It
has been awesome asking people how they've served in the past month,
and seeing their hearts softened and at peace as they've thought about
the small and simple experiences. Things like helping a niece with a
newborn have a place to stay, helping with a Christmas play for their
church, being a listening ear to those at work who need comfort, smiling
more. We've heard a lot of awesome things that have uplifted the people
sharing the experiences. So many good people in the world who are
lighting the world this Christmas.
One
cool thing (no time to write all of the experiences). We met a woman
waiting outside of a church (she must have had the wrong time ) at
night. We asked her how God has helped her in her life and then shared
the Light the World video. We sat next to her and cared about her. She
was sitting there alone in the cold. After the video, she started crying
and telling us how that question we asked had meant so much to her. She
told us she had left Jesus Christ, but he had never left her. And when
no one else had been there for her, He still was. Ws talked more and it
was really touching. Then we got some christmass Toffee and oranges from
the car trunk and gave it to her. I can not describe what it was like
seeing her there hugging my companion and then hugging me in such
gratitude. The spirit was so strong and the gospel truths and God's love
for her was so real and really meant a lot for her to hear. It was
awesome. We are so blessed to experience this day by day. We also got to
meet many of our cute, or diligent, or sassy, or smiley members at the
Christmas parties (including those who have been needing some extra
love)! I just really enjoy being with all of these awesome good people.
