What An Awesome Christmas

     What an awesome Christmas. Myself and Elder Gardiner had an awesome time teaching and testifying of Jesus Christ these last couple days as peoples hearts just seem to be more prepared to receive the message. One thing I was praying for this last week (partially because I thought it would be cool and partially because it is my purpose as a missionary) is that I would be able to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord by bringing someone to a knowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior during the Christmas season.

     Last night that happened. There is a part member couple in my area that are Hmong married and have been taught by the missionaries for about the last year. The husband is less active and his wife is the most golden investigator of all time. She has loved learning from the missionaries and wants to believe everything but has had a hard time coming to know that the Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of the world because she grew up shaman. We had the most awesome joint teacher with us. His name is E and he is a white guy who was a branch president for the hmong branch about 10 years ago for the hmong branch. Here is a little background on the guy. He is a multi-millionaire who owns like 15 buisnesses and he is also in the mission presidency. I once asked him what he does for work and he said, "I get paid to make people think that I'm more powerful than them, and I'm very good at what I do." So yeah he is pretty intense. Anyways we brought him to our lesson and after about 15 minutes the husband D felt like he had the whole weight of the world set up on his shoulders. Then he bore this super awesome that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and the Savior to C and the Spirit was so strong, there was a huge pause and then he turned to me. God pretty much handed me the answer to my prayer right there and I looked at C and just said,"I feel the Spirit, and if I feel the Spirit, I know you feel the Spirit. C, God is telling us both to believe. Then I bore testimony of the same truths that our joint teacher did and the room basically exploded with a spirit bomb. C started balling and D is just sitting pale as a ghost because he knew that he had been holding his wife back. Needless to say, I felt it was a success. After that experience I am now so excited to continue to go out and testify more of the Son of God and as His role as our Reedeemer. So have a Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year. Remember, share your testimony with all those who cross your path and the Spirit of God will back you up. Love y'all peace.
