Christmas Eve 2012

Dear Loved Ones,

Okay, so no package yet... BUT I am happy to hear that my 4th class package is on its way and is here in good ole AAAA! Mom, I have to tell you about Saturday night... I said a prayer (and have been saying many prayers since then of the like manner) that you would be at peace about my package. To be completely honest, I am perfectly alright if it doesn't get here by today. 

I am happy in knowing you still spent all that time and effort making my package for me, and the presents are nothing big compared to the love that went into it all. I told Sister [Cindy] to tell you not to worry (I knew you would be worrying!) and that I am happy even without it yet! The Lord is taking care of me. I'm doing alright :) But I still need to check the mail because it hasn't' come.... yet....! Haha!  

But please know that the BEST thing about this Christmas will be talking to all of you! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!! I am so looking forward to it and I'm counting down the hours!! I need to see you :) I am so excited!! 

Here's a song my companion and I wrote
(sung to the tune of "Walkin' in a winter wonderland")

 

"Doorbells ring! Are they listenin'? 

No they ain't... we'll knock again!

A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight!
Preachin' in a desert palm-tree land!

Gone away are the cold nights, 

here to stay is the sunshine!
We sing of Christ's song, as we go along...

Preachin' in a desert palm tree land!

In the meadow we can build a rock man,

and pretend that he is made of snow!

We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Rockman!
Until those silly antis knock him down!

Later on we'll perspire...

as we melt in sunfire!

We won't be afraid of the plans antis made...

Preachin' in a desert palm tree land!

Oh the heat...it's a 'killin'..

But when inside, you're a chillin'!

We'll teach all the day, the missionary way!

Preachin'....in a desert.... PALM TREE LAND!!"

yes. It's a Sister Moore original! ;D

This week has been better for us. I am just happy that I am able to see you all and hear from you. Yesterday in church I felt so at peace, and felt the Spirit so strong. I know that Christ was born for US. He came and lived a perfect life for US! He cares about us and loves us so much that we can't even begin to comprehend the magnitude of His precious love. I love my Savior. I love that He has descended below all to help us return to our Father in Heaven. I love Him with all my heart, and I love my Heavenly Father! 

This Gospel blesses lives. It has immensely blessed mine. 

I LOVE YOU!!! SEE YOU TOMORROW!!! :D :D :D

LOVE, 

Sister Moore!
