MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

I love you all so much! Thank you all for the wonderful gifts and letters, I can really feel the love and it warms my heart even in the depths of winter! All right, time for a thank you list… Mom and Dad thank you for the shoes (I really needed them) and for all the packages they are all sitting under our make shift Christmas tree… St. George clan thank you for the letters and the goodies, the letters filled my spirit and the goodies filled my belly :)… Zurflueh clan thank you for the HUGE package, I was able to get it this Tuesday, I got all the goodies and that little tree is really cool… £$”%$£^ clan thank you for the love and the letters and the package… Huston clan thank you for not being mad that I didn’t get you anything but I will get you guys some stuff, so don’t sell it on E-Bay! And thank you for the letters, pictures, prayers, and love… Chelsey thank you for the letter and those jokes are probably the nerdiest things that I have ever read, but they made me giggle. Overall, thank you all for making winter wonderful.

Now, I can’t believe that it snowed in Las Vegas! So much so that they actually had to close down school! That had to be the coolest thing ever for the Las Vegas munchkins! And I also can’t believe that Chelsey had her flight cancelled, flew to Dallas, and they lost Katie dog along the way! But just like any good mom Chelsey persevered and Katie dog was located :). And as for animals it would seem that Jack is enjoying his holiday season and that Jenni is beginning to develop a love for the great Charlie the Chinchilla (which I knew would happen eventually because you can’t not love Charlie :))! And as for the Huston McKenna’s it would seem that the filming spirit stays strong as the relief society is thinking about what kind of movie they can do! (yes, everyone is making movies!). Overall, everyone just seems very busy with the holidays (just like everyone I stop on the street :( ) and excited for Santa Clause to pay everyone a visit!

As for Christmas over here on this side of the pond I will be spending it with, crazy members, fun missionaries, and lots of holiday food :). The best thing this Christmas will be opening all of your presents, but the next best thing will be watching the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, BOTH OF THEM! The mission president is allowing us to watch The Lion the Witch and Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, National Treasure one and two, Miracle of 31st street, polar express, and all 3 of the work and the glory! It is going to be the coolest Christmas EVER! I haven’t even seen Prince Caspian (since it came out while I was on a mission)! I am so excited I can’t even stand it the one thing that I miss the third most (family and friends being the first two) is MOVIES and now I get to watch some! IT IS AWSOME! But that is my Christmas and New Years goal… to watch all of those movies on the days that the mission president is going to
allow it (which is Dec. 24, 25, 26 (which is Boxing Day in England), 31, and Jan. 1)!!!!!!!!! IT IS SO ACE! So basically all of my plans for the Holidays is to make sure that I see every single one of those movies! and you know what, even though I get to have all of these wonderful things I have to admit that there is nothing better then serving Jesus Chirst and our Father in Heaven! They do live and love us and this is why we celebrate this time of year... we celebrate Chirst's birth because of his life and what a life he lived! Well, I love You all and I hope you have a merry little Christmas!

P.S. The Christmas call will be at 3 o’clock in England so I think that is like 7 or 8 in Utah, so I’ll call Timette’s number! I look forward to speaking to you all!
