Mauri kain abau! Merry Christmas!
Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season. Even though I'm a missionary working 24/7, I can still feel the Christmas spirit. It's such a wonderful time of year. So much joy and thanksgiving. I'm especially grateful to be able to spend this Christmas season bringing others closer to Christ, the true spirit of Christmas.
This week has gone very well. Work has been picking up in Ambo. We've got so many amazing investigators right now and I love them all so much. We've been working with the ward to get the truck to drive every Sunday picking people up from Ambo, so hopefully we'll start seeing more of our investigators at church. We have quite a few baptisms scheduled for the coming weeks, so here's hoping.
We have some amazing investigators, M'aiango and her 11-year old daughter Augstina, who I just love to teach. Not only is it because they have such an intense desire to learn, but M'aiango also has a return missionary son, Tiibeti, who helps as well. Tiibeti knows how the lessons work, so before our next visit, he prepares them so they basically know everything before we teach them. They are such great people and I can't wait to see them enter the waters of baptism.
Have a Merry Christmas season! I hope at least some of you get a white Christmas because I know I won't be getting one haha. I tatangiringkami!
