Happy Christmas Eve!!!


December 24, 2012

I don't have much time to email today, but I'll hit on all the sweet points this week!
Missionaries always have trashed shirts and pants and I never understood why, but this week I found out! I got to go on exchanges to an English bike area and it was super fun! All went well until right around 8:30. Then all of a sudden it started raining like crazy! We were flying down the sidewalk on our bikes, mud flying everywhere, covering our eyes from the rain, and praying that our scriptures weren't soaked!! It was a typical Texas rain!!! We finally got into a gas station and put our materials in plastic bags and set out again. It was fun and I was tired at the end of the day, but I don't think that tie or shirt will ever be the same again!
A huge blessing that came this week is that Juan is going to be able to come to church soon!!! It's almost impossible for people like him that work in restaurants to get work off on Sunday consistently, and he's been trying forever to just get a single Sunday free so he can come to church. Turns out this week he talked to his boss' boss (who happens to be a member!!!) and in about a month he's going to be able to get EVERY Sunday off!!!!!
I know I'm not with y'all this Christmas season, but I wouldn't replace the joy I got to feel with Juan in that moment for anything!!! I am so grateful for Jesus and the chance we have this time of year to think of him and to help others. I love you all!!!!!
God Bless Texas! I am Elder Black. Thus I end mine epistle.
