White Christmas!

Jin Fang's Baptism

They did it!  Our two investigators were baptized and confirmed this last Saturday and Sunday.  They had separate baptisms and both were just so full of the Spirit.  Their testimonies were so powerful and I loved seeing the change that they allowed the gospel to make in their lives.  It was so good to see their friends, family and the ward members all come to support them.

Tania's Baptism

Other than this wonderful event, it was also Christmas.  Last Christmas I had just gotten on island and I didn't really miss family or "American" Christmas, I suppose I was still slightly adjusting and maybe in shock, but this time around was definitely different.  I really felt the lack of festivities and decorations on ever building and house.  You ask how people are going to celebrate and they say they are gong to be working.  But, I loved our ward.  We really brought the Christmas Spirit with love, joy and Christ.  I think my favorite part aside from being able to be with the people I love in my ward, was being invited to the DeWitt's home for Christmas dinner.  They had their son and daughter-in-law and two grand children staying with them for the holiday.  It was nice to feel that love of a family.  The Spirit was so strong and we ended the evening together in bearing our testimony about Christ.  What do I love about this Church?  You have family no matter where you go.

I have been loving my time here with my as of last week, new companion Sister Porter.  We are working hard!  

Love you all!
