I can not believe that it is Christmas already! I can just picture everyone running around wrapping presents and trying to finish up the last little things!! Then it's time to open our one present from the family and listen to the Luke's account of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. I think this is my favorite part. Growing up I don't think that I quite grasped the true meaning of Christmas. There was a talk that I was reading by Robert D. Hales the other day, and he said, in order to understand the true meaning of Christmas we need to understand the Atonement. Our Savior Jesus Christ lived and died for us. If He didn't do that for us then we would have nothing. The Atonement is everything. Jesus Christ is the center of God's perfect plan. He came to the earth in the form of a servant, He was born in probably one of the most humble places I can think of, a animal stable. He is the most perfect being that has and ever will set food on this earth. He lived a perfect sinless life so that we can look to Him as an example of how we should live. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ we are made whole and clean. Though our sins be as scarlet they can be white as snow. :) I love that promise. I love my Savior. Everyday I grow to know and love Him more. He is my rock. My best friend.
This week has flown by! (I think I say that every week). Tomorrow is Christmas and I get to Skype my beautiful family!! I am so happy and excited! My Skype name is shea.mccartt so daddy and mom add me! I will be skyping Devynn first for 10 minutes and then you're next!! So that will be around 1215 pm your time when I will talk to you!! I can't wait!
I love this work! I feel so blessed to be a missionary right now when the work is truly hastening! The Lord is preparing His sheep. And we are finding the Lost sheep. We had a woman come to church this past Sunday that everyone said wouldn't come. We went to her house and invited her and then she came! I knew that she would :) Words can not describe how happy I get when I see Heavenly Father's children doing what they need to do! It is the best!
We have been baking cookies and writing cards for all of the less actives and members in our branch and last night we delivered a card and caroled to a less-active family who happened to not be living there anymore! In other words we found this perfect little family whom we are going to start teaching! She was so happy that we caroled at her door and I know that God us go there and do that because He knew that was how we were going to be able to get into their hearts. Heavenly father is aware of us all and is in every detail of our lives :) Look for those miracles!
We had the chance to sing at the Boys and Girls club this past week! It was so much fun and the little girls loved us! And I think "Las Hermana" are going to be in the newspaper! Talk about good advertising ;) hehe
I love all of you and I just think my family is the best!!!
Until next week!!
Orrr Tomorrow!!! 8D :]
