What a wonderful time of the year! We had an amazing time this week! We were busy! Family Home Evenings with gingerbread men, less active visits and caroling, amazing lessons with wonderful investigators and members, and a whole lot of laughing! One of the cutest members in our ward Sis. Benson, she is this adorable older woman and we were able to do some service for her, she adopted us as her grandchildren and we loved it! We were able to meet lots of new people this week which I just love! Even the drunk irish Catholic priest :) The people of Texas are so wonderful and even better during this beautiful time of the year! Being a missionary at Christmas time is so amazing! People's hearts are softened and are already focused on Christ the reason for it all! We have one investigator who even after a week of no contact due to a new phone has read the entire first book of Nephi and he loves it! Marco is also doing so well! He is reading and continuing to give the most wonderful prayers, he is so sincere! One of our ward missionaries was able to come with us to our lessons with him this week and now he has a new friend in the ward! Robert is getting closer and closer to finally overcoming the horrible trap of cigarettes! And wonderful news is that Sandra from the beginning of my mission has chosen to be baptized again and she wants her daughter to as well! Such great blessings! Things are just progressing and it is so great! On top of it all i found out I get to stay here for another transfer! woo hoo! im really excited! I truly just love this area! I hope that all is going well where you are! Enjoy the snow, i'll enjoy the rain and remember just how amazing the true meaning of Christmas is. Yes presents are wonderful, and even better the blessing of Christ's birth, but most importantly is the life and gift of our Savior's adult life, what he did for us! (Alma 7:10-13) We are truly so blessed to have the knowledge we do of our Savior and to have access to the blessings that come from his beautiful example! I hope each of you have the opportunity to reflect on and appreciate our Redeemer and His amazing grace as well as take advantage of this Christmas season to give of yourselves for someone else! Christ has given us this amazing gift and all he asks for is us to give Him our hearts. What a wonderful time of year!! enjoy it! I love you all! and Merry Christmas!!!
With love..
Sister Camarella!!!
