Week 12   შობას გილოცავთ!!!!!!!

[Merry Christmas]

Just like that yet another week done. This week was crazy and I can't believe it's over. This week started out great because we had a meeting with a Ukrainian referral. When a member went up to the temple not too long ago, one of the members over in Ukrainian said to send the missionaries over to some relatives in Georgia. We were those missionaries! So with the Donovan’s [senior missionaries] and the Georgian member we all went to their apartment. It was awesome and they were very interested. The Georgian member testified about the temple and what they did there. She was so awesome! We plan on meeting with them again soon. I am super excited about these people! I did exchanges this week with another sister (Sister Myers) and it was super fun! Sadly our alarm didn't go off that morning so......we slept in on accident......still not happy about that. I have no idea why BOTH of our alarms didn't go off. Oh well, the rest of the day was super fun. We met up with a Georgian who lived in England at one point. She was super cool and had an English accent. The best! I got to share the spiritual thought before we left (luckily in English) and it went well. Then Saturday we had a zone conference which was basically a Christmas party with all the missionaries. Super fun and then later that day we went caroling. That was awesome aside from the fact at one point all of us sisters got a kiss on the hand by some random drunk men.........yeah that was "nice". Sunday was cool, we had a small linger longer with the branch. It went really well! The American Embassy families really chipped in with this one which was great. And now we are here. We have a fun Pday planned with everyone being Christmas Eve. All of us sisters in our branch are going to go caroling to some of the inactive and active members in our areas, so that will be fun.

This week was amazing because we really focus all our lessons around Christ. We got to tell of His story and that He lives. That because of Him our lives are so much brighter. Christ adds light to every dark and dreary day, week, and sometimes years of our lives. He truly is our perfect brightness of hope. We got to see people come closer to Christ this week and it was amazing to see. I really could feel Christ's love for people even more than I have before. I really hope to keep that throughout my mission and even past that. 

Merry Christmas everyone! შობას გილოცავთ!!!!!!!
