This week has been full of Christmas cheer! And with some more yet to come!
This
Friday we had our Branch Christmas party, and it was great!!
Lots of
less actives and investigators came, yay! My companion and I showed some
Christmas videos too and we talked about the true meaning of Christmas.
It was wonderful. We really could feel the spirit of Christmas and how
it can change our lives.
Also, about 5 minutes before sacrament meeting
started yesterday, the branch president asked my companion and I to give
talks!! Talk about last minute! The other speakers didn't show up so
thats why he asked us. Well, good thing that missionaries are always
"prepared"...haha. He didn't give us a specific topic, but he told us to
talk about what we felt that the branch needed. So my companion Elder
Dominguez talked about Charity(and did a wonderful job). And I talked
about the Atonement. It all went great.
Then, we also had
another devotional last night in Chetumal. Were we sang, and bore
tesimony and many wonderful things! And after the devotional we went
Christmas caroling! It was great. I loved seeing the looks on the
peoples faces as we sang to them. The spirit was felt indeed!
I think we might spend Christmas Eve with our branch president and his
family. For Christmas here, its a crazy party!! Pinatas, candy, lots of
food. Its great!
Well,
I look forward to seeing my family this week. I hope everyone has a
safe Christmas week! And don't forget the true meaning of Christmas!!
CHRIST!!
Lots of love,
Elder Strate
