Hey Elder,
How is it going?
We hope you had a great Thanksgiving, were able to eat a lot of good
food, thought of what you are thankful for, and enjoy what came in your
box. We had a good Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa's with Grandma
Suz joining us. It wasn't the same without you though. The kids were
able to have lots of fun with cousins and friends during the long
weekend. We are so
blessed to have you serving a mission. We think of you always and pray
for your success each day.
How is
the weather there? We are expecting a big snow storm tonight. We will
see. Miles wants you to know he now has 40 Pokemon cards. He is also
wearing your first football jersey, # 36. It is super long on him but he
likes to wear it.
Dad says to remember
to be grateful and count your blessings. Counting your blessings helps you to
remain humble, allowing the spirit to be your companion. Having the spirit is
what allows the work to move forward.
Mom received this
in Relief Society today...During the month of December, remember the
greatest gift ever given to earth was Heavenly Father's gift of His
Beloved Son. What gift can we give in return for the gift of his Only
Begotten Son? What gift would be appropriate, suitable, and acceptable?
One possible gift is found In D&C 97:8 "Verily I say unto you, all
among them who know their hearts are honest, and are broken, and their
spirits contrite, and are willing to observe their covenants by
sacrifice-yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command-they are
accepted of me." The gifts of a contrite spirit, an honest heart,
commitment to the gospel, our sacrifices, these are the gifts acceptable
before the Lord.
We are eager to hear how your week went. Also if
you have a picture of you that you want us to include in our Christmas
card, please include it in your letter. Or we can use the one with you
holding the Mexico Flag that Sydnee took.
May God bless you. We love and miss you lots!
Love, Your Family
