Merry Christmas to all reading this!! If you've made it this far with following my mission, then congrats for you :)
Monday: December 21st
Lots of good gifts given today! We had a great lesson with this lady named Madison, who we're now teaching. She is trying to understand the Bible, and so we've been teaching the Gospel of Christ using scriptures from there. It's so amazing how powerful the scriptures are, and that by studying, pondering, AND applying it we can come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ!
Heck ya. I can make breakfast.
Tuesday: December 22nd
Me and Elder Hawkes gave a training to the whole mission talking about extending the baptismal invitation. It was fun studying all over the place pulling in scripture and PMG references to help missionaries get over their fears and start exercising faith in Jesus Christ! Amy and Bode drove up again, and she hemmed my suit pants for me since I have no flippin clue whatsoever how to sew anything, haha! I'll learn how to do it... hopefully :)
A new suit and scarf :)
Wednesday: December 23rd
It's Christmas Adam you could say haha. Today we got to study the transfer board for this upcoming change, and it was really cool receiving revelation for which missionaries should go where! This upcoming transfer will be a fun one for sure. This'll be the 3rd transfer I'll be with Elder Hawkes, he is absolutely hilarious and the days have flown by! We started teaching someone named Josh from... Facebook! It's so amazing to be able to use social media to help others truly come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ!
Thursday: December 24th
Christmas Eve! Today we made so many cookies... like, ALOT. We drove all around Denver dropping them off to members and people we're teaching. What a great way to spend Christmas Eve! Especially when I get new pajamas haha.
Friday: December 25th
Merry Christmas!! Today did NOT feel like a wintery white Christmas that I'm used to. It was literally 60° outside in Denver... there was barely any snow on the ground! We opened presents from loved ones and family under our tiny little Christmas tree... I got a scarf! I've never worn one in my life so I'm going to have to figure out how to tie this thing, haha. We got together with a couple other missionaries, called the fam, and had a mission wide zoom devotional. Overall it was a good day!
O Tanen Baum, O tanen baum!
Saturday: December 26th
We talked with Jay Johnson, and he said a super powerful prayer, praying for a spark of truth in his life. I know that Heavenly Father answers sincere prayers in His own timing, but that He truly loves each of us! I've come to know this through continual trial and error, and through experiences that teach me of reliance upon Him.
Sunday: December 27th
Today was the last sunday Orchard Ward sacrament meeting in the year 2020! I'm pretty sure everyone just wants 2020 to be over with haha. Well 2021 may not be all that different, we just need to change our mindsets and that is what truly makes each day and year great!
FUNNY STORY:
So in our apartment complex we live on the 4th floor and have this trash chute where we throw all of our trash. Well... since we got so many boxes from Christmas me and Elder Hawkes decided to throw them away, simple right? Well, we may or may not of clogged a 30ft trash chute with all our stuff... haha! Oh my goodness, we were trying to get everything to go down but a box got caught mid way and now everything is clogged. What a way to finish the night, haha! Us goofs.
I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas! Have a Happy New Year and best of luck in whatever you're doing that's good.
Love,
Elder LaRose
