At Zone Conference this week I gave my departing testimony. Aka it is not a joke that I am going home soon.
This week we went to the temple with Vinnie! We called up some other YSA (Young Single Adults... It's the program our church has for college aged young adults) and we all took a little temple trip. Such a cool experience. Vinnie had found a family name to take which made it even more special. #familysearch
Yesterday was our Special Christmas Service. While we didn't have a ton of friends come, one miracle was that Gabriel (the cute little 13-year-old that was baptized last Saturday) got to pass the sacrament for the first time!!! He was so nervous but he did so great and it was so sweet to see him in his new white shirt and tie!
We had an amazing lesson with the Canady family. Danielle is so cute she wanted to know what her next step would be since she is already baptized. So we talked about temples and how to help her prepare to go!! We watch the Rome Italy Temple tour (10/10 recommend. Link below). After the video, and answering some additional questions about temples, Randy asked "So how does someone know if they are ready to be baptized?" WOW RANDY QUESTION OF THE YEAR!!!! We explained to him that if he asks God, He will answer that question for him through the Holy Ghost. So Randy will be praying to know if he is ready to be baptized. We know the answer is yes because the Spirit has told us, but we want him to receive that answer for himself.
Jayduse and Lee were in San Jose this week sooooo about Wednesday we had a lesson over video chat (wow super blessed with technology) and it was so fun. They did so good and were so so focused!!! Till we had said the closing prayer and were saying bye. That is when the picture below happened. hahahahaha I love them!!! When they finally got back yesterday, we stopped by and had another lesson in person. We talked about obedience and some of the commandments and they are so precious. I either don't want them to go back to New Zealand or I want to go back with them because a. they are ADORABLE and b. they are really really good kids they just need good influences in their lives!
I am grateful for all the blessings that my Heavenly Father has given me. But most of all I am grateful that he gave his His Only Begotten Son (John 3:16-17), Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins, and pave the path for us to return and live with Them again one day.
Les quiero. Feliz Navidad!!!
Cuidense mucho,
Hermana Brown
