HELOOOOOOOO FAMILIAAAAAA
How goes it?
I do love you all so dearly.
This Christmas was amazing. All things said and done, I have snacks galore, warm hands for days, and socks out the wazoo and a new purple dress!!!! I love it! So thanks to everyone who made this Christmas so great.(;
The rest of the week was pretty amazing. It was slow, of course, because of the Holidays, but we've had these amazing miracles every day. So many families have let us come in on the first contact, which basically never happens here in Arlington, so that was amazing.
Lately, I've been getting migraines a lot. Like almost on the daily, so that's been really hard, but I was able to track down my prescription, so now I'm a lot more comfortable and that was a total miracle because I called the pharmacy the drug was supposed to be at like 10 times and they kept telling me they didn't have it. And then they did!!! #Miracles
Okay, so lately Hermana Fuller and I have been tracting ALL DAY. Like we wake up, do our studies and go tracting, and then we come home for dinner and go back out tracting. It's been pretty discouraging and I was feeling a little down and forgotten. Then Saturday was just the worst. I woke up with a migraine that would just not go away. We tracted basically the whole day and by the end of it I thought I was going to DIE. hahah.
We decided to go try a reference of a part-member family that we got from some other sisters that was out in the boonies. We got there after a pretty long drive and it was just pitch black. It was a fenced-off property in the middle of nowhere and both of us were pretty spooked. Then this GINORMOUS dog came out of nowhere and was basically just waiting for us to get out of the car to eat us. hahah. Anyway. We decided to go knock because WE AIN'T WEENIES. We got out of the car and this dog started barking at us IMMEDIATELY. It was really scary. We just stomped up to the door and knocked while this Dog was out here tryina' eat us.
and then...
THE NICEST, SWEETEST, CUTEST little Peruvian lady opened the door. She immediately let us in, gave us big hugs, and offered us food. She had family visiting that was from right around Independencia (where Sofia spent 3 weeks serving in Peru the summer before her mission with Hefy), so we had a lot to talk about. Hermana Fuller was shook when we started talking about the Chili's in Peru. hahaha. Anyway, it was a perfect little miracle to have such a nice family welcome us into their home. At the end of the night she had convinced us to come over the next day for dinner and to teach some of her nonmember friends she had invited over. It was the best. Peruvian food, gospel discussions, and big hugs. The best.
Alright alright. I won't make you wait any longer to know if I'm staying or leaving...
I will be staying in Sunnyside for another transfer with Hermana Fuller! A miracle. I love this area and I literally could not have a better companion, so I'm pretty pumped.
Anyway, enough of this floofy stuff. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father. He loves us and because He loves us so much He sent us His son (John 3:16). Christ came to the earth and lived a perfect life to set an example for us (1 Peter 2:21-25). He preached his Gospel, atoned for our sins, and was rejected and crucified. He rose on the third day and because he lives, we will all live again. He has invited all of us to come unto Him (Alma 5:34).
SO DO IT.
Accept Christ. Accept His atonement. Lay everything at His feet and he will fill all of your holes (Alma 7:15-16). He heals broken hearts and feeds hungry souls. He loved you enough to walk your life and pay the price wether you will accept His sacrifice or not. He stands with open arms, waiting for us to come to Him and experience His love. He has you engraven on the palms of His hands and for that, you are unforgettable to Him (1 Nephi 21:16). So remember Him this new year and do something to become someone better. May we all become new creatures in Christ this year (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I love you all
God loves you more,
Sofie
