Hello everyone!
We have had a great week! It sounds like it has been very
cold there. We have had some nice weather which has made it nice for
proselyting! We had a fantastic week. We stayed busy seeing a lot of people. We
are doing our best to work with the large number of part member families,
because there are a LOT of them. There are a good amount of them that come to
church regularly but have not yet decided to join the church for various
reasons. We have not had a lot of success yet with them but we are finding
success in other ways.
R-- is still doing well. He is still progressing well, but has complicated
family situations that he is trying to work out. He and his family came to our
branch Christmas social on Friday. It was great! the youth put on a Christmas
play and there was a lot of good food.
I really enjoyed the Christmas Devotional. Thank you for sharing some of
your favorite parts with me. My favorite part is when the Primary General
President said that a gift that comes to us is "what happens next". It made me
think of how thankful I am to have the ability to change. Ive found that is one
of the greatest gifts that he has given us, to learn and adapt. Ive seen a lot
of changes in myself since I've been here in North Carolina, and a lot of
changes since I've been here in Tabor City. That is probably why I love my
mission so much is because I am changing and becoming more like Christ every
day.
I hope you have a great week! Stay safe in the snow and in the cold. I hope
you all have a wonderful Christmas season.
Love Elder Mortensen
