Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope your December 25th was bright
and happy and full of our Saviors love! My Christmas day was pretty
much awesome. Being a missionary at this time of year is the best! In the morning,
all of the missionaries in our mission gathered together at the Visitors Center
and we took a mission photo then had a wonderful meeting full of the Spirit! We
heard from President and Sister Matsumori as well as Elder and Sister Olsen.
The Sisters performed a special musical number (Breath of Heaven) while Luke 2
played behind them. It was so cool and really brought the spirit even more! We
then presented our mission gift to President and his wife, then they presented
their gifts to us! They generously gave each of us a gospel art book and a
journal! How sweet is that?? Then they surprised us and we watched Elf! It was
weird watching it as a missionary... But it was still fun :) We all loved it so
much! then we went over to the stake center next door and had a large turkey
lunch! We played games and had lots of entertainment (including Santa)! Then we
all had time to call home (best thing for Christmas ever!)
Then the madness began! We had SO
many people in last night! Most of them don't celebrate Christmas, or really
didn't even know what Christmas was or who Christ is or anything! It made for a
very interesting night. Hard night, but a good night! So many miracles! I
talked to this one guy from Russia. His name is Borge :) He was telling me
about how his generation (he's in his 40's) doesn't really care about
religion and he didn't really see the point to believing anything.
His son and his wife are religious and Borge doesn't understand why
it is so important to his son to have this strong belief. He wants to
believe like his family. So I told him that he could. We talked about faith and
how it's like a seed and whatnot. We talked about prayer and
scriptures and I bore my testimony of the restored gospel to him. He accepted
missionaries :) It was so cool! I love the spirit of Christmas and how it
softens people's hearts so quickly!

I'm sorry I haven't been the best about writing you all back, but I'm going to
try to change that this week :) I love you, I love you, I love you! Be safe and
stay strong in the gospel! Always remember that He loves you and will
be with you always! *Alma 32:27-28
Alma 32:27-28
27 But
behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an
experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if
ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you,
even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion
of my words.
28 Now,
we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a
seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a
good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will
resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within
your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to
say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or
that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it
beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be
delicious to me.
Love, Sister Bullock
