Today is December 2. Do you know what that means? That´s right! It´s time to break out the Donny Osmond Christmas at Home album! The Best complete Christmas album ever made! If you haven´t listened to it yet, get on that. It´ll change your life.
It was a good week this week. We worked hard. No progressing investigators though - I have learned that our faith and our desire really make a difference on the work. If you want to have success, you have to desire it for the right reasons. We are looking forward to a great week this week.
We had an amazing leadership council with Pres. and Sister Fortunato this past week. It was very inspirational. To hear Pres. bear testimony of the divinity of the work and the existence of God was a great honor for me. I can´t tell you how grateful I am to be serving with Pres. Fortunato. Ever since I have met him, I have felt that he truly was called of God to lead this mission. I felt that again this past week as we met and discussed the direction of the mission.
Elder Wensel is going home next week. This is his last week in the field. He is a good misisonary and I am glad that I have been able to get to know him.
We are in BH today for another practice for the Christmas Conference. I will be narrating parts of the program as well now. Yikes. Haha, seriously though I am really excited and anxious to do well.
I love the gospel. The gospel is the only thing that I know of that tells you what you are doing wrong and need to improve while at the same time giving you the hope, courage and desrie to make those improvements. It isn´t easy to be a member of the Church, but it is worth it. I have learned to not give up and get discouraged when you are reminded how mortal you are. You just keep being humble and the blessings and the miracles will come.
I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
Start wrapping the presents!
Start hanging the lights!
Start makin´ a list,
and checkin´ it twice.
Start hanging the holly and the mistletoe oh oh oh,
And off I go,
Back to where I used to be!
Something ´bout Christmas,
Brings out the kid in me!
Elder Jacob
