MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
This is a great time of year isn't it? I love Christmas, I must be my grandmothers granddaughter :)
This week we have an amazing blessing to be able to have a baptism right after Christmas, we are so excited to be able to bring this Christmas present to the Lord!
This is a time of year that we all get to reflect and look towards the future, we are able to remember our savior Jesus Christ. It truly is Joy to the World that he came for each of us- joy that I want everyone to know and feel!
This week we spent a lot of time finding new people to teach, we haven't had a ton of success but we are working as hard as we can. I have an amazing companion who is such a hard worker and loves being a missionary! We are becoming better friends, which is making the work a lot easier!

I know that the lord knows me so well and has put me into this little branch so that I can learn and grow and become exactly the person he wants me to be. I am learning how to love some, not so lovable people and I am learning to be patient and control only what I can.
This last week I went on exchanges with Sister Sullivan, the one sister I have served around the longest. It was good to be with her and learn a lot about being diligent from her. She is a very hard worker and knows how to be a great missionary, we came out about the same time and it is really cool being with her because we both know now how to be missionaries... it is cool to be able to see the people grow and change around me. Progression, change, the atonement in action!
This coming week is going to a amazing and I know it will fly by so fast! Next week is already transfers and I have no idea what is going to happen! Next week my trainer- sister markowitz will be going home. I feel like it is the end of a crazy era with her leaving, she is a great missionary and will be missed in the GAM!
The time on the mission is flying by so fast... I can't believe it is Christmas and I GET TO TALK TO MY FAMILY!!!! I am so excited! I remember when I called home from the airport and pa jokingly said that he would talk to me next week at Christmas and now it is this week!!!
Thank you to everyone for the packages and Christmas greeting :) it has been so fun to get things in the mail and they always brighten my day!
I am kind of sad that I only get one Christmas season as a missionary... maybe I will stay a little longer next year so I can experience two!!!!
(I can just imagine grandma's reaction after reading that!!! "NO!!!!!!!!!" and then she will pretend to cry :) and now she will think of all the ways to convince me to come home when I am supposed too)
I don't think they will let me stay any longer than I am supposed too.... But it was a good thought :)
Well my dearly beloved! I LOVE YOU
Talk to ya'll soon!
love,
Em
