Hey Family,

I remember what happened after Thanksgiving but it would be better to tell on the phone rather.

Thanks for all the Christmas gifts! It's been a fun and good Christmas. I love ya'll guys!

I've been memorizing scriptures lately... well actually Elder Trease was pretty sick Friday so I finished reading The Book of Mormon the second time, read through the Conference Ensign and memorized some scriptures. I memorized Moroni 7: 45-47 saying:
"And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
"Wherefore, my beloved bretheren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, for it is the greatest of all, for all things must fail.
"But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever. And whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him."

"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and all men. Wherefore, if ye press forward, feasting upon the words of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father; ye shall have eternal life" (Mosiah something).

Love ya'll have a happy new year!
