December 27th...

So this Christmas was definitely full of suprises and just way fun. I saw miracles, I played ping pong with a 69 year old man, and we pushed several cars out of snow. I got to share Christmas joy and give people cookies that we baked, and I even went caroling. Our little companionship totally felt like sister missionaries because we wrapped cookies up all nice and attached pictures of Christ. Totally a sister thing. haha. And of course I had a blast talking with my family. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas as well. I love you all and hope you have a Happy New Year. If you guys are into making new years resolutions may I suggest making a missionary goal for the year? We are all missionaries with our without name tags. So go out there and spread the Gospel and make it a great new year! I have enclosed some miracles for you all. Nothing huge, but huge for me.

Miracle 1.
This transfer we have been trying to visit a less active family. My companion had also been trying in previous transfers but with no success. Every time we knock they ignore our visits even when we hear the TV playing. So Christmas day we decided to go by a try again. We knocked on the door and waited not really expecting much to happen. Then we heard the handle move and found ourselves face to face with a toddler whose eyes were huge from all the Christmas excitement. We said hello then came face to face with the father whose eyes were huge because missionaries were standing in his doorway. He was polite and let us in. We were able to share a little thought about Christ, pray with them, sing to them, and leave a Christmas treat. Definitely a miracle.

Miracle 2.
We were harvesting a few weeks ago and talked to a nice old lady that wasn't interested. We asked her if she knew of anybody that would be interested and she said maybe her neighbor. She mentioned that his wife had just passed away and he was all alone. So we knocked on his door, he answered, growled at us, and shut the door. So it wasn't the warmest welcome. But for whatever reason we remembered this man and put him on our list of people to visit for Christmas. We went back Christmas day with smiles on our face and Santa hats our our head. He answered the door, we said Merry Christmas and gave him a picture of Christ and some homemade cookies. He smiled, said Merry Christmas, and shut the door. Although it was small, it was still another Christmas miracle.

Armastusega,
