CHRISTMAS!!

Happy Holidays!!
Christmas is here and it is the happiest time ever. Christmas in Germany is seriously so magical! I am so excited for you to experience the Christmas markets on Friday! Ahh I am just so excited for yall to go to Munich and meet all the wonderful people that have changed my life!!!
This week was wonderful! We definitely had a Miracle with Achmed!! Lately he has been struggling again to know that if Jesus Christ was really the Son of God. So we've been refocusing on strengthening his faith on the Savior. Well on Friday we saw him and he said he had a dream. He said Jesus Christ came to him and told him that he wanted him to be baptized. When he told me that my mouth just dropped to the ground. I told him that was his answer and he agreed!! I asked him if he believed that Jesus Christ was more than a prophet now and he said yes. I was just so amazed. What a miracle!!!! 
Speaking of miracles I studied Ether 12 this morning and then all about Miracles. Something that I have learned on my mission is that God is a God of Miracles. We read of so many miracles from the Bible and from the Book of Mormon, and have they ceased?? NO!! There are constantly miracles all around us, and we just need to look!! I am so incredibly for all the amazing miracles that I have been able to witness on my mission. I have no doubt in my mind that our God is a God of Miracles and also a God of Love, and that he is constantly blessing us with miracles no matter how big or small they are!
Remember Simplice??? Well on Thursday we were in this little town going by a potential. As we were walking back to the bus stop which was far a way, we hear  this bus come and stop right where we are at and the doors open. We looked up and their was Simplice yelling "Sisters!!!!!!" He had seen us earlier and after he dropped off all his passengers he came a different route to pick us up to go back to singen to pick up his next passengers. It was so awesome and he was just so happy to see us. He introduced us into passengers on his bus as his sisters in Jesus. hahha So great. During his 20 minute work break he asked us if we could pray with him so we prayed all together. It was so great. haha
So Basically the Gurney's are the best missionary couple in the world. I have been so excited for Christmas so on Saturday night they invited us over for  dinner and to help decorate the Christmas tree that we wanted to surprise the elders with. We listen to Christmas music together and all had a great time decorating the Christmas tree. It was a great way to get into the christmas spirit. Well we took the tree to the elders and surprised them and it was so much fun!! Doing stuff for other people reallly brings you so much happiness. They then dropped us off back at our aparment, and when we walked in we saw this beautiful tree that was decorated with advent calendar ornaments all over and presents!! I could have cried I was so happy. The Gurney's had snuck into our apartment when we were gone all day and had surprised us with our own christmas tree!! It was the best ever and this is already one of the greatest Christmas's I have ever had!!!!
Well I am so excited for yall to be in munich. I cant wait to hear about it. Well i lvoe you guys!!!!
