Part 2: Week 15--Winter Wonderland

Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas.

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.
