New Years and New Years Eve were both really great. On New Years Eve we got a lot of missionaries together and played volleyball at the church! It was way fun! Afterwards we got pizza together and then headed home. We had to be home at 7pm but we had permission to stay up until midnight! So we did lots of exciting things like playing Go Fish, checkers, defrosting the freezer, and reading the scriptures. It was a party! And then the fireworks came at midnight. And they were outstanding! Even where we lived in a suburb in a neighbourhood there were fireworks everywhere! It felt like we were in a war zone! There were just explosions all around and other shut way constantly getting flashed and filled with light. It was really cool! Then on New Years Day, we had dinner and put together a puzzle with the Kelleys, a senior missionary couple. It was a great two days!
Besides the holidays, we also got back to work! One highlight really sticks out to me was when we met a man named Axel. He is around 22 and when we knocked on his door, he asked who we were and after hearing the church's name he invited us right in. We got to teach him, and things are going pretty well. We'll be back over and visiting him again tomorrow. But yeah, things are going well!
I got the opportunity to share my testimony in church this last Sunday. It felt wonderful to be able to stand up there and share some thoughts. I shared John 17:3, that life eternal is to get to knock God and Jesus Christ. And it really is true. We can know that Jesus is the Christ, and as we do we get closer to Him and God and can feel more joy. Reading and focusing just on Christ from Christmas Eve until New Years Day was a great experience.
Have a good week!
