Hey Everybody,

I don't have much time, but i will just give you an update on the week. well, not much happened. we got snowed in last wednesday, so we couldn't work much, but we did get some stuff done. we might have a baptism this saturday, we will see. it's the last week of the transfer, so we'll see where i am and who i'm with next week. i love you all to death, and i hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Did you guys get to watch the christmas devotional sunday? it was so awesome. always nice to hear from the Prophet and his Counsellors. they truly are called of God, and just watching that devotional got me so excited for the season, and for the message we share. Our Savior Jesus Christ was born, He lived, He suffered and Atoned and Died for us, and He rose, and He lives again, and because of all of this.... we can be happy forever. you can look at it the other way if you want, Christ did those things so we can be happy. Regardless of how you look at it, it happened. and i know that. we live in a great time, with lots of hustle and lots of bustle and lots of crazy things happening all around us, but what a blessing we have to find solace and peace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and in our Families, the most important unit of our lives. we are blessed. God loves each of us without bounds, and there are people out there who do not know that. can you imagine? i can't. and that is why this is so important. why the latter day work is so essential. we are the means of bringing happiness to those who are desperately searching it. and i don't just mean the missionaries, i mean us as members of the Church. we are each Disciples of Christ, and we have chosen to follow him, and what a great choice it is. i hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season, i miss you all immensely, and hope you have a wonderful week! i love you all and wish you the best!
