I hope everyone has a great Christmas!!
It was another great week here in Latvija with finishing up Light the World and getting ready Christmas!
At the beginning of last week we had just under 300 Light the World cards left. So we set a goal to hand them all out and it made it for the best week ever! So many more people were willing to talk with us this week or just take our Light the World card. It was honestly so amazing to see! I love this season! We also did our last caroling sessions this week which was super sad. It has honestly been one of my favorite things to sing about Jesus Christ and help others feel the spirit and just have a fun time!
One night we were calling people from the areabook and Sister Boswell was talking to someone and she said something in a funny way and Sister Taylor and I just started dying of laughter and so Sister Boswell just starts laughing as well and can't stop as she's talking to this man on the phone. But good thing he was the nicest person on the phone and just laughed right along with us and now we are in better contact with him - so blessings haha!
We also had our Christmas party this week with the branch that went super well! Us missionaries had a musical number in it which normally isn't hard for us to do because there is so many of us and if one of us can't sing it's all good but us three sisters cannot sing haha so it's been fun haha but we did a flash mob! Well we tried too haha but it's the thought that counts.
On Saturday we went to a medieval place where they threw a Christmas party for orphans. It was super weird haha and all in Russian but it was so fun to be able to hang out with them! We learned this Russian dance that we all did together and it was so fun haha.
We also had zone conference this week which was super fun. We got to watch Mr. Kruger's Christmas which was so fun, but I also just learned a lot of how to be not only a better missionary but also a better person!
Yesterday we got to go visit Masa Helena! I love her to death. She is still the cutest lady ever. She just had a birthday and is now 96!! We also had one of our members, she's from China, invite all of us missionaries over for dinner with her friend who is interested in learning more. They cooked us some of their favorite Chinese foods. We had so much food but it was so good!!
I also finished the Book of Mormon this week and I am just so grateful for President Nelson and for a living prophet. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that President Nelson is called of God! My relationship with Christ has been strengthened so much over the past few months while reading it. I'm so grateful for my Savior and that we get to celebrate Him at this time of year and all year!!
I hope you all have a great Christmas! I love you all so much and thank you for everything!!
Love,
Masa Brunere
