True meaning!

What a great week in Cincinnati! The weather here has been crazy. It was about 65 for a couple days and now it is about 32. I never know what to expect here in Ohio. We had a super good week. We are teaching a guy from India he is awesome! He has come to church 2 times now and he really enjoyed the Christmas program we had on Sunday. We also had a miracle! It was Saturday night and we were out Christmas caroling (which is very effective, everyone here loves it, seriously though) and we knocked on one door and we sang to her. She is from Florida and she recently moved in, we invited her out to church and she came!!! It was awesome. We will be stopping by soon to see how she is doing! I am so happy to be here in Cincinnati at this time and I love serving the Lord during this Christmas season, it is such a blessing! Being on a mission has really helped me see the true meaning of Christmas. Its not only to celebrate the birth of Christ but also his life. His perfect life! He is the way back to our Father in Heaven. He is our Savior and Redeemer, through Him we can become clean of our sins.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Snow !

This week was awesome! We started the week off with a snowball fight last p-day! A lot of the missionaries are from California so it was new for them, but it was a ton of fun! This week we were walking around our apartment complex and we talked to a man from India! He invited us in and we invited him to church and he came yesterday, it was awesome. He is a very funny guy! He was so fascinated in the fact that we could move the pulpit up and down, he loved it ha ha. We met with the family from Congo and we are still teaching them, I love them, they are the coolest family. The spirit of Christmas is in the air. Our trio companionship sings all the time, we have so much fun together! I love serving a mission especially around this time of year, its such a great experience! We have our mission Christmas get together on Tuesday and I am excited for that. The work is moving forward and the Lord is blessing us with so many miracles everyday!

Snowball fight!

Christmas Caroling!

I had another great week here in Montgomery Ohio! We had a pretty crazy storm this week and we got quite a bit of snow. Actually it wasn't that much but for the people in Cincinnati it is a lot. It snowed like 4 inches or so, it was awesome. We only had sacrament meeting yesterday, the other classes got cancelled. Yesterday was really fun, we went Christmas caroling to a couple of the members of the ward. We also had the ward Christmas party on Saturday and the family we have been teaching was able to make it! They had a great time. We are teaching Racheal, Ngula, and we call her Momma. They are from the Congo. They are the sweetest people on earth and I am excited to teach them this week. We are actually going over today to help them paint. I am doing great and having a lot of fun. Miracles are happening everyday and I get to be apart of this great work, it truly is amazing. The Lord is blessing us in so many ways! Thanks for all the prayers and all the support. Love you all!

Montgomery!

Sorry I don't have much time today. I am now serving in Montgomery Ohio. I love it here. I am in a trio with Elder Foster and Elder Moore. We had a great week this week. I got to be a part of Tony's baptism. They have been teaching him for a while and I got to teach him the last couple days before his baptism. It was awesome! He is such a stud and has a super good testimony. We are doing well. Thanksgiving was awesome, I ate a ton! The Lord is blessing us and I am seeing more and more blessings everyday. Love you all, thanks for all your prayers and all your support!
