Guess what?!!! The day is nearly here where my district and I are finally departing to Thailand!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED! We leave monday morning at 4:30 in the morning! We're using Delta airlines! We fly to L.A. and then straight to Thailand! It's literally a full day of travel there! I'm sooooooo excited!!!!!
Anyways, what are your plans for Christmas, or Hanukkah? Are you traveling anywhere nice, visiting family, or what?! I'm not sure what we really do to celebrate Christmas in Thailand, but I do know that we'll probably be proselyting that day! What other day would be greater to talk about Christ than His birth?!!
It's been a crazyyyyyyy week! We've been doing service quite a bit. We hosted newcoming missionaries last week, which is why my letters were so short! So sorry! We also hosted senior missionaries on monday! Today though, we were able to clean the temple! AHHHHH it's crazy how busy we are!
This past week has been crazy! The Canto district just left, and it made my district realize how close we are to leaving to Thailand! I'm so excited!
Is there anything you want for Christmas?!
I've been trying to serve others, and be better at thinking of others than myself. I got mad at myself one day, because I was having a rough day, and I could feel myself turning inward. I could feel myself to have thoughts like "Whoa is me." and it frustrated me. I was thinking of how ignorant I must be to think that. It's not about me! It should never be all about me! This is a time where I can serve the Lord and God's children! How selfish am I?!
This month I especially want to focus on Christ. This past week we had to prepare a talk for church on sunday. It was about recognizing the Holy Spirit . I researched some talks and such about it, and as I was listening to Elder Wirthlin (I think), something stuck out. It was about how sometimes we get so caught up in the world, that we don't allow time for the Spirit and the Savior in our lives. I have a hard time to make time to feel the Spirit. Then I also realized or asked myself this question:
Where are your priorities?
That stuck out to me, because my main priority should be to the Lord. It's not about me! I need to be proactive and make time to feel the Holy Spirit within my life. I don't want to be the one to turn our Savior away, just like the innkeeper who didn't have enough room in his inn for Mary and Joseph. We should think like that more often. That would we treat a person, family member, stranger, whoever! like we would Jesus Christ?
My challenge to you is to remember Christ always, and make time for Him in your life!
Know that I love and Miss you!
Love Sister Woodbury
