Hello Grandma and Grandpa,
Pass my thanks to Kevin. I got their message and It was very inspiring! They are a remarkable family!
How funny: Shawn e-mailed me and he and a friend drove to the football game! How did the Vikings do?
What made the Christmas program so good?
How Sad. Sister Edwards was a beautiful lady!
Don't worry, I'll be home for Christmas next year and we'll make all kinds of crazy holiday treats!
Well, tell me some of the blessings you've seen!
I have a question.
Why did you accept the gospel?
Why did you let a couple of 19-year-old boys into your home?
Way to go! You are doing more for the salvation of souls than I am! Genealogy is so important!
I love you guys!
So, this week we are going to try to remember Christ more than anything. I am so thankful for His life. I wish I could always remember Him in everything I do, after all, isn't that one of the covenants we make every Sunday.
And truly, we are sharing a special message about Christ. Pray that I can find an interesting way to share it so hearts will be filled with desire.
I know that Christ has restored His church. That He, through the small and simple means of a young man named Joseph, reached out again to the children of God to share with us the fullness of His gospel. He loves us just as He loved His children in times of the Old Testament. He is concerned for us and only through Him we can find peace and help with the problems created in our times. So, when the world was prepared and one heart was ready and willing, he began to establish His kingdom on Earth again. Through revelations and scripture and the restoring of His priesthood - the power of God - we can find once more the Church of Jesus Christ in these Latter-Days, including a prophet. God loves us individually and collectively and will communicate with us personally and as a generation living on the earth through a prophet.
I hope you have the best Christmas...find someone to serve! Remember Christ!
I love the snow.
It's fun to play in, and my companion and I take every opportunity.
Here is a funny story. We had one busy day with 5 lessons, and we were running all over the city. Our last appointment ended and we were just a little late, so we had to go to another bus stop. This was Wednesday and we were receiving snow all day Tuesday night and Wednesday so by the end of the day everything was beautiful and white. As we left Love's apartment...(lybov's) we started running in the purity of fresh snow. The evening was beautiful and we couldn't resist going crazy! As we were having fun we noticed a trolley bus coming and we ran as fast as we could with our heavy boots in the deep snow to the stop. We got on just in time, paid the fare and sat down enjoying the fresh winter air that was all around us! The windows were all iced over, and we were excited to go home and enjoy a nice cup of hot cocoa or mint tea. We made a few phone calls so that planning our next day would be easy!
However, as we rolled along we scratched through the ice to see if we knew where we were going...
Unfortunately, we were just riding a long on a nice adventure to the end of town. Opps...we realized our mistake to late and at the end of the route we got off and waited for a marshutka to take us back. Another interesting tale to the night, we piled into the marshutka and had a seat. We had about a 30-minute ride in front of us. Imagine a big white van, maybe enough seats for 22 people, and anyone who can stand. Well the seats were all full in about 10 minutes and our last 20 minutes we just kept cramming people in! It was hilarious! That is the adventure of public transportation in Ukraine.
I love you!
Okay, time to go...
Happy imaginations...
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Sister Merphy
