Dec. 15

What a good week this has been! 

Everyday my heart fills with more and more gratitude for a loving and personal Saviour who wants nothing more than for me to return home. Each day is a day of decision. And that includes the decision to believe in Him, to follow Him, and to be obedient to His commandments. We all have the choice. And we all have a feeling as to what is right. But it's up to us to actually decide. The Atonement of Jesus Christ enables each one of us to repent and to forgive, to find peace knowing that we can stand confidently before the presence of God. 
Andie is progressing towards the 28th! 
Sister Hancock and I sang in church yesterday and she stood on the little kids stool because she is so short. Everyone loved that. And I love Sister Hancock. She's a hoot! 
We accidentally got roped in to joining the ward choir.
I went on exchanges to the Spanish ward and loved it! I met the most wonderful people and felt such a powerful spirit! Sister Adair is fabulous. 
I also went on exchanges with Sister Caisey. She is also wonderful. We beatboxed and laughed a lot. She is so cute. I love being reunited with my former Grand Junctionites.
Lastly I went on exchanges with Sister Harper from none other than.... BUTTE MONTANA. She is a giant (6'1) in the best way. We had a grand old time and tracted into a 80 year old woman named Faye who wants to learn about the gospel! 
We volunteered at the Santa Shop. I did the exact same thing last year! Over 4000 kids will have a Christmas because of this event. It was so much fun! I love the spirit of giving! 
I am so blessed to be on a mission at this time of year. To see all the people around me and know that each one will have the opportunity to live with their Father in Heaven again. And that each good thing I do know will influence them for the better to choose to return. 
I hope you each take the time this week to ponder the meaning of Christmas. What has Christ done for you in your lives? How will you show your love back to Him? And how can you share that love with other people? 
I love you all! Have a great week!

Love,

Sista T
