Ashley's Mission Email #72
We got permission to see the Christmas devotional last night even though here it started at 9pm. We live so close to the church that it was ok. We had some good hot chocolate and bread and listened to some great messages and the songs were so good too! So tomorrow we have a temple trip! An awesome way to start the Christmas season. Even though I feel like Christmas came 2 months ago because Dominicans like to get a head start.
We spent a lot of energy trying to get Sandra and Pedro to the Christmas devotional. They are a part member family that President gave to us as a reference. They have 2 kids. Miyuki the 8 year old and a little baby boy and they are so great. Finally we got Sandra and the kids to come. (It was the hot chocolate.) Haha, no just kidding. They really liked it!
It's so true though, the spirit of Christmas time. Just speaking of Christ's birth brings the Spirit. So take advantage of that. The video of A Savior is Born can help too. But this time really is special so use it to help others feel it too.
Love,
Hna Allen
