Merry Christmas

I didn't expect to be able to write but here I am!!! Merry Christmas one and all. Today is a wonderful day to be here and to be able to celebrate one of the most important events of the world.

Today we got to hear from Elder Nelson and his wife. They were very good. Sister Nelson took most of the time and she talked about spiritual gifts and how to obtain them. She said that we have to have more than an ambition and a want but that we need a burning desire and are willing to put everything that we have to receive it. We have to work and put all or heart, might, mind and strength into obtaining them.

Elder Nelson gave us advise for the mission. He said that we need to make friends with the ward mission leader as well as the ward family history coordinator.

We will be hearing from Greg Olson later today. The spirit is so strong here today. You know that Christ did come down and that today is special. We all know that we are in the right spot and that we are doing His will. No one complains but everyone rejoices in being here on this day.

I love you all and hope you are having a Merry Christmas.

Love,

Elder Nielsen
