Week 71: Christmas Is Here Once Again!!! 12/23/2019

Merry Christmas to everyone!! Man, what a time of year it has been. I don't think I have ever felt the spirit of Christmas stronger than I have been feeling it this year. Christmas as a missionary is literally the best and I am sooooo sad that this will be my last time celebrating it here in Oklahoma. I don't want this time to end! The members have been so awesome to us providing us with good Christmas cheer. Tomorrow for Christmas eve we will be going to a families house named the Hannahs, she asked us for a Christmas wish list and has had other members help her in getting the stuff that we had asked for Christmas and we will be opening all of them tomorrow when we get there. I'll have to share with you what I got. Also, thanks to everyone who has sent me stuff out here as well. You all are the best!

This week was pretty fun, and kinda funny because my companion has bronchitis and he coughs like a freight train. He was also tested for pneumonia and was told that he was not getting much oxygen to his left lung. Haha, nothing like a first winter in Oklahoma. We have been visiting a lot of people the last few days, trying to spread the love of Christ and the Christmas spirit into as many homes as we can. It is awesome because it has only strengthened my testimony of the Savior more and why we truly celebrate Christmas. it is so easy to get caught up in the stress of Christmas and that's what everyone in this state has a problem with. They forget why we truly have this holiday and that's why it has been a good opportunity for us to light the world and bring the meaning back in Christmas. We had a Christmas zone conference for the entire mission and that was pretty fun. We had an awesome training on the atonement and why it is important to know what the savior really had to go through for us. It bring peace to my mind knowing that he was willing to be put through anything for us even if it is the most excruciating pains. It is hard to think about it, but important for us to remember. We also had a silly talent show, my first movie in 17 months called the fighting preacher (really cool movie I would highly recommend it) and then the greatest part of all, we went Christmas caroling at assisted living centers. It was the best!

Well, everyone pray for the well being of my comp, he hates having bronchitis even though I think it's funny!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season and that you can spend it around the people who you love most! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Weese
