This had been a crazy week!! It snowed one day in the morning, a lot! So we had to go and and shovel the snow off of our car. So we decided to do a couple more cars while we were at it! So we did and we left pass along cards with our numbers on it, and a little message!! I love doing service. I don't know why, but it's the best! But we went back that night and the cars were there and hadn't moved and all the snow had melted away! So we did all that work for nothing, but we left the pass a long card in the cars! So hopefully something comes out of that!
We had Zone Conference this week. It was amazing! I love hearing from President and Sister Anderson!! They're amazing. It was great to feel of the Christmas spirit there. We did a white elephant gift and i got toilet paper. so that was nice! haha I just enjoyed learning more and getting that personal revelation for myself and for our investigators!!
Also last night the community choir put on a big musical thing about Christ in Franklin. So we got a ride with sister Abernathy, Her husband is in the stake presidency and she went on a mission as well. But she talks like no other! The musical was long and i'm not really into that type of stuff.. but it was fun to experience! We were so late on curfew! haha we got home at like 11:15! but president said it was okay!
Then on Sunday i had to give a talk in sacrament! It was great. I really did enjoy talking. Bishop asked me to talk on How being a missionary had changed your view on Christmas, and How Christmas will be different as a missionary. I just talked about how my short time on my mission i have gotten so close to Christ and Heavenly Father and gave a couple of stuff out of the Ensign. Elder Holland gave a great talk a couple years ago on his first Christmas away from home and it's EXACTLY my life. So i shared some of that. Bishop was inspired for sure.
I just love the Christmas season and the spirit it brings along with it!! It makes me so happy. I love learning about Christ's life and all he did for us. My testimony had grown SO much. I am so blessed out here. Thanks everyone for the Christmas letters and prayers. I love this work:) Merry Christmas!!
Love, Sister Gates:)
