Hello everyone!

How is the Christmas season treating you? It seems that Santa has been working extra hard for us Missionaries, so many miracles! Each week we have to report to President a miracle that we noticed in our work, and I had a hard time choosing between them all! But one of them has to be recognising a reason why I came into the Mission at the time I did. There were a few things that delayed my application for the Mission, and at the time I didn't understand why. I spoke with Bishop Nicholls about it, and he prophesied that there was a need for me in the field that I wouldn't otherwise reach. This week I saw that come true. Really, I should be home by now, but I can see that I'm really needed at this time. I'm grateful that I came out when I did, even if was months after I wanted to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help as I can right now. Everything that happens, happens for a reason. Everything happens on the Lord's schedule, not ours. Remember that. When everything seems to fail, fall down, and crumble into nothing, remember that it is the Lord's timetable. Whether it is the next day, month, or 2 years, or even 20 years later, you will see the great wisdom that He has, and why things happen the way they do.

I love you!
