It's starting to look a lot like Christmas! I'm hot and sweaty
all the time. But there are so many cute decorations and lights everywhere that
I am really feeling the Pasko spirit! It's a tradition here that if you go
caroling at somebody's house they give you money or a little something so there
are groups of kids running around and caroling allll the time. It's so so
cute!!
Pakil is doing pretty good!! Sister Cornaby and I are basically
reopening again because none of our investigators are progressing:( but we have
seen so many miracles as we have been finding and talking to anybody and
everybody. There have been some really discouraging days when we feel kind of
useless and like nobody cares about our message but we just keep working hard
and miracles always happen. The other night we were trying to find some former
investigators and it was almost time to go home and we were tired and
discouraged because like none of our lessons went through that day and we had
walked sooo much. But we asked this guy if he knew the person we were looking
for and it was him! It was so funny his face was like who the heck are you and
why are you looking for me haha but he ended up being so, so nice and he came
to church!!! Missionaries taught him a while ago but now he seems so open to
our message. We have such a good feeling about him. So please pray for Brother
R!
We had the opportunity to watch the Christmas Devotional last
night! It was so so good!! If you haven't watched it, go to lds.org right
now and watch it. I loved Sister Burton's talk about the Plan of Salvation. It
truly is a plan of happiness. I am so thankful for the Christmas Season and the
time we have to think more about our Savior. Because of Him, we will all live
again. Because of Him, we can all have happiness and peace!! Take advantage of
this Christmas Season to get to know your Savior, Jesus Christ. I love this
gospel so so much. I love the Book of Mormon. I love all of you and I hope you
have a great week!! Merry Pasko!
Love,
Sister Giles
