Christmas Time! #heisthegift #sharethegift

Christmas time is almost here! next week is the week! my family gets to talk to me on skype and we get to chat. It's going to be great!
    Christmas is a great time of year! especially as we talk and share about the true meaning of Christmas! especially with the he is the gift is shared with everyone! it has been a great week so far as we have been helping others receive that message so that they have a greater Christmas. we are excited for Christmas to come. we have a great ward party we have been preparing for and setting up for that happens tonight. even thought this time of year is a little bit tough for me it is a wonderful time of year to celebrate the savior's birth! he is the reason we have Christmas in the first place! we need to remember it's not about the gifts or the fun we have, but for him who gave us all of this! we so blessed with what we have!
    I'm glad to be serving in the area I am. I can say I have lived in California............Maryland and live down the street from Hollywood..........Maryland.
     I really do enjoy where I am right now. you are well fed. every night a dinner. Every day we are busy. it feels like it is going by fast because we are working hard and focusing on what we need to! it has been almost 2 weeks into the transfer and that's crazy. I feel like I just got here!
     anyway I hope you have a great week! thanks so much to patsy cottom, the miller family, and the bishopric for the Christmas cards I have received. have a WONDERFUL week! Enjoy this wonderful Christmas week!

New Week, New Area!

So for those that dont know yet i am in a new area! the area is Patuxent! almost the southest part of the mission. we are the 2nd area to the last of the bottom of the mission. it is a car area so thats a plus. i also get fed every night so far. the people that i have met in this ward are solid and great! they are so missionary minded here that allot of them let us practice our lessons on them and they are solid on helping with service for less actives. it is great Our ward mission leader is amazing to he is solid and helps us get meals and has appointments set up for us or even has people we should go see. its great! i am just starting to get to know this area but it is going to be great! i may miss anacostia a little bit but its going to be great in Patuxent.
