We were able to go shopping last week and I finally found a California shirt! We also went to the town of Bethlehem show. The Latter Day Saints and the Baptist church work together to put on a show. There's a whole set in the parking lot of a town, and they have booths and things to show what it was like to live back then. And there were Roman soldiers, and they act out the nativity and sing a few songs. It was so cool!
After that, during the week, we helped take it all down. It was kind of sad. But we visited some members and shared our Christmas video. It's been so fun.
On Saturday, we got to go to the temple. There was a nativity scene. It was so nice and refreshing and relaxing to go to the temple. How wonderful! I got to give a talk on Sunday for the Chinese Ward, and a member translated for me. It was so cool to hear my talk in Mandarin! I've been carrying my farewell talk around with me in case I'm asked to give a talk to a new Ward. The papers are starting to get old and worn, and are falling apart.
Let's see - scripture of the week!
Alma 26:12
"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
Love you all and have a very Merry Christmas!!!
- Always, Sister Brown
