Week 6 in Jamaica! Merry Christmas!

Alright! So, Merry Christmas to All Yall back home in the States! 

This week has been a blast!! We started off by having the Mission Christmas Party on Wednesday and I probably gained 40 pounds that night! Haha just kidding! But for real though I ate soooo much there! We received our presents, played songs, games, we ate, drank, and were merry because we knew that tomorrow we knew we weren't going to die! haha! A lot of back and forth in taxis, a lot of "Merry Christmas" to people who don't believe in Christmas, a lot of green, red, and white, a lot of smiles and much more! I can not type all of the things that happened out here because of my weakness in typing (Moroni). But! I am grateful for all the Christmas joy that has been spread through out our areas because we really did spread the Light of Christ this Christmas and it meant sooo much more to me now that I


am representing Christ in Jamaica! I am sharing the light of Christ with every one every day! People may not like the light but it is my purpose to invite others to come unto Christ by having faith in Jesus Christ and in his Atonement through Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. I love doing the Lords work. 

This week we had two baptisms!! On Christmas Eve!! They were so cool and reverent even though it was at the beach! Don't worry I took pictures mother. haha! One of the new members after being baptized took a jug and went and filled it with the ocean water to take home! It is a reminder of his baptism and man did it mean a lot to him and the branch here in Junction! The other one who is older, started swimming and acting like a little kid! He was so happy! It was truly amazing and humbling to watch this baptism. Christmas day was even better though. I got to Skype my family and see all of their smiling faces! Christmas on Sunday is Amazing! I didn't like it when i was littler because I had to stop playing with my toys because we had to go to church but now its a wonderful opportunity to truly remember Christ on Christmas! Later that day we went to the senior missionaries home and had a small Christmas Party. We had a small Christmas dinner, played games, signed journals for those leaving our district, and went caroling! We went to this house that had TONS of lights on it! I have a video that i will send for every one to look at! It was awesome! 

Before I go I just want to leave you all with my testimony that I KNOW this church to be the true church, I KNOW that Joseph Smith was the prophet to restore it back on this earth for the latter days, I KNOW that the Book of Mormon is true and evidence that Joseph was called of God to restore His ONE true church, I KNOW that the power of prayer works in mysterious ways but no matter how big or small they are Heavenly Father will always answer them, I KNOW that the Holy Ghost is there for EVERYONE if they will just open their spiritual ears to listen to what It has to say, and I KNOW that by following Jesus Christ's example and footsteps we can find peace and happiness for our lives forever. The Gospel of Jesus Christ in never ending, never failing, never changing, and will always be here for us. I know that the Lord can and will change our lives for the better. All we have to do is align our will with His. Strive to follow the Holy Ghost, strive to follow our brother and Savior Jesus Christ because it is through him that we are all saved. I love this Church and NOT ONE THING will change my mind or make me fall away. I leave these things with you and to any one who needs it, in the name of our Loving Savior,

 Jesus Christ, Amen.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!
