time to do so. LO SIENTO! But you can also go to Hna Durfee's facebook (I think) and her dad should have or will put some more up! And read her email :)
Third of all, everyone PLEASE go look up and read or listen to these 3 talks, they will CHANGE your LIFE. I am serious.
1. Safety for the Soul
2. Remember Lots Wife
(both by Holland)
3. Profile of a Prophet by Hugh B. Brown.
INCREDIBLE.
Fourth of all. I am going to stop counting.
Christmas was beautiful and wonderful and happy and perfect. REALLY you can't be sad when you are serving others. We were able to see the light and happiness in the eyes of so many people here as we gave them clothes and toys donated or bought by ward members and a few investigators too!! It was SO fun. I literally cannot explain how much I loved this Christmas!!! And Christmas eve was spent in San Ramon with Hermana Durfee so don't worry, it was fun. ;) We made Christmas music videos, ate candy, sang and talked about family traditions!!!
In the morning our whole zone got together and it was just so JOYFUL!!! We read Luke 2 and talked about how we can be the shepherds and hear the good news and share it with ALL!!! And we can be the angels who cannot stop rejoicing for the knowledge that we have about our Savior Jesus Christ!
And of course, talking to the family was perfect. I loved to see and hear you ALL. I only missed Rachel :( One of the things I was most grateful for was not feeling homesick or sad. Being with my second family and with these missionaries who I love so much. God gave me the strength to truly be HAPPY and at peace, and not miss gifts or family or anything. Really, it was a miracle.
annnnndddddd nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
NEW YEAR!!!! I hope you all are making practical, awesome metas for new year! Also listen to remember Lot's wife!! It has to do with this!! This is parts of the talk that I loved. Remember not to have fear for the future. Because God ALWAYS has something better planned for those who love him and keep His commandments.
"Remember that FAITH is ALWAYS pointed toward the future... Faith is FOR the future. Faith builds on the past but NEVER longs to stay there."
I love you all!!! Cannot wait to hear about your Christmases and New Years!
Idk if you can actually say Christmases though...
Love,
Hermana Whitlock
