Christmas in Texas

Hello all,
So because all of the libraries and what not are closed today (No
idea why) I am typing this on an ipad. Just thought I might as well
say that. Well I had a fabulous Christmas! The Christmas Spirit Was
just aplenty in Texas. The days coming up to Christmas sure didn't
feel like it. Not a lot of people put up lights and what not. It just
felt weird, not to mention it was like 70 on the 23rd. It was weird.
But then Christmas came and BOOM Christmas came. It was so sweet!!
We had an opportunity to go caroling on Christmas eve outside the
Alamo. Besides it being the first time in recent memory where people
were clapping after I had just sung, it truly was an incredible
spiritual moment that brought a great meaning to my calling and to the
calling to every missionary. I am so grateful for the opportunity I
have to be amongst the people of San Antonio and I am so lucky and
blessed to be here and to meet with all of these incredible people. To
be sharing with them something that means everything to me. Then to
find someone who loves that message just as much as you do. There is
nothing that brings me more joy. I'm so grateful.
A lot of people we have been working with were all out of town so
it has been real tough to teach and help those people progress. But we
have had a ton of bright spots and it feels so good to find the Albert
Garzas and la familia Duarte and everyone I speak to for that matter
that makes this work worth all of my heart, might, mind, and strength. I
am grateful for these people and for their spirits and personalities.
