Merry Christmas from CLOVIS


Hola todo!!

  Merry (late) Christmas!!! It was so fun to be able to skype my family yesterday, finally got all my skype calls through! So it will be fun to see them in person in 4 months. Speaking of which! I hit my 14 month mark today! WOOO. 

  Monday night was so hard because I had to say goodbye to SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE in Hereford!!! I seriously have loved serving there, and have loved serving with those members. There's just something about small towns that just gets your heart. But I'm excited to hear about more of the miracles in Hereford. 

  Clovis is so awesome! It is so overwhelming being in a ward (I know that sounds weird) but there's just so many people! I finally have over 8 priesthood holders in the area i'm serving! Also the members here are so awesome! They like WANT to help with missionary work and want to come to lessons with us! ALSO. WE HAVE DINNER APPOINTMENTS!!!! When I served in the branches I normally had like 1 or 2 a week, but here we have them almost every night! So me and my companion keep joking that we're fattening me up before I go home hahah. 

  On Thursday, we had a lesson set up with a potential (Adam & April), and we brought a member with us. Well we got there and ALL their nieces and nephews were over and I thought it was going to be so hectic, but all the kids listened and the lesson went so well!!! We were like "If the Book of Mormon is true, then what does that mean for y'all?" and the 12 year old was like "Then this is Jesus Christ's church?" This 12 year old understood better than the whole state of Texas (LOL). But it was such a powerful lesson and the spirit was so strong!!!!

  On sunday we all got together as a district, and went to Portales and went caroling! It was so fun! We handed people #LightTheWorld cards with candy canes attached to them! Funnest finding activity I've ever done!

  Life is good here, and I'm really happy with my area and companion. Sister Goodmansen is so funny! So we are loving it down here. Thanks for all the emails and letters and Christmas packages!

LOVE Y'ALL
Hermana Neilson
