Letter from Dec. 8, 2014
Hey Mom,
The concert was great! One of the
missionaries took some pics and some video of the songs, so it worked out
great. My talk is being made as I go. I'm kinda just putting some
dynamite stuff in there as I receive inspiration throughout the day.
It'll be great... And yes, we did see the Christmas devotional with the members that we live with at their
parents' place. It was a nice family setting. I enjoyed Elder
Christofferson's talk the most. When the guy speaks I swear he just
commands the elements around him. Real Majestic-like. Although, the part
that touched me the most was the part when they were talking about the
children waking up to a dill pickle on their plates, then hearing about
all the things that they have to be grateful for. Then the boy finds a dime,
runs immediately to the store, to which the store owner charitably
takes time away from CHRISTMAS MORNING to give him bags of sweets for
his whole family. To me, that really made the devotional. True love
between your fellowmen and I think about the boy and how he didn't use
the dime to get something for himself, but instead ran out to get his
whole family sweets just because he believed Santa left a dime for them
=) Work here is a bit slow at the moment, so there isn't too much to
talk about, but we have a killer week planned that is full of
appointments with investigators, service projects, and temple trip with
the zone. I am very excited for that. Other than that, sorry not too
much more to go on. A lot of appointments got cancelled so that's part of the problem, but we have been getting somewhere with our less actives. That's
been AWESOME! We may start doing some reactivation pretty soon (which is
a miracle in itself). We are still happy. I love you Mom Merry Christmas!
Elder Sierra
