the season starts


Justify FullLast night the Christmas season began in the most wonderful way it could! Dad and I invited Jerry and Irene Conroy over for a Christmas message. After visiting with them and catching up on all the changes they are about to embark on, dad explained the concept of FHE briefly and shared with them a short Christmas story. He then added his own witness of the importance of remembering Christ this season. We gave them a C/D of Mormon Tab. Christmas music and a B of M with our testimonies written in it. The Spirit was one of peace and friendship. They were very excited to recieve the book and acted as if they would surely read it. Irene made the comment that she had some misgivings about Mormons from living in New Zealand, but since spending time with our family and attending activities with us at church she has a brand new feeling for the Mormons. She loves the people she has met and the emphasis on family shown by the Kelley's. I was very proud of your father last night!
Merry Christmas. We can't wait to be together soon for this wonderful celebration.
Mom

It's so great that you guys are making such wonderful friends with them. They were such nice people and I can't wait to see how their lives change through your example. They will be in my prayers so they might feel the spirit's whisperings. We are getting more and more excited to see you guys!
