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
