(In Motra Bezas's mission, they did not have a p-day [prep-day] on the usual day during Christmas week - some missions do, some don't. For hers, instead, they had it on Christmas day, plus being able to Skype with family. It was SO good to see Motra Bezas and hear her voice! But this below contains portions from her email she also sent that day.)
This week was an amazing experience of Christmas spirit.
This time of the year is always so good for many different reasons. One is it is a
time of family and happy memories. Another is of loving and giving and thinking
outward. Another is the Christ. The last one is the whole purpose of why we
have this precious time to celebrate together. He is Christmas. He is the first
gift. He is the most precious gift we can cherish every time we come around
this time of the year and along with the rest of the year.
Something I learned
so much about this time of the year is that there is something that comes with
the season. A sweet spirit that softens hearts. I see it as we talk to those
during this Christmas season. I honestly love sharing the wonderful message of
our Savior. Especially through the Christmas video, "He is the Gift".
I LOVE THE SPIRIT THAT COMES WITH THE VIDEO. Every single time without fail.
And seeing that as we share this video with others, their lives are being
changed forever.
I love this gospel and am so grateful for being saved for
this time to serve in this mission. I know that God is our Heavenly Father and
that He knows us and what our true potential is. And He wants us to reach that
potential. That is why we go through the experiences that we do because he
knows that it will get us to where we need to be. I know that Because of Him, I
am who I am and where I will go in the future.
So something that also was good was the Stake Christmas
Concert. It was such a great opportunity to have people come and feel the
spirit and how strong of a testimony about Christ.
The seamstress that made our Christmas dresses came to
the concert since we were wearing them for that. It was so amazing to have her
there since she is not a member. She loved the concert. She is such an amazing
person.
So this last week we also received a new family. A mother
and two daughters. They are so sweet and adorable. They are open to our message
we have. As we shared the He is the Gift video for them, they loved it!
Transfers are around the corner and I am so excited to
see where I will go. If I will stay or go, I know that is where I am supposed
to be. I know that He knows best and knows where and who I need to be. I have
been so blessed to be in the 4th ward of Tirana. The members are amazing. I
love them so much!
I love this gospel with all my heart! Thank you all for your
support!
Motra Bezas
