We had transfers this morning and this will be my shortest transfer ever as a missionary! I have a new companion, her name is Sister Skouson, and we're both going to Argentina on the 6th of January to the same mission! So it's gonna be a fun next three weeks at Temple Square. We just got an absolute dump of snow last night and it feels so much like Christmas. Especially with the lights and displays it's hard for my thoughts not to be continually pointed to my Savior and His birth.
With Christmas RAPIDLY approaching its been so special for me to be reading accounts that are specifically about Christ. Something that stuck out to me this week was all of the prophecy about Jesus we find in the writings from prophets in the Book of Mormon. I LOVED reading 1 Nephi 10. Nephi desires to know the interpretation of the dream his father had, the vision of the Tree of Life. As an answer to Nephi's righteous desires and faith, the Spirit shows unto him the interpretation of the dream.
It was so wonderful to me that the way Nephi came to understand the interpretation, was by the Spirit showing unto Him the life of Christ. Specifically verses 13-24 stood out to me. As Nephi understood Christ more and more, he was able to understand the dream! Looking to Christ is what brings us answers to the questions of our souls. "yea, and the most joyous to the soul" (v 23)
We also gave Spanish tours to many wonderful people this week. I know the Lord is blessing me with so many opportunities to bring more of His children to an understanding of His love.
Happy 10 days til Christmas!!
Also thanks to all who sent me kinda emails and letters per my mother's request! It really made my week and I can really feel the outpouring of love so thank you ❤️
