{Letter #35} What Would You Do For $100?

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas🎄🎅🎁❄ I hope you've all had an amazing week!! It's been awesome over here in YSA! Here are a few highlights from this week:


☆We met our amazing friend, Rodrigo. He's only been meeting with the missionaries for a couple weeks (like literally less than 2) and he already has such a great love for the Book of Mormon. He said that he felt like he was missing something in his life and when he started learning about the gospel it kind of filled that hole.
☆Our friend, Armando, got baptized! Not very many members of the ward showed up because of the holidays, but he was so grateful and happy :)
☆We had an awesome Christmas devotional this week and it helped me really remember what we celebrate this time of year. I really think that you can't get better than Christmases on the mission...
☆We had a party with our district on Christmas!! It was so fun! Someone offered an elder $100 to chug a bottle of Martinellis and... he did it....😳


Spiritual thought:
Because of Christmas, I've been thinking a lot about Jesus Christ and His life. Why do we celebrate His birth every year? Because He lived the perfect life and showed us the perfect example. Because He paid the price for our sins so we wouldn't have to. He made it so we can get the $100. Even when we're trying really hard and we mess up, He helps us. Even when we're not really trying hard and we mess up, He helps us. He helps us find our way back to the path that leads to eternal joy. So, as you're setting your goals for the new year, what can you do to better follow Him this year? What would you do for $100?😉

Hello everyone!! Happy Monday!! Get ready because these past like 3 weeks (or whenever it was that I last wrote a weekly) have been crazy ones!! Here are some highlights (and there are more in picture form at the end😁) Highlights: ◇We got the cops called on us!! We accidentally parked in front of someone's illegal driveway so they called the police on us.... No worries though it all turned out well haha ◇We've been listening to Christmas music for about 3 months now and are super excited that it's officially Christmas season now 🎄🥳 ◇We met some of the most prepared people ever! We "randomly" knocked on their door, taught them the Restoration, and put them on date to be baptized! They already had been to church a couple times and knew that the restored gospel is true! ◇We got to eat Thanksgiving with a cute family in our stake. It was actually my first time eating a meal with a member! It was amazing! ◇We got transfer calls this week! Sadly, I'm going to be

 Hello everyone!  I'm going to keep this nice and short for all of you, because I don't have much to say this week. I'll just put it into emojis and pictures :) ☃️🚗❄📖🤯👊🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🎄👶🎉🍪🎶🚙🤐 Spiritual thought: I was reading a BYU speech called " Come Unto Christ " this week and I was thinking about repentance. It's a change. A yearning to be better. It's rest for our souls. A rest that can only come through Jesus Christ. Isn't that an amazing gift🎁 I love this scripture in Matthew 11: "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The only way we can come unto Christ is to repent and strive to be better and more like Him every day! I hope you all have an amazing day!! Love, Hermana Goold
