Merry Christmas

Hey everyone,

I hope your Christmas was fantastic. We had the opportunity to go to a few members houses on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. It was cool to experience some different families' traditions. We also sang a lot of hymns at their houses. It was pretty fun because I've been playing the piano in District meeting and haven't been able to sing as much as I would've liked.

We had the opportunity to go to the Temple after a Christmas zone conference on Thursday. It was pretty awesome. I actually played the piano for a special musical number in zone conference. That was fun, but I'm glad it's over. We met a potential investigator over breakfast this last week at Boston College. It was a really good discussion, and he was pretty sincerely intrigued.

Skyping the family is always a great time. 40 minutes isn't long, but it is a wonderful opportunity I've been given to video call.

We also had the other elders in our district over on Christmas morning to open gifts and eat breakfast. I made crepes. It was pretty fun. I put together a list of scriptures of the prophecies and advent of Jesus Christ that we read beforehand. I wanted to have it be my spiritual thought for this week as well.
