The thing about being a missionary during Christmas is that
the Spirit is just soaring at all times! I have progressively felt that the
Spirit is so strong and this week leading up to Christmas will be stronger even
yet. The majority of people are thinking about Christmas and want to feel more
of the Christmas Spirit than most any other time of year and so we are seeing
wild amounts of success in helping families come closer to Christ.
There are times when missionary work is hard and times when
it is easy, however it is ALWAYS good. I feel like I can't even describe what
the feeling is besides saying that I feel the Christmas Spirit.
Let's talk about James and Misty for a little bit. They are
always a treat to think about. I feel like they are family to us, we don't have
our family out here and James doesn't have his family either, they are in
Virginia. So we are going to hopefully go over there for Christmas and we can
spend some time with them. We seriously love them, we have seen them make
changes in their lives and do so much good and they started off already really
good so it is wonderful to see. They are working so hard and overcoming so much
and realizing how much power and choice they have over their own life. It is
awesome to see Misty, she has a talent of being able to apply the scriptures to
herself and James has a talent of digging deeper into them and seeing the
morals of the stories. I could rave about my best friends all day long but if
they saw it they would get bashful haha
We are seriously seeing so many miracles! Elder Tolbert and
I are having such a good time, we are very much enjoying our time together!
This is seriously the best time! We are loving our time together! :)
Have a marvelous Christmas and enjoy the wonderful time and
take advantage of the time to share of the life of Christ!
With much love,
Elder Mark Howland
