I Believe in Miracles!

Dear Friends and Family,

The Christmas season has officially started! Tis the season for miracles and we saw many this week!

On Tuesday our mission sent home 21 missionaries who had just completed their missions. We got to spend the day with Hermana Smith whose parents were picking her up that night. There is power in three and we were able to meet lots of new people and have a really great day. WE also got to meet the 14 new missionaries when we dropped off Hermana Smith back at the mission home.

On Wednesday we were all invited to the transfer meeting where President announced what the final baptism count was for the month of November. If you will remember the mission had a goal to baptize 100 new converts in the month of November as well as have 100 reactivations. Throughout November we all sacrificed half of our p-day and fasted and prayed and worked and worked to achieve this goal. The final results were......drum roll.........92 baptisms and 231 reactivations!!! Have miracles ceased? I say unto you NAY! We are so excited and we hope to continue this momentum into the new year!

We continued to see miracles and tender mercies throughout the week. The biggest miracle happened last night though. We have been working with an investigator named Trina who is just amazing in so many ways. Throughout the whole week we have been trying to see her and we kept missing her. We could not get a hold of her. Sister Kalahiki and I prayed and prayed that we would be able to get back in contact with her. She didn't come to church and so we invited her to come to watch the Christmas devotional with us at a member's home. 

 

We also have a recent convert who is just as amazing who we also have not been able to see because she has been out of town and super busy. We invited her to come to the devotional too.And finally we have another investigator that we just love who we have invited to church many time but hasn't been able to come. At the very last minute yesterday we invited her to the devotional as well.

The miracle....every single one of these amazing women were able to come to the devotional and feel the spirit as apostles and others bore their testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ. The spirit was so strong and I was so grateful for a Heavenly Father who heard our prayers throughout the week and made it possible for all to be there.

We also were able to watch the new video that the church released for Christmas called He is the Gift. If you have not seen it take two and a half minutes and watch it. It is powerful! The church is inviting everyone to share this video and message with others. The best way to bring the spirit of Christ into Christmas is by sharing it with others.

As always thank you for all that y'all do. Have a great week! 

Love

Sister Aase
