Merry Christmas everyone! ๐ and congratulations to Catriona Gray for winning the Miss Universe! HAHAHA... Can't believe this year is almost over! I have so much things to be grateful for and one of those is the opportunity to be here in my mission ๐ ... This will be a short email again, sorry ๐
Updates/Highlights from last week:
Videos/Pictures: We hiked Victoria Peak and it was a good hike!
During our District Council last week, my companion (Sister Allen) gave a training about a successful missionary (in PMG) and I would like to quote what she said: "Be a missionary for Heavenly Father, not a missionary for President Phillips, or our parents, or our ward."
Our recent convert is in Turkey right now for Christmas holidays haha wow! But then when he comes back, we will start his ABLs (After-baptism-lessons) ๐

We also met a member referral last week named "Sis. J". Her situation is very sad though ๐ she has this very serious illness and she's asking us what's her purpose in life but then we bore our testimonies that God loves her so much and He has a plan for us. We also taught her about prayer and an overview of Plan of Salvation. After hearing our message, she said that she got this peaceful feeling and wants to meet with us again! ๐ I testify that it is the Holy Ghost who gave her this peaceful feeling and who's testifying that our message is true.
We were also inspired to call a member and asked her if we can visit her next week but she said "no, come now, you can visit me". Hahaha, and so we visited her and she thanked us for following the promptings of the Spirit because that time she feels kinda lonesome... On that same day, we visited the "Y." Family and they had us for dinner. We challenged them to share their testimony in social media using "Because of Him..." and #LightTheWorld
Pictures: Visiting our friends!
Yesterday was a special sacrament meeting. We were expecting 5 people/new friends to come with us to church but they all fonged ("no show") us hahaha but no worries, we're used to being fonged anyways haha. ๐ But yeah, sacrament meeting was good yesterday! The speakers mainly focused on Christ's birth and why do we celebrate Christmas ๐ ... I know that because of Christ, we all have the opportunity to be back in Heavenly Father's presence someday.

"Desire is important in this season of gift giving, when we are particularly mindful of the desires of those whom we love. During this season, I invite you to consider your own desires. What are your deepest desires? What do you really want to experience and accomplish in this life? Do you really want to become more and more like Jesus Christ? Do you really want to live with Heavenly Father and with your family forever and live as He lives?"
May we always remember the four unique gifts that the Savior gave us ๐
Church is true! God loves you! Merry Christmas everyone! Love and miss you all!
Your Sister in Christ,
