New Transfer, Christmas Miracles, and same ol' Eniwa (12/16/17)

Hello Everyone! This week has been crazy!

So many things have happened that I will probably miss a lot but I will try my best to give details. First off we started this week with Mission conference! We were able to have a wonderful mission conference with a LOT of Christmas music. It was really great to see everyone and to have learned a lot from the conference! It was really awesome to be part of such an amazing conference filled with Christmas music and Christ-related themes! Also because it was transfers I got my new transfer call! I moved back down the hall in my apartment. I'm back to Eniwa Elders 1 and am with Elder Burton. He's a really great missionary! He is from Ogden Utah and has a family of 11! As expected of Utah. (笑)

So This week have been doing a ton of finding but we have been having some really great success! Especially since it's Christmas we have been able to explain the true meaning of Christmas to a ton of people.  It has been really amazing and we have felt the spirit so strongly over this past week! It's going to be an amazing transfer of miracles!

So Christmas Eve we went caroling! We were able to meet with a bunch of less active members and they all gladly accepted us! Though the best part is that we were caroling with the second counselor of the Bishopric. When we started caroling he expressed that he wanted to go to his mother's home to go caroling. His mother has been really against the church his entire life. Up until now he had never introduced missionaries to his mother before. We went over to his mother's house and he was kind of fumbling over his words. She gladly welcomed us into her home and we were able to sing some songs for her. By the time we had finished singing her eyes were quite wet with tears. She was very thankful we had come over and welcomed us back anytime. It was a an amazing miracle for all of us. On the way back we were all crying because of how great a miracle had just happened.

On Christmas Day we also went caroling again for an old folks home which was really nice too. We also went to Family Home Evening at the Mission home which was great! I even got to meet an old investigator of mine from Shinoro which was an extra bonus!

Anyway In all it was a great week full o Christmas Miracles!

I hope you all had great Christmases!

Love,

Elder Harvey
