Bye Bye Vermont

Yep. I am getting transferred. I am so sad to leave this wonderful
area, but I know that I must be needed somewhere else! It is going to
be an exciting adventure.

This week was kind of sad and slow in the beginning. We had a ton of
appointments fall through, so it was a bit discouraging. The rest of
the week was amazing though! More evidence that miracles always come
if you work hard and follow the Spirit!:)

Christmas eve was wonderful! We were able to go to a Christmas Party
at an active members house, but they invited 3 non members that were
interested in meeting with us. We had the opportunity to share "A
World Without a Savior" and bear our testimony about how the Savior
and how he has changed our lives. The spirit in the room was palpable,
and everyone in the room could feel the truth of what we talked about.
It was amazing, and we were able to set an appointment to go see them
later this week.

On Christmas we had dinner with an investigator which was amazing. We
got to share a message with their whole family. We share a Christmas
message from the Old Testament. Isaiah 60:19 reads: "The sun shall be
no more thy light by day; niether for brightness shall the moon give
light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light,
and thy God thy glory." and in verse 20 " Thy sun shall no more go
down; niether shall the moon withdraw itself; for the Lord shall be
thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended"

Because of Christ's birth, we are free from all present cares. We are
given light in the deepest darkness, and comfort in our deepest
sorrow. we need only rely on the Lord and all other things will fall
into their proper place.

Our mission president challenged us to set goals for the coming year,
and center them around giving our gift to Christ. I would challenge
you all to do the same! The new year is the perfect time to start a
new, and because of Christ we can continue to have a clean slate all
throughout the year.

Next time you hear from me I could be in New Hampshire, Maine, or
Massachusetts!

Until next time,
Sister Lescarbeau
