Brian's baptism!

December 21, 2020

 Hey friends!

This week we baptized our friend Brian!! It was such an amazing experience and my testimony of the work has really strengthened. The progress I've seen in him is amazing. Miracles are real. He has really changed and is continuing to change in favor of our Savior. It has been inspiring to relate Brian to myself. I have plenty to work on and it's cool to try and see people the way Christ sees them. And in no way is this an easy task. We are ALL children of God. I think many people forget that and in this world, it's easy to forget. I have things I need to improve on and so does everyone else. Give yourself some slack and go to work! Haha! Work on yourself, work on the ones around you. As long as you never quit trying, God will bless you and help you get where you wanna be.

Christmas is just around the corner! I absolutely love this time of year. It's definitely a little different being a missionary during the holidays but I still love it. There is a much higher focus on Christ (more than like gifts and stuff) on the mission which I am grateful for. All the missionaries are gonna meet up Christmas day and it's basically gonna be a PDay. We have a white elephant gift exchange planned too which should be fun. Me and Elder Stanger are also going to a couple members homes which I am so happy for! The best way to feel the Christmas spirit is to be with family (whether or not it's your own haha). I'll keep you updated how it goes but Merry Christmas!
