Merry Christmas!!!

 

Hello!!

Such a great week!! So many little miracles! And so much fun!

English Christmas Eve party - Made snowflakes, wrote letters to Santa, played Santa Says, had REAL hot chocolate (that's harder to get here), and watched the new Christmas video (if you haven't go do it! "He is the Gift")

Christmas Day!!

- We wanted to make a fun breakfast but didn't have a recipe or ingredients to make it, so we ended up walking down the street to get McDonald's pancakes, hahaha

- Lunch with an investigator

- handed out mini candy canes on the streets

- went caroling... except drove cars because it was too far, and sang inside because it was "too cold" So pretty much just visited some members, but it was fun!

So we made ourselves a fun Christmas! Christmas isn't really celebrated in Taiwan. Pretty much, Christmas in Taiwan = Cinco de Mayo in America. That level of celebrated. So people also don't really know much about it and they don't know that it's about Christ. So that was my favorite part of the Christmas season this year; being able to tell people why we have Christmas.

This week I also learned a lot about goals, fitting with New Year's just around the corner. As missionaries we make a lot of goals and I was reminded this week the importance of setting our goals and our hopes high and then to not get discouraged if we don't hit them, but to see how much we actually accomplished (more than we would if we hadn't made that goal). And then to keep striving for better. I know with Christ's help we can all reach our goals and become better. 

Don't give up! You can do it!
