Merry Christmas!! Goodness I can't believe Christmas is already here and we are planning for a video chat!! So crazy!!
We have a brunch at 11 and a dinner at 5. Sister Watt is planning on 1:30 or 2:00 our time for her family. We could either do 12:30 or 1:00 our time so 11:30 or noon your time? Let me know what will work best. Sorry for the crazy scheduling!!
Light the World is awesome!! Got to be honest, it's really weird posting on Facebook everyday for it and seeing family and friends from home comment and like and such, but its cool to connect in that way!! We truly have so many resources to share the gospel!! Such a blessing!!
Love the snow!!! It has been cold this week! Raining quite a bit, completely poured all day on Thursday, and today it's been "misting" and foggy all day! Sort of feeling like Christmas in that way I guess :)
This week was a great week!! We had a busy week and were able to go on a few visits with members of our ward that were all great!!
The first part of the week we had Sister Sonntag with us until her companion came on Thursday. It was fun to have her with us and to be able to have another Sister to go out with and teach with! We had lots of fun!
On Thursday we had a lesson and dinner with David and it was awesome! It was so good to meet him!! He read the chapter assigned to him last week and he studied it and had so many questions! He even found the Doctrine and Covenants and quoted from it! It was so awesome! We were able to clarify some things and help him to better understand and it was a great lesson! We have another lesson with him on Thursday and we are way excited! We are praying that he will feel the spirit of what he is reading and studying!
That night we were also able to go out as a ward mission and visits quite a few less actives in the ward! It was so great to be unified and all together as we visited and invited people to church! We have these newletters we created with a conference talk and upcoming events in the ward and it is perfect to give to those who need a little help!
Saturday was our Ward Christmas party and it was awesome!! We had so many less actives come and two investigators! It was a fun night!
And Yesterday- Sunday- was the best day of the week! I love Sundays so much!!
First we had such great personal Study and Companionship study talking about Heavenly Father's great plan and the eternal family we are all a part of! Then in Sacrament, all the speakers talked about that focusing on our Savior Jesus Christ- so good! And we had two investigators and so many less actives come to church! It was amazing and the ward was so welcoming and loving and it was so great to see and feel the great spirit that was there!! The two investigators, Meghan and Dominic both had a great time and said they wanted to come back! Dominic is Sister Power's husband and Meghan is her daughter. They are amazing and we are so grateful for their excitement and willingness to work together as a family to come closer to Christ!
And yesterday night the youth had a huge caroling activity and it was awesome! Meghan came and loved it and it was so great!
Overall it was such a great day and such a great week!
I have been reminded again and again how important it is to remember our dear Savior and brother Jesus Christ this beautiful season!
3 Nephi 18:24 "Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do."
He truly is the light and life of the world!! I know that He is our brother. He is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that He knows me and He knows you. He loves you. It is such a joy to spread His love and to help others to feel of His divine love and peace that He gives! We are so blessed!!
I am so grateful for all of you!! Thank you for your support and love and prayers!! I love you all so much!! I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!! Remember the reason for the season! And have a great week!!! Love you!!
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Love,
Sister Broadbent
