Hey family. It was a good week!
So this week was awesome! I got to talk to my family and boy let me tell ya'll, I am so happy that families are forever because I don't know what I would do without them! I love them. So Elder Brown and I worked dang hard for Christmas miracles. And oh how we found 'em! Christmas eve right? Knocking doors because president told us to FIND FIND FIND around Christmas because everyone is home! This Indian family let us right in their house and we taught them all about the book of Mormon and showed them the Christmas initiative! Well at first they opened the door, we introduced ourselves and he invited us right in and Elder Brown was like nervous or something so he didn't go inside for what seemed like forever! I had to nudge him right in the door!! They are an incredible family that are sincerely looking for Christ in their lives! Our district set up a toy drive and we collected toys for the children's village in dobbs ferry and it was super successful! It is so cool to see how nice people really are. Elder Brown and I found this way good deal on slippers so we bought them and I said I would buy them for his Christmas present. Giving and serving just feels good! We ate dinner on Christmas night with the Swenson family and they hooked us up big time with good food and ALL the leftovers haha yum. Oh oh and on Christmas eve some members saw us tracting and asked us if we wanted to get over and have lunch with them! It was so much fun! All their kids love Legos and they gave us awesome tour of their Lego sets and it was fun. Then we had lunch and during lunch I noticed that they had a CLASSICAL GUITAR 😃 we shared a message and we invited them to do the last day of service in the service advent calender! After the message I asked who played guitar and asked if I could play it. Oh my goodness I loved being able to play! It was the first time I had been able to play my whole time out here as a missionary! Such a fantastic Christmas! I now know the true meaning of Christmas! Christ seriously is the most amazing gift we have ever received! I am developing so much more of a personal relationship with him as I study every day! I love my Savior so much and I'm so glad that I get to share him and his gospel with everyone! I love you all so much! Elder Murray
