Scripture Power!!!

Christmas cheer out the wazoo!

Feliz Navidad!
This one’s gonna be little since I got to talk to y’all YESTERDAY!!!! Highlight of my life. What a happy thing to hear your voices and see all your cute faces. LOVE.

Skype was a big fail, but Google Hangouts saved the day!!!

Christmas was lovely. We were able to have a nice Christmas dinner with our favorite family here, and they were so kind to us. We went to about a billion devotionals, we sang all the Christmas songs that there are, and we smiled a LOT. I was scared Christmas was going to be sad so far from family, but it was such an amazing time to focus on the Lord and all that came from his humble birth. I am so grateful!

Happy home time!! Six months a nothin' and then bam! All the happiness at once!

Everything is awesome, but the puzzle letter from y'all was my favorite part.

This week we were also able to travel and help with a capilla abierta in another ward. Hermana Ence and I taught a lovely lady named Paola for about 12 minutes in our broken Spanish and by the end, she was crying for love for the Savior and the miracle that she had wandered into the chapel that day. Now she wants to be baptized! GO PAOLA!

We have one awesome investigator! Javier. he is working to quit smoking so he can be baptized. Meanwhile we have been working with him to help him gain a testimony of a living prophet. something amazing happened! I was reading the Book of Mormon in Mormon 9 during my personal study. It talks about how God is the same in the past, now, and forever. Later that day, we were teaching Javier. He was having a hard time believing from just our words that there would be a prophet on earth today. I was able to remember what I had studied in the morning and it totally changed the trajectory of the lesson! Why WOULDNT Heavenly Father give us that same guidance he gave back then, today too? Well, he would! And he does! From this experience, I strengthened my own testimony of a living prophet on the earth today, and my testimony of the need to read the scriptures EVERY DAY! If I had not read them that morning, I woud not have been ready to share with Javier with the same power and spirit. SCRIPTURE POWER!

Ok gotta go! Love y’all with all my little heart. I hope you had the sweetest, happiest Christmas!

Love, Hermana Siebach
