Getting Ready for Christmas

The days continue to fly by and we are beginning to get ready for Christmas.  We have been handing out,  Joy to the World pass along cards.  Most people take them with great hesitancy.  In this world no one believes anyone would give away a free DVD without expecting something in return.   We  will

We continue to see some great sunsets.

keep trying.  Two weeks ago we had mission transfers again.  We said goodbye to another  Elder from Bountiful.  He was a good young man and we will miss him.  We visited the Christmas markets in Manchester last Monday and tasted some nice foods from other countries.  We had the opportunity of going to a teaching appointment with the sisters to teach a man one of the missionary lessons.  He is such a good man and he is preparing for baptism.  He will be a great asset to the ward.
Today we were able to attend the sealing of a family in our ward.  It was a lovely experience and the closest thing to heaven we can experience on earth.  We put up a little Christmas tree in our flat and decorated it.  In the evening I called a sister to change an appointment time and she told us that she wasn't interested in any more visits.  We felt sad about that, but we have done the best we could and it her decision.  There are always ups and downs on a mission.  We will keep pressing forward.  We think of home at Christmas, but we will try our best to bloom where we are planted this year.  We love you all.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is God's plan of Happiness for us.
