One night we had a bus that took our zone Christmas Caroling.......its just a GREAT part
of the Season
Holy cow another week is gone! How does that keep happening?! This week was amazing. I've never felt so much love and the Spirit of Christ and Christmas so strongly. We were able to serve others and so many people Blessed our lives.
This is the Stake President in our mission. He is one of the most spiritual men I know. I am Learning so much from him and his amazing wife. (please notice our daughter is barefoot even in Montana...tee hee~ she said every chance she gets.)
Real quick I just want to share a little miracle...About a month ago,
Sister Rasmussen and I had to give a training at zone conference about
the Spirit and how to receive revelation. I can definitely tell
you that once again, I think I learned WAY more than anyone else but
one of the things we talked about is how with revelation, it
doesn't always come all at once, a
huge outpouring of the Spirit and a
voice that says "GO HERE".
There's a scripture in doctrine and
covenants 42:61 that says "If thou shalt
ask, thou shalt receive revelation
upon revelation, knowledge upon knowledge, that thou mayest know
the mysteries and peaceable things--that which bringeth joy,
that which bringeth life eternal"
Well we had a little time so we
thought we would go by a house that we had a referral
to!
It was FREEZING cold and a little snowy and guess what. Literally NO ONE WAS HOME. We were just a little confused as to why we
felt good about this area. We were sure we're
there for a reason…. We started walking to the next
street and we saw this one guy walking a
little ways away... a cigarette in one hand and a 6 pack of beer
in the next. He looked really down. So naturally we
had to talk to him! I ran up and got his attention and we struck up
a conversation.He had lost his Grandmother and his other was in the hospital…he
had a lot of questions and his heart hurt ....we were able to show him the
video "a Savior is born" and testify of the joy, comforts
and peace that is possible because of Him. He said to us "I've just been feeling so
lost lately but I feel like God is leading my back to Him and that's why I met
you two today".
It was just such a cool experience
to see first hand, "revelation upon Revelation.”
It's a beautiful thing to help our
brothers and sisters recognize and come to know for
themselves that our Heavenly Father knows them and loves them.
I love you all and hope you had a
Merry Christmas!! Work hard, pray always and love much!!
