Living in the moment

Maybe today Ill start the email off with a story. On Saturday Night we were teaching our friends Justine and Luzviminda about repentance, and I caught myself sharing my story and my testimony with them. I remember the spirit being SUPER strong in our teaching, but to be honest, the only words I remember saying were "There is nowhere else In the entire world that I would rather be than right here, in the Philippines, Teaching about repentance and the Restored church here on earth." I know I probably have said this in every email I have ever sent out, but I am soooo blessed and lucky to be here in the Phillipines serving a mission for Jesus Christs church here on earth. You know how when something super fun or amazing ends we always say "I wish I wouldve enjoyed that more" or "I wish I didnt spend so much of my time doing other things like scrolling on my phone or being lazy" Time flies... And I am living in the moment. 8 months left sounds so crazy after 16 of the best months of my life 8 months is too fast. Life is good right now. Its never perfect but it always helps to look at the positives, like how lucky I am to be teaching our friends, or how beatiful the Philippines is. Anyways Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!!🎁🎄🦃Who knows if Ill send an email out before christmas so heres the christmas email just in case😉 This may be my first christmas where my focus is on Jesus Christ and not about presents or santa. Wow I am so so so grateful for Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Savior. My life has been changed because of him and his never ending love and mercy for each and every single one of us. With that being said, of course its my last Christmas in the Phillipines so its gotta be the best. We are planning a dance for our ward christmas party which will be really fun. Also bought a christmas tree a while back and were planning to make some cookies😋 I read Elder Fountaines Email the other day and I just wanna second his invitation.. Go watch The Christ Child it is sooo good. I can only imagine the feeling of of the sheapards and wise men knowing that our savior and redeemer had been born. Chills. Merry Christmas😁 Happy new year?🎆🎇 Nice Title Bella I wrote mine first😆😉
