Hey
everyone,
Well even though
yesterday was Monday and I did get to skype the family, president is still
having us email the family today as well,
This past weekend
ended up being super great, all went well and even though it was the hottest
weekend so far it was super calm.
Friday, we had our
mission Christmas party, it was great! tons of fun, we had skits that we did as
well as I had made a video that was shown in it, and we got to listen to the
church Christmas devotional, we had a gift exchange and we also got tons of
letters from people all over the world. thank you to all that participated in
that, really was such a special moment when we were all reading those cards and
we could feel the spirit so strong.
Saturday night we had
the ward Christmas party, and tell you what it was a blast! lots of people their
great stuff was happening and we even had an ice-cream machine,
Sunday night we ate
dinner with a family and opened a few gifts from them, it really amazing at how
much a lot of the members treat the missionaries, some could care less about
them but others such as this family care tons about us as missionaries, they
see the importance not only in the work but as well as in the missionaries,
they see things in us that we really can’t see. I am so great full for people
like them.
Monday, we ended up
having a super great laid-back day, we played some ping pong in the church with
some other elders, and later that day skyped with the family.
Christ being the
perfect example dedicated his life to the will and plan of the father, this Christmas
season the church focused on helping the members dedicate themselves more to
the work and plan of the father, through service, I hope that you all took the
chances to serve as many opportunities as you could. and I hope you keep doing
that! even if it is in just little ways, one story that has helped me do so was
from when I was younger my dad would always look to take a grocery store cart
from someone who was putting the cart away as we were going in, one of those
small acts of service my dad found a credit card in the bottom of the cart and
returned it to the owner, just one of the right place in the right time kind of
things, but he saved that lady from a huge headache of losing something so
important, many time in my sector people and doing such things like loading up
there truck in many situations pushing a car that had broken down off the road.
I invite all of you as
the new year is coming up to make a goal to follow those spiritual promptings
that invite you to serve, and help people in as many ways as you possible can.
in doing so we will all become closer to Christ.
I love you all and
hope you had a very merry Christmas and a super happy new year!
Elder Anderson
