HEY MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! How are you doing!! So much to talk about!!!!! So i have to tell you about this new Christmas initiative. The church is doing and it is called "He is the gift". It is dope! It's this huge thing the church is doing that is focused on the reason behind Christmas. There is a new video out and they created new pass a long cards that are getting sent out with all the Ensigns. It's crazy!! They bought advertisement space in Times Square in NY for the whole month of December!! Look into it!!! It's nuts!! WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT IT AS Missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!! GUESS WHAT I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the living forest Gump. He has aspergers. He has been homeless 3 times, he's a magician, a pro wrestler, a card dealer at a casino for 10 years, and worked at Disney. He's awesome! Also the family I am working with is progressing great!!! This week the Dad had an accident with his leg. He has thin skin by his ankle and when ever someone scrapes it, it just comes off. Well that happened and we went over to give him a blessing!! He's been living with this his whole life and after I gave him a blessing he said that it had never healed that fast. A literal miracle! So crazy!!! Like the church is true I have no doubt about it. Our Lord Jesus Christ lives, and he loves us. My new favorite song is I know that my redeemer lives. Because he does, and he loves us!!!! He is always with us!! I'm so excited to get my Christmas package!! Like I'm pumped!! I'm sad I'm not gonna be there with you guys!! But its okay!! So with the Skype, its pretty awesome!! We will set up a time later together so you will know when I am going to call!! You can do it at Grandmas house!! Which would be awesome!! We will get 45 minutes!!! So I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!! It's gonna be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When it gets closer we will figure it out!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I love you! I will see you guys soon!! Remember that this gospel is the way!! Through our lord Jesus Christ we can do anything. Lean on him. As it says in Matthew chapter 11:28-30 his yoke is easy!! He will help us when we need it!!! Thank you for all you do for me!! I love you guys!!!
