MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It was seriously so good to see yall!!! The whole Moline clan in 5 different states but together through the beauties of technology.  I can't believe how time is passes so quickly.  It felt like nothing has changed.  Didn't skip a beat. I LOVE OUR FAMILY. 

So because since we just talked I’m going to make this short and sweet. 

This week was awesome. Here are the Highlights:

- We sang Christmas Carols at the Nursing home here in town and it was SO CUTE.  And kind of depressing :( I asked one of the patients there where she got her blanket, she held my hand so tight and told me it belonged to her husband who died many years and how it still hurts so bad still and started crying. So sad!!  I am  grateful for the blessings of the temple and that we can do other peoples temple work for them so they can be sealed with their families for eternity. 

Another lady there had a mother and brother who were LDS!  She said she took the missionary discussions once but stopped because she found out the missionaries went to the MTC to "learn"  the Gift of Tongues and it just wasn’t right and that they cant learn to speak in tongues! hahha she was so funny and adorable.  

- We met a man who told us that the Book of Mormon isnt true because we showed him the picture of Christ visiting the Americas and He said " No, no, no Jesus ain’t like you all."  (referring to the fact that he was white in the picture). hahha 

-THEN As most of you know we went caroling to some old LAs and met an older man who told us that he is a secret agent and swore us to secrecy, that he has many wives, that he brought over Sister Jones(senior couple missionary) who is "Chinese" over to America himself,  WHAT. HAHHA

I loooooove my mission so much and seeing even the small Emmaus Experiences reminds me of the constant help we see from our Heavenly Father in this, His work. What a wonderful opportunity I have to be able to serve and help my brothers and sisters here. 

So thanks fam for all the support and love and for just being there!!

I have a testimony of this work.  I know Christ lives.  He is our Savior and Brother and the Prince of Peace.  Through Him and His Atonement, the ultimate gift, we can be forgiven, and All things can be made right.  

I love the Light up the World campaign the church is doing for this past Christmas season BUT IT DOES NOT STOP THERE! Spreading the light of Christ, serving, and loving should not ever stop! I want to invite each of ya’ll this upcoming new year to pray EVERYDAY for an opportunity to serve. Put your heart and soul into it and it will change your life. I am a walking testimony of that truth! 

I LOVE ALABAMA AND YOU ALL

ALL MY LOVE,

Hermana Moline
