Yes, Christmas
Adam is the day before Christmas Eve because Adam came before Eve. Haha I crack
myself up... BUT anyways!! This week has been CRAZY and I literally have zero
time to email today so it's gonna be super short.
DRIA, (dree-uh,
short for Alexandria) GOT BAPTIZED!!!! Ahh! I am so so so excited for her! And
her boyfriend, Andrew, got to baptize her! I seriously love this girl to the
moon and back and I am super excited I got to meet her and have her apart of my
life. She seriously has the strongest faith. She has done a complete 180 in
less than 6 weeks. She truly was someone that was prepared for this gospel. She
is awesome and such a role model for me too! Next up is hers and Andrew's
sealing in the SALT LAKE TEMPLE at the end of March 2017 and guess what that
means? I get to be there!! AHH! Well they have to get married first but they're
getting engaged like this week so pretty much next is the sealing haha. I am
too excited for her!(:
I can't believe it
is Christmas this week! Seriously where has this year gone?! But something that
I love so much is the Christmas spirit. But what I love so much about it and
especially being on a mission with it is that we can feel the Spirit of
Christmas all year round. It truly is just the Spirit of Christ. We can feel of
that Christ-like love for everyone all year round. When we are striving to do
that which the Savior did we are feeling that love. When we are studying our
scriptures and keeping the commandments we can feel of that spirit. What will
you do this next year to keep the spirit of Christmas always with you?
Sorry this is
super short and probably makes zero sense, but hey that's what happens on the
mission some times. Especially to Sister Wade haha.
love you all to
the moon and back and hope you have the BEST Christmas ever! I am so excited to
spend my first Christmas out in the field doing what the Savior himself did.
What better way to celebrate Him than to teach as He did? Well love you. Merry
Christmas!!
-Sister Wade(:
oh P.S. if you
emailed me this week and didn't get a response I am super sorry and will make
sure you get an email back next week! We stayed a little long at the Zoo today
with our recent convert so our email time got cut down to nothing.
FUN FACTS:
1. This week I
learned that I have fully been converted to Texas. I love it here and I have
always said that Utah has the best sunsets in all of the world but that is
officially false. El Paso trumps all so I am so grateful I get to be surrounded
by such beauty that the Lord has blessed us with! Wow I seriously love it
here!!(:
2. I learned that
I officially talk in my sleep and have full conversations with my companion
multiple times through out the night. Haha so that is fun. I am semi worried
she will find out every detail of my life this way without me even knowing.
haha
