Wonderful Family,
Well it has been a crazy week and I am excited to tell you
about it and then get to see your beautiful faces on Wednesday!!! It's been
over 7 months and that is long enough! I am so excited!
Fisrt off thanks to Hermana Mehner, the Osterhouts, the
Chamberlins, and of course Grandma for the letters/ Christmas cards/ package!!!
You are wonderful.
Wow where do I start! Not much time, but it began with transfer meeting, one of the most powerful since my first here. There was a lot
of mixed emotion seeing Elder Lonas, my trainer, go home, and be sitting next
to my first "trainee" or "greenie" whatever
you want to call him. He gave a powerful testimony that amounted to him telling
us that it is impossible for him to describe in words the feeling of his heart,
and for us to develop this kind of feeling and love for our mission, we have to
do it ourselves. Like the gospel, we can't have others feel or know or believe
what we do until they do it themselves.

I was very worried about being a trainer, it is a lot of responsibility
and I wanted his first week to go well. It did! We had a church tour with
George on Tuesday night and another one with Chris on Wednesday night! I told
him before Chris's tour that if all went well we would invite him to be baptized. It
did and Elder Schaffner committed him to be baptized. Unfortunately he didn't
make it to church yesterday, so it will be later than Jan 4th (the original
date) but that's ok. Haopeng and Tiffany are finally back in town and came to
church yesterday! Those three are progressing wonderfully! Sorry it's short. I
guess I can tell you the rest on Wednesday. MERRY CHRISTMAS I LOVE YOU!!
