A white Christmasy week

 

Good Tidings of Great Joy (The Angel Appears to the Shepherds)

Hello and Good morning my dearest friends and family. This is officially my last Wednesday Pday! Next week will be the new year and we will start having Pday on Monday. Then 26 more and I'll get to see you (but who's counting?)... 

It was a great week. Got to talk with the fam and watch them open Christmas presents on Christmas morning. Also got to check in on Christmas Eve. Doesn't even feel like I wasn't there to celebrate with them!

Some nice selfies on "Candy Cane Lane"

There is still a TON of snow everywhere and for some reason especially on our street... Do you remember what it's like to drive in the Autopia cars at Disneyland? Yea, that's what it's like driving around our neighborhood right now, just bottoming out and unable to steer.

There is also still a TON of work to be done here. Our teaching pool is progressing quite well, and we are having more people join our pool each week! A ton of our friends come to church every week and are almost ready to join the path through baptism. Thank you to everyone who is praying for the elect to come in contact with us and have a desire to come unto Christ!

Alma 7:7

For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all—for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people.

Just like Alma prophesied the coming of the Savior, Prophets in our day are saying the same thing! There truly are many things to come, but the coming of the Savior is what we should all be looking forward to because it is not far distant!!
