🌟The Lighthouse🌟

Hey yall! Yet again, another week has somehow passed! The Christmas spirit is really kicking into full gear here in Victoria! There's been parades, fireworks, and LOTS of decorations. And its only the 5th haha.

It was a great week! Heres the rundown:

Highlights:

-An amazing Exchange with Elder Mackenzie!

-Exchange with Elder Bolingbroke!

-We got a lot of referrals this week so we've been busy!

-Breakwater Lighthouse miracles!

-First Presidency Christmas Devotional!

Exchanges:

My exchange with Elder Mackenzie was great! We've known each other our whole missions so it was a ton of fun! And it was good for him! We had a crazy miracle! In his area, they haven't found anyone to teach in a long time, and we went out and met this really cool guy who was super interested in learning more! A big miracle for him!

My exchange with Elder Bolingbroke was also great! He is a newer missionary and it was good to get to know him! He had a blast being in the YSA for the day, and he seemed to have a lot more motivation heading back to Sooke!

Breakwater Miracles:

This week, we had time for finding so we went to a Lighthouse attraction where a lot of locals go! And we had some fantastic conversations! We met a couple who we taught the whole restoration! And we talked with a guy(named Zach haha) about religion for over an hour! Both were interested in coming to church! Big miracles for Victoria!

Also, I've thought a lot about the names of Jesus Christ. Theres the classic ones like Prince of Peace, and the King of Kings. But one I've been thinking a lot about is how a name of Jesus Christ is The Lighthouse. A Lighthouse is critical in guiding ships to shore, and warning them of any danger. It helps the ships go through the darkness, while using light to guide them! Just a little thought I have!

First Presidency Devotional:

What a fantastic devotional! If you haven't seen it I invite you to watch it! Particularly Elder Gong and President Nelsons talk! Both spoke so much about how Christmas isn't just a time to Celebrate a moment that happened 2 millenia ago, but Christmas is a time to celebrate the fulfilling key in our Heavenly Father's Plan for us! Without Christ it wouldn't be possible!

Anyways yall, thats it for this week! This upcoming week has lots of exciting events coming up! So stay tuned! Have a great week yall!

Haawa!
