Christmas Day, 2012

     Well to start off this E-mail ive got some good and some bad news. Lets start with the bad news. Im not sure how some of you somehow got the message that i will be able to call home today, because that is actually not true. Sadly. I really wish i could though!! but think how crazy it would be if all 2031 of us missionaries called home today. I just dont think that would have worked. So, the only time i will be able to call you for the next little while, is when im in the airport on my way to tahiti. Sorry! Alrighty now onto the good news. So this last sunday I got called to be the District leader! of course it was a huge surprise to me, and probably to all of the other Elders, but Im going to do my, as always to serve to the best of my abilities. I got this calling for a reason (which im still praying for a confirmation) but the presidency here said that that they felt after much praying and thinking, that i was to be the next district leader. What a great blessing! And an awesome gift for this Christmas season! Christmas here at the MTC is completely different than i thought it was going to be. Everyone is so happy, the spirit is so strong and the talks are amazing as always. This morning Russel M. Nelson came and spoke with us. I felt that his talk was mostly focused on the new 18 and 19 year old missionaries, its crazy that there are already some missionaries that age here! The MTC is becoming packed! Meals are crazy now and it takes forever to get your food. Scary to think that the wave of new missionaries hasnt even started yet! hopefully i wont be here when that happens. We start tahitian tomorrow i believe and i am very excited. The mission presidents nephew Elder Sinjoeux is on the bottom floor of my building and ive had the priveledge to become good friends with him. He is extremely nice, and i get to help him with his english while he helps me with french and tahitian! I finished the book of mormon last night and Ive gained a huge testimony of that book. I know its true, There is no doubt in my mind that avery single word in the book is a gift from our heavenly father. I will have to write more letters to make up for this small email but sadly my p-day fell upon christmas. So i dont have much time at all today for my normal p-day stuff! Thank you all for the letters and gifts, this is definitely my favorite christmas so far. Im so blessed to be serving my Heavenly father. Im honered to give him the gift of my will this Christmas, and serve his other children. I love you all soo much! please be safe out there! Ua here vau ya oe! (I love you) A fiatoito (Stay Active)       Elder Fyffe
