packages and letters I got for Christmas

Whats up, family. We had Stake conference this week by satellite and it was great. We got there a little late, but we still got to hear 3 and a half talks. Elder Scott spoke, he speaks Spanish and so that was nice not having to battle through the voice over. He spoke about virtue, and he used an excellent example of a light bulb as a child of God= protected inside is a noble gasthat creates the perfect environment so that, when connected to the correct Source, offers light to all. But he made mension that the fragile glass protection, as the Spirit, can be easily destroyed, or chased away, if not well cared for. Then Pres. Monson spoke (he doesnt speak Spanish) and it was awesome. He testified of the Atonement and begon to speak of our own homes as houses of prayer, fasting, love, instruccion, order, and one of God. It was great! At the conference, I got a lot of letters. From Shelli Tolman, Lauren Rutledge, BEN BURKE!, alot from the Powder Springs and Ammon stakes, and GyG Tolman(ya÷ll look great!). We found two investigators of Gold a week or so ago. Pray for them, Bianca and Luís. We have a big family and the mother is having trouble commmiting to go to church, her name is Cèlida Blanco. If she decides not to go then her 5 children wont progress ( Selena, Yohanna, Evangelina, Sandra, Yessenia) and they have all already gone. Please pray for them. The Diaz Lizarraga Family are golden as well, but the mother has trouble reading and does not own a pair of glasses. Pray for them. And Pilar prayed, recieved the answer, and began reading the BoM before she ever met missionaries. But her schedule is not that easy and some members of her family are not ecstatic that we are there. Pray for her, please. I sure love you all. Could someone please do me the favor of sending me a copy (email is fine) of Elder Bednar`s talk on tongues of angels and also of not taking offense, please? In Spanish would be nice... Josh, would you send me that paper you wrote on you mission yet¡!¿? Tell Sarah congrats on her stage work! I`ll be excited to hear all about it later. I love you all very much!

The Mom Song

Apparently, this was so well done by "Patti" that when the original singer and comedian Anita Renfroe saw it plastered all over cyberspace, she asked the Northland church to remove it from their website. Sorry if you missed it! It was a classic!
