What a week!!! Starting off with the best Christmas Morning!! Jean was baptized! I had the opportunity to baptize her. It was such a cool experience, she was so prepared and her testimony is soo strong. I am so grateful for her and the chance to help her learn about the church. It was definitely an experience I will never forget.
Having Christmas on a mission is definitely a different, but it really helped me to focus on what is more important. Although presents and Santa are fun, the real reason we celebrate Christmas is to celebrate the birth of the most important man to ever live on Earth. Jesus Christ lived a perfect, humble, and selfless life, and died for all of our sins. It is the best gift that we could ever ask for and it is free, as long as we have faith in Him and show our love, as best we can. He knows we are not perfect and that is why He did this. So we can repent and become better people!
We had a wonderful dinner at a members home for Christmas and they so kindly let us call home! But, Still didn't feel like we had Christmas here! Its 80° and the Taiwanese do not celebrate it! I am so grateful for this opportunity to serve and do the Lord's work!!!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a great New Year!! Love you all!!
