Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Well this is the
second Thanksgiving I have had with Elder Te'o! Last year up in Salmon and now
here in Burley. We ate a ton! Also road a tandem bike (two-seater bike), played
chimes with a family, colored and drew turkeys and also played basketball to
work off all the fat! Being here in Idaho we are super blessed with all that
the people provide for us. Lemme tell you we don't go hungry! (Don't worry
mom). Honestly I am so grateful for all the people out here in Idaho that take
care of us missionaries. We feel the love from all of our ward members and even
people not of our faith because they know that our purpose is to invite others
unto Christ and to help people live better lives.
We had a super
fun time with the Heisingers this week because we got to have dinner with them!
We shared with them the "He is the Gift" initiative that the church
is doing this Christmas season. I really love this video and the message that
is shared because it focuses Jesus Christ at the center of Christmas as it
should always be! Without Christ, "Christ"mas wouldn't even exist and
without Him none of us would be able to return to live with our Father in
Heaven. That is why He is the greatest gift of them all :) Here is the website
to see the video and the #ShareTheGift! http://www.mormon.org/christmas
With the holidays
it was a little hard to see people because of family in town and other things
but we are expecting this week to visit everyone we can and to share the
simple, yet amazing message of Jesus Christ :) Tis' the Season!! Enjoy the
first bit of the Christmas Season everyone!
-Love, Elder
Howard
