Dear family,
This will be a shorter email because my
companion injured his knee, and we were in the doctor’s office during some of
our computer time. Luckily it’s nothing too bad. Life here is good. I've made
lots of good friends. So today I did laundry and went to the temple. Then I got
a haircut and played Frisbee. So that’s about it for today.
Okay, so Christmas Eve we had a bunch of
singing and stuff, which was great. On Christmas morning all the
senior missionaries came down and sang to us and we sang back to them. They
gave us little gift baskets, which was super nice. We had French toast for
breakfast and that was super good. We had an awesome devotional from a seventy,
named Elder Cornish. He has a 29-year old son named Reed who has Down syndrome. He is incredibly high functioning and he
played sports with us! Anyway, then we had lunch and another devotional by the
area 70 and his family. It was super sweet. Then more singing and dinner. After
dinner, we had the best devotional of my life by David A. Bednar. It was a live
broadcast from the Provo MTC. Dad, I really think you should find it and show
it to new missionaries or even the priest quorum. It answered like a dozen
different prayers I've been having!!! Anyway, then we did a white elephant gift
exchange where I got an air horn. It might be useful out in the field, but I
don’t think I can use it in the MTC... I’m out numbered in here! We finished the day with Christ videos. It was a super
awesome day!!
I
just wanted to let you all know how much you mean to me. Dad you are my
inspiration and my biggest fan. Thank you! Mom, all you did for back home means
the world to me now that I'm away. I love you so much! Jake, you are my role
model. Thank you for being my big brother! Owen, I miss my best friend. Stay
strong buddy! Mary, I love you sooo much. Make sure you don't get too sassy!
And Henry, stay happy buddy. You are the coolest kid ever! Merry Christmas
everybody.
Love you so much!
Elder Stark
