We had a baptism this week!!!  Her name is Yang Jiemei, or Rice. She is so amazing. Our recent convert Cai Jiemei is her classmate, and invited her to church and she came. She saw that our recent convert was much happier and wanted to know why, and now she is reading the Book of Mormon like a champ and loving it. She is so excited to share what she has learned from the Book of Mormon each time we meet. She is so amazing. She really has seen how the Gospel of Jesus Christ has brought blessing into her life and brought greater happiness and it is amazing to see her change and become a happier person.

This week was Christmas, and was really awesome. We met some really amazing people who are interested in learning about God and who He is. We started meeting with them and sharing more about God and they are really interested. This gospel brings great happiness and a desire to be better and more loving and patient with others. It helps us to stop focusing on ourselves to focus on others. Serving the way Christ did and learning how to truly love everyone, the way Christ would, and trying to understand them.

I know that this gospel brings lasting peace and happiness. I know that through the Saviors atonement we are able to change our lives and become better people. God is able to change our nature and become the very best, to become the person that God knows we can become. He knows each of us and wants to help us through our struggles and trails. We just need to be willing to let Him. To have faith that He will help us and trusting in His grace.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!

Love Sister Basko
