Hey Beus Bunch! How are you? Things are great here. We just had our mission Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for the packages. I am excited to open them. We had some good food and sang some carols and had a pretty awesome testimony meeting. It was very spiritual. I was asked to speak in sacrament meeting. That went really well. My topic was on the Savior. Lucky for me I have been on a big phase of studying the atonement and His miracles so it was pretty easy and fun to prepare. I just talked about how I came to know Him as my Savior from reading the Book of Mormon. Read Messiah 14 and that is where I shared that chapter with them and bore my testimony. I am really grateful for all that He did for me and for the atonement. It has really blessed me and helped me to be where I am today. Just turning around from where I was three or four years ago and seeing the effects or the atonement is just amazing. Oh and seeing it’s influence in our investigators lives is even more amazing. I just love seeing their whole countenance change because of it. My studies are really helping me to come closer to him. Mission life is the life. Are you guys still reading every morning? I hope so. You know how much it helps. How is the ward? How is the Sunday school dad? Not much else is new. I don't know what time I will call on Christmas. I’ll try for 9 my time so it will be 10 your time. But I will let you know next Monday for sure. We are going to our ward mission leaders and hanging with them all day. It will be fun. They are a great family. Well I hope you have a great holiday. Remember what Christmas is for. Jesus Christ. I love all of you! The church is true the book is blue! Merry Christmas
