Time is flying

Hey everyone,

Time is flying by. Happy 2 months!  Couple rough weeks in there but

things are good in Beverley (hills). I found some bikes at the

house!!!! They were in a back room. They had flat tires but I pumped

em up and tuned them. We rode them for 1 night, Monday night. We rode them

to the other side of Beverley which is usually 35 min walk.  It took maybe 10

minutes on the bikes. It was sooooooo good feeling the wind. But the

seat hurt my companions bottom and he prefers walking so we

haven't ridden them since. 

This week we were able to to teach some

recent converts for family home evening at the Turners which was

really fun. Also, we had the ward Christmas party on Saturday which was so

relaxing.  We were able to spend quality time building relationships with ward

members. Sunday the choir (which I am a member of)  sang which I

love!! Song brings a special, powerful spirit to any meeting. Sunday we

had a Christmas lunch with my favourite members. Yummy food!! And good

company. Some recent converts were also invited. My favourite part is

seeing a testimony grow. Wether it's a recent convert or long time member. The

happiness the gospel brings is beyond explanation. I challenge

everyone reading to read 1 thing gospel related per day. And slowly

grow your testimony. A talk or ensign article or scriptures.

Start your day off with prayer. I can testify that as you do these

things you will be happier and you will find more joy in life. As

Christmas gets close I wish all back home a merry Christmas. Hope you

all stay safe. Stay warm. And of course have loads of fun!

Scripture of the week Matthew 10:39.  Enjoy your week everyone!!!! Also

I thank all who have supported me and uplifted me and influenced me to

serve a mission. I know this is where I am needed and I know this is

where I need to be. Thank you.

With love,
