Dear Family and Friends,

Merry Christmas! This past week was a great one! Sorry but I dont have much time to write and I will be skyping with the family on Thursday so I will tell you all! haha.

This past week we went up to kiev for a zone meeting. It was amazing. It was focused on becoming a more consecrated missionary! I learned so much. It is so amazing that even after 20+ months on a mission I can still learn so much more about missionary work. It shows that revelation is true and that our mission president really is inspired when he teaches us!

After the zone meeting I stayed in kiev for a couple of days and did an exchange with one of the zone leaders! It was so amazing. I love kiev so much and it was awesome to be back in one of my old areas. We did so much and had so many lessons. It was so amazing. I learned so much from my zone leader about being more consecrated. He was so awesome and didnt waste any time at all. We were just going going going everywhere! It was so cool!

Saturday we had our branch Christmas party. It was so good. It was very very focused of Jesus Christ. We talked about him and watched movies and sang. It was such a spiritual experience and lots of non members came!

During the week we met with lots of our investigators. They are doing good. We love them so much and are trying to help them come closer to Christ everyday!

Well I love you all and hope you have an amazing Christmas! Never forget the real meaning of Christmas!

Love
