This week was definitely not as busy as the last. This week I have been sick. It really stinks because you want to do so much more than your body will let you do. I can testify that if you try to do more, out in the freezing cold, that you will just make yourself worse. haha Just stay inside and get rest so you can work harder after you have recovered. Sadly, I didn't do that one day...but I am feeling a lot better now, just in time for Christmas!!!
I had a Christmas miracle happen. For the month of December our mission has a goal of baptizing one family for Christmas. Elder Miller and I didn't have anyone of our amis that were getting baptized this month because the family that is going to be baptized was scheduled for the 4th of January. Both of us were thinking and praying that we should move their baptism to the 28th of December. Unfortunately, the family couldn't meet with us at all because they were so busy. Satan was trying to stop us. We almost didn't think it was possible, then one night we finally met with the family and the father of the family (loan) said that they were going to be gone for the month of January so we would have to do the baptism on another date either before or after. Elder Miller and I looked at each other and we decided that was the sign to do it on the 28th. So the family is getting baptized on the 28th of December!!! It was amazing!!! It is so cool to see how the Lord works.
So Merry Christmas!!! France is so amazing!!! I love it out here!!! It will be hard being away from the people I love but this is when we celebrate the birth day of Christ and he has helped me beyond what I could have imagined. I love you all! Have a great Christmas and celebrate the true meaning of Christ-mas!!!
