Merry Christmas!

Hello Everyone! Well time has just flown by and now its Christmas time! CRAZY! Florence has been awesome, it seems like everyday we just run into a member who isn't on our roster or we find a new place to look for people to teach. There has been one bad thing about Florence aka Flo town, its way way way cold and it rains too much. 35 degrees and rain dont mix when your tracting. Other then the rain i love it here. We will be doing alot of less active work because of the high inactivity rate in this ward and i know that as we do that teaching opportunities will come. Im just really excited to be in this area. This week is going to be pretty busy with Christmas coming and we have a member meal 4 nights this week. And Friday and Saturday night we wont tract, we will go CAROLING! haha okay maybe im not too excited to do that, but we will make it fun. But my spiritual thought for this Christmas is that i want everyone to get their hymnbooks and look up "I heard the bells on Christmas day" and read the lyrics from that song. Its AMAZING. I know that this work is the most important work in the world, the Book of Mormon is the word of God, and Joseph Smith is his prophet. Christ lives, he is our savior and redeemer, and i hope all of you have an amazing Christmas, i Love all of you and I leave these thing with you in the name a Jesus Christ, Amen. - Elder J. Hancock
