Its Christmas already?! This past week we were able to celebrate Christmas as a zone and we did a white elephant and played games and ate raw fish and beef together; we had a blast. I would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas. On my mission I have really been able to appreciate the real meaning of Christmas. I am extremely grateful for our savior Jesus Christ and for this time to show him our love and appreciation. Through service we can help others feel Christ's love for them. If any of you have friends that you think would be interested in the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ of the please don't hesitate to contact the missionaries. That would be the best gift to receive or give this holiday season. Thanks for all your prayers and support and I pray that everyone will have a great Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone!

This is Tepoihere. She is 9 and lives in the Tuamotu islands (islands really far away without a church on it). She came here to Raiatea so she could get baptized se we had the honors to prepare her for her baptism. She was baptized by her grandpa on the left. ​
