It is hard to believe that the holidays are over and it is time to head back to work and school. Our family had a great Christmas, made even better by the phone call from Bryan. We were able to talk to him for an hour and a half, and were sad to have to say goodbye! He is loving his mission and the people of Virginia. He as had one baptism, and has truly dedicated himself to serving the Lord. It was so neat to hear his voice and feel of his excitement for the gospel and missionary work.
The members had he and his companion over for Christmas Eve and two families had them over on Christmas day. Having him gone for Christmas was made much easier because of the sweet members who opened their hearts and homes to him.
Focusing on the true meaning of Christmas was much easier with a missionary in the field. Keeping Christ as our focal point throught the new year will be our goal. Having Bryan serve his mission has truly helped us all remember the real meaning of life!
