What's up everyone?! I hope you've all had a great week!

We had zone conference this past week! It was amazing! It was our first one that we had in person for quite awhile. It was so awesome to see everyone in person. President and Sister Hughes shared great Christmas messages as well. They are the best! On Saturday we got invited by some of our friends to go to this Christmas carol service in the backyard of a Baptist minister's house. We ended up going, and it was really good! They played some classic Christmas songs and read about the birth of Christ as well. We got to talk to the Baptist minister afterwards as well. He is a really cool guy! We also recieved transfer information on Sunday. Elder Tang and I are staying in Cardiff for the 4th transfer! We are glad to stay! We love Cardiff.

I saw a cool little miracle this past week! So I posted on social media about one of my ancestors who is from Leigh, England. And someone I taught in one of my past areas messaged me and told me that that is where she is from and where her ancestors are from as well. Leigh is a fairly small town/city for England, so we were thinking that maybe our ancestors could have known each other in the past. One funny but also interesting thing that she said was that maybe my ancestors tried to share the gospel with her ancestors in the past, and they didn't accept it, but now she is going to accept. I thought it was pretty interesting, and it's awesome to see people's hearts turn to thier ancestors. I bet they are more involved with our lives than we sometimes think!

I hope you are all having a great holiday season so far! I love the Christmas spirit. I hope you are all finding upliftment during this time. One thing that's really given me the Christmas spirit is the "Christ Child" video. If you haven't seen it yet, I would highly reccommend it. It is such a good video that will help you remember the birth of Christ. 

Love you all! Have an amazing week!
