Christmas came early this year! We received 22
missionaries this week. Twenty new, one returning and one on a three month
assignment from Salt Lake Temple Square.
They are hopefully sound asleep from the long day of travel,
those coming from the Mexico City MTC were up at 3:30 this morning and
the Provo group didn’t get much more sleep than that.
We are so excited that they are here and can’t wait to get to
know them. December is a fabulous time to be starting a mission—everyone
already is thinking of the Savior—or at least His birth, so talking to everyone
is a bit more natural.
Tonight President Hall will prayerfully seek revelation as to
who will be their trainer and first companion. As you pray for your
missionary, pray also for his/her companion.
As it is Christmas time, you may be wondering what missionaries
want for Christmas. Missionaries want missionary work to be important to
you. Pray everyday for your own missionary experiences, for your own
courage at living the gospel “out loud.” They will have the opportunity
to Skype or call on Christmas, tell them of your missionary efforts—let them
know how proud you are of them.
They did have a chance to write an actual letter today, and next
Monday they will be back to email.
Thank you for sending the Great California San Fernando Mission
your children.
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Sister Hall
