Merry Christmas to everyone!
This time of year has always been my favorite! We get to focus on not only the baby Jesus Christ, but that He is Jesus The Living Christ! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year :)
Soooo I got transferred. I am now in Aliso Viejo, which is a super nice area just north (I think) of Laguna Niguel. I am back in the blessed Orange county.
My two companions are Elder Ward and Elder Gregory.
They are two stud missionaries from really small towns in Idaho. They are my two favorite hicks, haha. When we aren't talking about the Gospel they are talking about 1 of 4 things: hunting, guns, horses, and trucks. Literally that is all they talk about 
. I try not to laugh when they stare at trucks in awe and say "dang." Now say that again in your head like you're from Idaho. Haha, it's awesome!
This past week was good! It was slower on the teaching side of things but we had a lot of service! The Laguna Niguel stake puts on this thing every year called "The chalk walk." They use one of the church building's parking lot and they have a bunch of different people set up these amazing art pieces made from chalk. They are absolutely amazing haha. I'll send a couple of pictures.
We are also teaching this awesome lady named Sabina!! She has a baptismal date for January 2nd! And she is absolutely Golden, she loves everything we teach her and her understanding of Gospel topics is amazing! I'm using a lot of exclamation points but oh well. Anyway we are super excited for her.
The ward here is super awesome. The members are loading us up with food and it's just a great area.
Jesus Christ truly is the greatest gift of Christmas! He is the gift that I will be eternally grateful for. Take some time to ponder all He has done for you and think of something you can give to Him, or give up for Him. He truly is the light and life of the world!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
