How was your week? Mine was awesome!!! Totally awesome! So, some random stuff for the week. I got to see the statue of Moroni on the Orlando temple be replaced! It was weird seeing the temple without it! Hahaha also tomorrow is transfers and guess what.....(drumroll).....I get to train!!!!! I get to finish training one of the most rad missionaries ever! His name is Elder Larson and I can't wait for the next 6 weeks!
I hope the Christmas initiative is helping you as much as it is helping me and all those here in Winter Garden! I have truly felt the spirit of Christ this holiday season as I serve those around me! As we serve others the way Christ would serve we will find a peace and strength that we had never felt before! If you want to give a life lasting gift to those around you, serve them with Christ like love! So, we had a super cool experience this week! It started with me having another flat tire... hahaha luckily a member came to our rescue in his search to lift ones burdens, #lighttheworld day 1, well we fixed my tire and he drove us to our appointment that we would have been way late for! Instead we got there early and had 20 mins before our lesson! So we decided to knock on a few doors! We were turned away by the first handful but came to this home with the door open so we knew they had to at least talk to us! Well we knocked and found this mother who was in a hectic mess and was as flustered as flustered gets! We shared the Christmas initiative with her! As we watched the video of our Savior giving sight to the blind the lady began to cry! She told us that her husband was blind and that she was struggling! We were able to testify to her of the peace and strength we can receive from our Savior! She told us to come back the next week and teach her whole family! Isn't that just the coolest experience?! We had the most successful week in the area in the past 6 months! So that felt really good, but I sure wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of the ward members and my companion! You all have a huge effect on those around you! One act of service may change a life, or maybe all it does is make someone smile, but that is worth it! Make at least 1 person smile each day! That means between all of us we will make 100 people smile a day, and 700 people a week! Do it! I dare you! Hahah
Well, I love you all so incredibly much! So, for Christmas all I want is your favorite scripture and how it's helped you or what you've learned from it! And then go serve someone! Alright well hopefully I'll hear from you next week! As for now know that I love you and I love this gospel!!!
Your gung-ho service missionary,
Elder Tracy
