Hi Elder,
Sounds like you are getting more snow than we are. We have
about one inch that's it. They say it might snow this week, but we will have to
see. It has been really cold and inverted. No sunshine is awful. We are,
however, doing great. We can't believe that Christmas is next week and we get to talk to you! This year has
gone by so fast, it is unbelievable.
It
is so good to hear things are
going well for you. We love reading about your experiences and the
people you
are teaching. We had a very good sacrament meeting today with some great
talks
about Christmas and what is really important. One of our stake high
councilmen spoke. He reflected back to when he was on his mission and he
and his companions with others decided to go caroling at Christmas
time. They sang "Joy to the World and "Hark the Harold Angels Sing".
They were invited in and were able to teach to some who really felt the
spirit of those two songs. He also said, "During this Christmas season
and always, apply the atonement in your life." He gave a really good
talk. There are so
many great things
about this time of year. It is just too bad that all the good seems to
get
overshadowed by all the busy craziness of this time of year. We
are donating to a Sub for Santa as a family this year and donating to
the homeless.
Megan
is feeling a lot better. She is busy trying to catch up in school which
is overwhelming to her. She has also been super busy with her Madrigal
performances (gigs as they call them) which she really enjoys. She also
attended the Madrigal Christmas party and had fun at that. Malia had her
orchestra Christmas Concert last week which was good. She is getting
really good at playing the Viola. Miles went with dad to the new Star
Wars movie that was part of Symphony's Homes Christmas party (it was
during school, so Miles got out early to attend the movie with dad).
When Miles got home mom asked him how he liked the movie and if he
understood it. He said, "Yes I liked it and it was in English so I
understood it." Hahahahaha
We
miss you a ton and
hope you have a very Merry Christmas. We are looking forward to next
Christmas when we can all be together again. We know you are doing the
Lord's
work and we are so proud of you. What a great way to celebrate Christmas
by serving and doing the Lord's work. You will be blessed for the rest
of your life for
your service.
A
couple of Christmas scriptures for you to ponder this week. Luke 2:8-14
and Luke 2:6-7. Keep up the good work, we pray for you each day.
We Love You,
Your Family
