| We had a chance to man The Giving Machines by the Manhattan Temples So Awesome! |
Familia!
Happy December! These past couple weeks have been so amazing! We have been
seeing so many Christmas miracles!
First off in Manhattan
the church puts on this super cool Christmas concert at the chapel that's in
the same building as the temple. It's called Carols on Columbus and across the
2 concerts there were almost 2 thousand people that came and they had all the
missionaries serving in Manhattan man it. Sister Thompson and I got put on door
duty so we got to talk to and see all those 2000 people that came in. It was
super fun!
We also got to
volunteer at the giving machines this past week. We only had a 3 hour shift but
in those 3 hours almost $1800 was donated. It was cool to see people,
especially those who aren't members pass by and open their hearts to those in
need! There was one man who came by and swiped his card about 20 times and
bought more than $850 worth of supplies to give to all 5 of the
charities. We thought for sure he was a member of the church but when we talked
to him he told us he wasn't but loves the campaign so he wanted to give! It was
so cool!
Also I got to go to
the temple today. It was my last time before going home next week. It was such
a cool experience. We did an endowment session and then we went upstairs and
did dealings and each departing missionary got to kneel at the alter with
President and Sister Teuscher and do parent and child sealings. I went into the
temple with a lot of mixed emotions but I came out with a lot of peace and
tranquility. It was definitely something I needed.
A miracle this week!
We got a refferal from Ecuador for this lady named Blanca Nieves. We were super
excited and went to see her. Turns out she is a member her daughter just didn't
know how to contact us any other way. But she is now living with her other
daughter here in New York and she has two adorable teenaged Granddaughters who
are not members but who have so much interesting in learning more about Jesus
and Heavenly Father. The first time we were there we taught them how to pray
and the 15 year old almost started crying and told us that she didn't know she
could pray directly to God like that. They have both been praying ever since
and love communicating with their heavenly father. Im so grateful that heavenly
father put us in their path so that we can help them closer to Christ.
I love you all! Have
an amazing week!
