For some reason this week felt like it was a lot longer, but it has been so much fun! Seriously love this work so much :) We had Zone Conference on Tuesday and it was so good! It was our Christmas conference, so there were a lot of christmas musical numbers, which was so awesome because I seriously love Christmas time!! Our zone leaders volunteered our whole zone to sing a musical number, and we kinda struggled with our song as we were practicing for it cause none of us can sing haha (as for me I was asked to play the piano for it so I didn't have to worry about singing :)) but yeah it was just our luck that we were chosen to be the very last musical number! Haha good times though :)
This weekend they had the Messiah in our area! It's a community performance they put on each year for Christmas in San Antonio where a combined choir and orchestra perform songs from Handel's Messiah. It was amazing!! Seriously so many talented people here in Texas, and it was a great start to the Christmas season!

We also did some more contacting and stopped by some potentials again on Saturday. We showed the Day 2 video of Light the World about donating clean water, and earlier that morning Sister Nalder and I went to the grocery store and bought water bottles that said all proceeds go to a clean water foundation. So we shared that experience as well in our contacting, and the people enjoyed it! We even sat with this one girl who was freaking out when we shared this message of service with her, she was like "God must be telling me that I need to go serve! I was just telling my friends earlier that we wanted to do some service this Christmas, and we talked about the idea of buying water to donate!" She was super cute, she pinky promised us that she was going to do all 25 days of Light the World! So awesome!
I invite y'all to continue following this challenge of Lighting the World in simple ways! It is so much fun and I promise you that not only will it bless others lives this Christmas season, but you will see more blessings in your life as well! I am so excited for this time of year that we have to reflect on the gift of our Savior, and what better gift can we give back to Him than by serving our brothers & sisters this Christmas season!
Con amor,
Hermana Barlow
