Hi Familia!:) I had so much fun skyping your beautiful faces Friday! Seriously it was a blast and you all look so good. I'm glad you had a great Christmas. Sister Olsen and I definitely did!:)
Wednesday we had our mission Christmas conference! Since it takes quite a while to get to Columbia we traveled most of the day. But we got to run through our D.C. program so I got to sing with Sister Olsen!:) New Years Eve is going to be so fun.
Christmas Eve we spent proselyting until 6 pm and then we went to the Wrights! Then on Christmas we saw the Weavers, a less-active Sis Clark, Sue, and our investigator Joyce!:) I have never felt so much love in my whole life. I'm so grateful and blessed to be able to spend Christmas with these amazing and loving people. I hope you all had a great Christmas:) And I'm grateful for all of the Christmas cards!
I want you all to know that I know Jesus Christ lives and reigns. I love one of the servant songs in Isaiah 53 that sums it up perfectly:
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Love,
Sister Stolworthy
