ITS CHRISTMAS

Hola.




so, sounds like everything is getting ready for christmas. say hi to everyone for me at the keddingtons house. I wear that tie from Alicias wedding all the time. Yes mom it looks like i might´ve gotten one of your packages. but i don´t think i´ll get it until thursday because we have conference that day and so i´m thinking i´ll just wait to get them then instead of bugging the office about it today.



Well this week was pretty normal. we helped set up a tree that was almost exactly like our old one at home. it was kind of weird. then we had ward conference yesterday. it was REALLY good. the stake presidente talked about servicio. and the importance of it. Kinda reminded me a lot of the talk that President Riding gave in stake conference a couple years ago.



Whats the word on the other missionaries from our ward? How are they doing? Oh by the way, we have cambios tomorrow, my comp is going and im staying. our zone is having some pretty big changes. they´re taking out four elders from our zone and bringing in Hermanas, and then adding two elders to another sector. pretty crazy.



I really don´t have much to say. enjoy the pictures. they´re from the temple, our zone, and a family from the ward. Thanks for the numbers dad. I´ll be calling on Wednesday or Thursday to setup the phone call.



Merry Christmas everyone who reads these emails. Don´t forget the real reason of Christmas. The birth of our savior and redeemer Jesus Christ. Christ lives and through him, and only through him and his gospel can we once again enter into the presence of the father. Yes the lights, music, trees, presents, its all great. but its all based in the birth of Jesus Christ and the spirit of love and service. Go do something nice for someone! And remember how blessed you are.



MERRY CHRISTMAS. FELIZ NAVIDAD.



Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all Men.



Elder Hyer
