"Faith and Trusting in the Lord" Dec 16th 2012

this was a weird week, haha i dont got to much to write about it, lots of crazy stuff happened and im just left with a big question mark over my head haha. people in our area are still progressing so thats good, no complaints there. the christmas broadcast was really inspiring and it was something i think everybody needed to hear. This christmas season is even more different than last year, but the spirit of christmas is always still there, when we let it be. ive been reading jesus the christ and its absolutley incredible what He did for us and for me, really helped bring in the christmas spirit, we had a miracle happen yesterday at church, a less active who probably has the hardest head i have ever met came to church! her biggest problem was not coming to sacrament meeting cause she was working and no matter what we said she wouldnt budge. well yesterday we saw her walk in and it was incredible to see her using her faith and trusting in god to help her and make everything alright. the spirit of the lord truly touched her heart and she made the change. it always depends on us to make the change and when we decide to make the change, we will experience the most sweetest joy. i love you family and wish you a merry christmas!
