This week was Christmas and it was spectacular. I loved it and the time over here in England serving people has been great. The best part easily was the half an hour or so that I got to talk with my family.
They are so special and I am so blessed to have them in my life. I am grateful for the blessing of a family especially at Christmas Time. As we have had the chance to go caroling and do other Christmas activities, we were able to feel closer to Christ and appreciate everything He did for us. I don't want to take too much time away from everyone's celebrations, so I will keep things short.
This week was really fun and we were able to see Martina pass her interview for baptism. She is still on track to be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. We are so excited for her and
can't wait for her to take this step towards Christ.
We were able to reestablish contact with some people who have lost some of their faith in God and are excited to help them. They are still wonderful people, but they have so much more that is available to them if they turn to God. It is like that for us all. I have often been sad when people reject our offer of learning about the Savior saying that their life is good enough. If we only seek God when we have tried all else and failed, we are just like the people lived with Christ. He was there among hem and was willing to bless them immensely, but they refused to see it. They missed out on so much
healing and peace and relief in their lives. Sometimes, I think I miss out on a lot as well. I hope that we can all make that the goal of our Christmas season: to decide on the next step we can take to become more devoted in our service of the Lord.
Love you all,
Elder Pace
Tyson told me on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas)"I got a high quality suit on a killer sale from one of the nicer stores. It was £45 total and it is a classic black suit. I am glad for the chance we had to find it. I am going to try to keep it nice for a long time by only wearing it for meetings and such. It has a little bit of texture, but it is still a normal suit and is definitely still conservative in every way. Don't worry." :)
