My sister is currently serving her mission in Bulgaria. I am extremely grateful to her and the example she has set for me! Reading her emails is the highlight of my week. As soon as my mom forwards me my sister's email or I get one personally from her, I literally drop anything I'm doing to read it! I absolutely love reading about all her experiences. Everyone in Bulgaria must just love her like crazy! She works extremely hard, especially with the members. Watching her develop as a missionary has been amazing to witness. Though I have only been able to really see that through what she writes, so I can't imagine how much more so is visible in person. I miss her like crazy and can't wait to be able to see her beautiful face again.
Lucky for me that is only… drumroll please… A WEEK AND A HALF AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH my gosh I'm seriously flipping out here! A year and a half goes much faster than two years haha! I'm happy it does though! I miss my best friend like crazy.
So yeah that's exciting news! Wanna know some more exciting news?? That would be the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And with Holiday Season basically here, it's a perfect opportunity to share the good news. In my sister's most recent email, she told us that Christmas time is actually a pretty easy time to find people to talk to. People are slightly more friendly and more willing to listen. How could one turn down a message of Christ when the whole purpose for Christmas is to celebrate His birth??? Right. It just
doesn't make much sense haha! Anyways, my sister tole us that having it be Christmas is the best introduction in and of itself. When approaching someone you could ask what they're doing for Christmas. See how and why they celebrate, then in that moment sharing a message of Christ fits right in. If gifts are brought up, you can always refer to the fact that Christ was the first gift from our Father in Heaven because He loves us so dearly. To me that whole process is just absolutely ingenious… well really its heaven inspired. :) Anyone and everyone can do this so simply. You get to be super excited about the Holiday season and an individual's plans for Christmas. And with that connection, you can then ask a more serious question as to why they celebrate Christmas in the first place. If they have knowledge of Christ, you are getting them to bear testimony of Him with that question. And if not, then it is a perfect opportunity to help them gain that knowledge and come unto christ and feel of his love and feel of his spirit. With that missionary technique talking to people about the gospel is so easy. It's just so perfect because the fun-locing, cheerful Christmas spirit can be there as well as the spirit of Christ.
