Tis the season to be jolly!
I am so happy right now....i should be sad because its the holidays with out my lovely family but i actually have been so overcome with joy this week....and somewhat emotional......i have never felt so close to Christ. This past week has been an amazing spiritually growing time for me. First off i had an interview with president that really got me thinking about how i can draw closer to the Lord.....and then we spent some time in Burnaby at the Nativity Festival..... while we were waiting for our investigators to arrive i sat in the chapel where they were showing the nativity movie over and over again. I watched it three times in a row. with tears running down my face i sat and pondered the Love of our Saviour and prayed for a fair amount of time..... since then i have been looking at people and seeing Christ with in them..... this has changed the way i teach.....and our last few appointments have been filled with the spirit as i have concentrated on loving them rather then worrying about what to say next.
This is real happiness...i have never felt the Christmas spirit so strong. I love my Saviour. There was a Christmas concert Saturday night at the festival and we had two Persian investigator families show up and we went with a less active lady that we love.....she told us that this is the first Holiday season for at least four years that she has felt the Christmas spirit and she says she thinks its because she has started reading the book of Mormon again......it is a powerful book....it is changing lives. and then we were visiting Sammy, a recent convert from Iran who was baptised in February....the spirit was felt so strongly as we talked about Christ and celebrating His birth.....this will be Sammy's first Christmas as a Christian..... i cant explain how wonderful it is to be introducing our Saviour Jesus Christ to people who do not yet know Him.
Love, Sis. Flake
