Feliz Navidad



Hey everyone,

So we had transfers this week and I will be leaving Houma to go to a area called Lafayette, which means I will have served in every area my second companion served in plus 2, haha I’ve heard it is a fun area so I’m super excited to go there even though I’m sad to leave Elder Clifford and Houma.

The cool experience from this week was when we went to the ward Christmas party. In this area there are a lot of less active people that all the missionaries and members have been working on for a long time to come to church.   At the Christmas party it came to fruition. Almost all the less actives we have all been working on came to the party, and were able to meet and mingle with the members again.  It was also great cuz only one of the Spanish less active families we work with wasn’t there.  Then even better, a lot of the people that came to the ward party, also came to church for the first time in ages this last Sunday; so that was a great time!

Another blessing from this week is that we got to go to the temple! I really love the temple and I was a little bit spoiled by it back home. In high school we were able to do temple Tuesday’s and many times a month we were able to go and attend the temple.  Since coming to Louisiana, seeing as there is only one temple in the state, I’ve only been able to go twice.   I feel like because of that, my appreciation of the temple, and the special spirit it brings, has grown. I love the temple and I love the fact that through the priesthood and temple ordinances we can be sealed to our family live together for all eternity.

Love all of you, I hope you have an awesome Christmas!
