There's No Place Like the Kansas Wichita Mission: The one where I finally went to Nebraska

Hello everyone! I am the worst at writing weekly emails as you probably already know. But it's transfer week this week! And I am leaving Concordia. I am so sad to leave this area. It is an amazing branch and I will forever miss it so much. But I'm excited to see what the next two transfers hold for me.

Monday call and Adam & Cami wanted to say hi!

Thanksgiving was amazing! And we still don't have snow here in Kansas. It's just been rainy. It's still cold though.

The past couple of weeks have been crazy! We went on exchanges and I once again was with sister Marlatt! We had so much fun in Manhattan together!

We have been able to put a lot of our friends on date for baptism lately. We received a training this transfer about having the faith to put our friends on date. And we have been much better at doing that and have seen lots of miracles.

Sister Fuller and I have recently been focusing on trying to find families. The majority of our teaching pool is made up of single men. Which as a Sister missionary can be pretty hard sometimes. But we were about to discover 3 families that are interested in meeting with is. 2 of them are part member families. MIRACLES! And last night, we were able to find a family!!! ANOTHER MIRACLE!!!

Sister Fuller and I have also been blessed of being able to get our friending coming to church pretty consistently every week. The Elders in our district struggle with church. But lately they too have been seeing a lot of miracles for church! But we have an amazing group of people we are teaching and have been blessed for it!

We have now entered into the Christmas season! This was my favorite time of year when I was a kid. To a little kid, the month of December was always the slowest. I loved all of the traditions my family used to do around this time of year. My Dad's favorite tradition was to go to This is the Place in Salt Lake City and visit the pioneer Christmas village. I always went because he would buy me the doughnuts at the doughnut shop and candy at the candy store . Just kidding!! And my Mom's favorite was to go to temple Square every year and see the lights. And look at all the fun Christmas displays temple Square always has.

Christmas is magical! It always has been and it always will be. The church made a new nativity within the last couple of years called the Christ Child. I love this video! It's not your typical nativity video. The church made it as historically accurate toward the text. I really enjoy it. It's something that I want to make into my own Christmas tradition. I invite all of you to watch the Christ Child with your family. And watch the joy that Jesus Christ brings to the lives of the people he touched by coming into the world. My favorite character is the main wise man. When he meets the Savior and weeps at his feet. I feel like I will have a similar interaction when I am at the feet of my Savior for the first time since leaving my Heavenly home. I know I will remember him when I see him. I know he lives and that he is coming very soon. I know that he came into the world so that he could give his life for each of us. We have Easter because of Christmas. I am forever grateful for these two significant days where the Savior's love is shown to us all.
