Merry Christmas - Dec 19, 2011

Hi everyone!!

 

So not much of a report today.  Thank you for the gifts I've received and will receive.  And thank you for you letters of support as well as your prayers.  It was another trying yet blessful week.  I hope you all enjoy the christmas season.  I love you and mom and dad, I'll call after 1pm your time. Not exactly sure when because I haven't quite found a place to call from yet.  I might be calling you briefly the day/night before to ask if you could call me on christmas day. At that time I'll give you the number to call and the time.  If not look out for my call christmas afternoon/evening. I love you and talk to you agin next week!

Hey everyone!

 

Hows it going!  Things are moving in the maryland baltimore mission.  It was a tough week this past week but expected since it's getting close to the end of the year and getting really close to our goal for the year.  The adversary is working twice as hard not to make things happen but we know who will win this battle.  This message is really short only because we are running short on time today.....actually everyday.  I want you all to know that I love you and miss you.  We have a missionary in my zone that is returning home with honor this coming thursday.  We had the opportunity to spend time as a zone today for pday and play volleyball.  Before we finished we got to hear Elder LaRose bear his testimony!  It's always sad to see a missionary finish their mission, especially one as he who has been such a great leader, example, and has effected the mission so much.  With him leaving and with another transfer ending I can't help but thing of the time I have left.  Less than 6 months and 4 more transfers to go.  It's gone by way to quick for me and it scares me how quickly these last 4 transfers may go by.  It makes me sad to think. Maybe you all could help!  If you so feel, please help me to stay focused on the mission and help me not to think of the end! aaaahhhhhhh.  Spiritual thoughts and scriptures are great!  Follow up on me and make sure I'm staying focused!  If you could that would be sooo awesome!  I hope all is well at home with all of you.  Please update me on Jayren and Jevin!  Are things still okay with them after the car crash?  I love you all, merry christmas and happy holiday season.  If you haven't had the chance to watch the christmas devotional from the first presidency please go watch it on lds.org.    Alrighty then.  Take care and talk to you next week!
