I know that as we try to follow His example and look for opportunities to serve those around us this Christmas that we will have a great Christmas and our own personal relationship with Christ will increase.




It was another great and busy week here in Stansbury. Elder Rebarchik is super fun to serve with and I’m excited to serve with him for at least the next few weeks. We spent a lot of the days driving from Stansbury to West Valley and back. We had a lot of meetings there this week and so I think we did that drive 5 times this week. And this week we will have to do it a couple of more times. I had an ingrown toenail I didn’t take care of so I get to have surgery on that on Wednesday so that’ll be exciting (not). On Saturday, we get to have a Christmas Devotional for our whole mission and Elder Ballard, one of the leaders of our church, will come and speak to us. I really am super excited for that. Elder Rebarchik and I and a few other missionaries will also get to stay after to have another meeting with Elder Ballard. I’m especially excited for that. I can’t wait to learn from someone who has so much knowledge and is so close to our Heavenly Father. So the first meeting will have close to 200 people and the second will have more like 20 people. With it somehow already being December, Elder Rebarchik and I have tried our best to follow the Light the World movement that our church is putting on this month. We bought a couple of cases of water to donate to a homeless shelter one day and wrote a thank you card to a family who really takes care of us another day. I love being a missionary around this time of year because of how much we get to serve people around us. I’m so thankful for the example of Jesus Christ that I can try to follow in my own life. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves each and every one of us. I know that as we try to follow His example and look for opportunities to serve those around us this Christmas that we will have a great Christmas and our own personal relationship with Christ will increase. I know that’s true. I hope you all have a good week!
