I'm pretty sad that I'm
leaving. We had made some amazing progress with all of our investigators and
brought a couple less active families closer to activity than ever before. The
area really is taking off, and it's sad that I will miss the harvest.
Many people were sad that I
was leaving, but I was able to deliver the Christmas presents that mom sent to
me to pretty much everyone. Many were glad to receive those gifts. One ward
member, Sister Dreksel, said that she had never been given a gift by a
missionary in the ward. It was really sweet. The bishop told me that I give the
most powerful spiritual thoughts of any missionary he's ever seen. It’s great
to hear all of these compliments and know that so many people in the ward did
appreciate my service there. But I am sad that I am leaving. It was a wonderful
experience to say the least.
We had the ward Christmas
party last Saturday and we were able to get a lot of people to attend there. It
was a very successful event. I will let you all know where I am and whatever
news I can share with you. Merry Christmas.
Elder Bringhurst
