We
survived another walk week! Luckily the weather was pretty mild all week
and so we weren't freezing like last time. We had a pretty good week.
We were able to talk to many people and do lots of service which always
makes for a good week.
Trina
is getting baptized this Saturday!!! I think the only person more
excited than Sister Kalahiki and me is Trina. She cannot wait to be
baptized. It has been an amazing experience to get to teach her. She has
just fallen in love with the Book of Mormon and the gospel. I love
getting to see the change and the light that comes into people's lives
as they begin to embrace the gospel. It makes walking for a whole week
totally worth it!
On
Monday we taught Trina in our mission President's home. We found out at
the last minute that the Otter Creek Sisters were also coming and
bringing a recent convert. We were a little nervous about how five
sister missionaries were going to be able to teach two lessons combine
into one altogether in a unified manner. But it ended up being so good. The
Spirit guided the lesson from the beginning and everything just went so
smoothly and perfectly you would have thought the five of us had been
teaching together for months! I am so grateful for the Spirit that takes
over when I don't know how I am suppose to teach or what I suppose to
say. I'm so grateful for the promise that if I will just open my mouth I
will be given the words. I have seen this happen time and time again.
We
had our Christmas Sacrament meeting a little early. It was so great. I
absolutely love this time of year. I love Christmas decorations and
music and cheesy Christmas movies. I love spending time with family and
friends. I love Christmas traditions. Because I'm a missionary for
Christmas this year I am giving up all that. But the thing I love most
about Christmas is that everyone' s thoughts are turned to the Savior a
little more this time of year. And that I don't have to give up. In fact
this year more than any other Christmas I am focusing on Christ. I am
out representing Him everyday this holiday season. And it is the best
Christmas present ever!
I love this work and I love this gospel!
As always thank you for all that you do for me.
Love
Sister Aase
