Hello again family and friends... and HAPPY DECEMBER!!!! The missionaries in my apartment are excited for Christmas and we have been blasting x-mas music all week. This week was a crazy one. We moved into our new apartment and we now are living a very luxurious life as missionaries! We had to go out and buy all the necessities for our apartment because Elder Peck was off for the week. Now we are all out of money...Praying that our refund will come soon!!!
It's getting harder to send updates cause life here in India is just so normal now. Missionary work is my life and I love it. Me and Elder Nelli are just visiting members, painting their homes and trying to build relationships with everyone in the home group! The sisters are helping us teach the investigators we all have and they are doing an amazing job! I feel so blessed to be building friendships with the members, sisters, Elder Nelli and my Savior Jesus Christ! We are just having amazing experiences and I just want to share one. Me and Elder Nelli were on the metro last night and we were talking about our day not paying attention to where we were. All of a sudden a man said "Hey where are you trying to go" We said to Dwarka sector 12... where the church is. He said you have to get off here and switch lines. If he had not said anything to us we would have been late to church and missed the sacrament! This was a very small thing, but it shows that the Lord is watching out for us and he will make sure that we are taken care of and blessed. Another great experience was getting the chance to do some service and clear a huge field to make a park for all of these homeless kids. Their parents did not want them playing in the street and so we asked how we could help. They asked us to make a park and we said of course we would love to:) We spent 6 hours clearing and cleaning the park and then we fed all of the kids after! It felt so amazing to serve and to start off the December month like that! The rest of the week was just full of missionary work and teaching! I love it here in India and couldn't think of a better place to be during Christmas! I love serving and love using the gospel to bless peoples lives. I hope you have an amazing week! I love all of you!!
Spiritual message:
Light the world link: https://www.mormon.org/christmas
Well my spiritual message is gonna be short today! We all know what time of year it is... December, and for me before my mission that meant new clothes, new shoes, gifts, and the new version of Fifa or NBA. Sadly, it had no real meaning. Oh has that changed since being on a mission and being a part of the Light the World activities and lessons that we are doing here in The Delhi Mission. Christmas time is ALL about our Savior Jesus Christ! That is what it will always be about and that is what it should always be about. The gifts don't matter to me anymore. What matters to me is centering my thoughts on my Savior, believing as he did, loving as he loved, and doing as he did! As we remember all he did and the sacrifice he made for us our thoughts will be centered on him and how we can serve others as he did. Instead of blabbering on about what you already know I am going to copy the link to the light the world page on LDS.org!! I challenge you all to do something each week for others and to lose yourselves in service! That is what the Savior would do and that is what we should do! The church is true and Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer!! He lives!!!! Im so grateful for him and all he does and continues to do for me and for you!!
