"Whoso receiveth you there I will be also": December 25 Happy Christmas!

Howdy y'all folks! I totally forgot to write last week haha. I thought I did but uhh. Woopsie. Thanks for all the loots by the way! The ward sent cards and stuff so it was really cool to read all of them. I haven't opened any of the gifts or anything yet though. That's for tomorrow. But uhhh. These past weeks have been freakin wild. We had zone conference and other junk. It was really cool haha. I have the dopest christmas sweater. It's an elf in a baby carrier. Hehehe. I'll get a picture. But it was really cool. We got to be with 2 other zones so I got to see a whole bunch a people. We also watched the fighting preacher. It's really good. But we drove down to marksville and then to baton rouge for it. And then we went back to marksville and drove home. But then we were only back for saturday and sunday before we drove down to alexandria and have been here for exchanges and stuff. So we will be going back up to Natchez on Christmas and then were gonna be coming back down on thursday for district council haha. So we've got too much traveling going on right now. Alright its christmas. So we drove back up here from uh. Alexandria. We ate breakfast with the kerrs and our district. It was nice to all be together for Christmas. We drove back here to natchez after that and I got to call home for a bit. We just got back from eating with some nonmembers. They are too kind to us hahah. They gave us some candy and things for christmas which was awesome. Also mark made funeral potatoes hahaha. I gave him the recipe and they were like "the mormons are keeping delicious secret potato recipes from us." And I was like uhhh. No. But it was a fun time haha. I've enjoyed all the things and the cards I've gotten. Theres been some wicked cold going around so I'm hoping i dont get sick. Its spreading all around the south i guess. But uhhhm yeah. Nothing too crazy this week. Just a ton of traveling. Aight gotta blast.

Ps scripture time: Mosiah 5: 7-9

7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.

8 And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.

9 And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by which he is called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.

I was reading this and I was like YOOOOOO. Idk how I never noticed it before. Good stuff. Alrighty then Happy Christmas!
