SANTA'S ELF

IT ALL STARTED WITH MY SISTER, SHE TOLD ME ABOUT A ELF, THIS ELF COMES TO YOUR HOME DEC 1ST, HE IS A ELF THAT WATCHE'S YOUR KID'S IT IS TO TRY AND HELP YOUR KID'S BE GOOD, HE LEAVES FUN LITTLE GIFT'S SOMEDAY'S. HE THEN REPORTS BACK TO THE NORTH POLE EVERY DAY, HE IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, MY SIS HAS A CUTE LETTER THAT YOU READ TO YOUR KID'S, SO WHEN I SAW MY SIS ELF, I TOLD MY MOM I NEEDED TO FIND A ELF, AS MOST OF YOU HAVE BEEN SHOPPING A ELF IS HARD TO FIND, SO ON FRIDAY WE WENT TO THE NIELSEN FAMILY PARTY(ON MY MOM'S SIDE), THERE SITTING ON THE TABLE'S WERE THE CUTIES ELF'S YOU HAVE SEEN, OF COURSE MY VERY TALENTED AUNT AND HER DAUGHTER, AND DAUGHTER IN LAW'S MADE THEM, I TOLD THEM I WANTED TO BUY ONE OFF THEM, THEY SAID YOU CAN MAKE ONE, I KEEP JOKING SAYING IF ONE'S MISSING I DIDN'T TAKE IT. SO TEMPTING, SO TODAY ME AND MY MOM WERE RUNNING OUR LAST CHRISTMAS ERINS, I KEEP TELLING HER WE NEED TO FIND A ELF SHE SAID OK, THEY ARE HARD TO FIND, I TOLD HER I WOULD LIKE TO TRY A STORE IN FRUIT HEIGHT'S, SHE SAID YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE THAT FAR FOR A ELF, JUST TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ONE, I TOLD HER YES, SO WE LEFT IT AT THAT, SO TONIGHT I GOT IN THE BATH TUB AND JOSH HE FELL A SLEEP ON THE COUCH, I WENT TO TURN OFF MY LIGHT'S OUT SIDE AND THERE WAS THIS ELF IN GREEN WRAP, I PUT IT DOWN AND WENT IN TO MY KITCHEN AND SAID I HOPE THAT'S A ELF, I WAS JUST SAYING IT JOKING SO THEN I WENT IN AND I SAW A TAG THAT READ TO: EMILY, FROM: SANTA'S ELF, OK I STARTED CRYING AS I SAW WHAT WAS IN THIS GREEN WRAP IT WAS A ELF, COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYE'S NOT ONLY WAS IT A ELF BUT IT WAS THE ONE THAT MY AUNT AND HER FAMILY MADE ALONG WITH THE PATTERN, SO IF I WANT I CAN MAKE MORE CUTE ELF'S, I JUST WANT TO SAY YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMETHING YOU DO WILL MAKE SOMEONES DAY, BOY DID IT MAKE MY DAY, AND NIGHT I CAN NOT STOP CRYING, I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND FUNNY BUT I TREASURE THING'S LIKE THIS, I CALLED MY MOM CRYING SHE THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG EITHER JOSH OR ZAK, I TOLD HER I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS STORY, AND SOME DAY WHEN MY KID'S ARE OLDER, I WILL TELL THEM THE STORY ABOUT THIS CUTE ELF, I WILL ALSO KEEP THE TAG THAT WAS WITH IT. I JUST WANT MY AUNT AND UNCLE TO KNOW THAT I AM THANKFUL TOR THEM AND FOR THE THOUGHTFUL THING THEY DID, THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT, I KNOW THAT THESE ELF'S TOOK UP A LOT OF TIME, BUT AGAIN I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE MY ELF, AND REMEMBER MY AUNT AND UNCLE SELFLESS LOVE, I HOPE EVEY ONE HAS A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND REMEMBER THAT WE ARE SO BLESSED, REMEMBER THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.......

NEW CALLING!!!

A COUPLE WEEK'S AGO, I GOT A CALL SAYING WE WANT TO MEET WITH YOU, I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE CALL WAS FOR JOSH BUT IT WAS NOT, IT WAS FOR ME I WAS CALLED TO BE THE FIRST COUNSELOR IN THE PRIMARY, OF COURSE I TOOK THE CALLING, WHEN I LEFT I TOLD JOSH THAT I WAS SCARED TO DO SHARING TIME, I DON'T LIKE GETTING UP AND TALKING TO LARGE GROUP'S OF PEOPLE, BUT THEN I LOOKED AT IT, THAT I WOULD BE TEACHING THE LORD'S CHOICE SON'S AND DAUGHTER ABOUT THE GOSPEL, AND ABOUT OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, I FOUND A SAYING THAT SOME ONE HAD GIVEN ME IN MY SCRIPTURE'S THAT SAY "THE LORD CAN DO REMARKABLE MIRACLES WITH A PERSON OF ORDINARY ABILITY WHO IS HUMBLE, FAITHFUL, AND DILIGENT IN SERVING THE LORD AND WHO SEEKS TO IMPROVE HIMSELF" JAMES E FAUST. I LOVE THAT. I KNOW THAT THE SWEET CHILDREN TODAY HAVE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE GOSPEL, I KNOW THAT I WILL TRY AND HELP BETTER MY KNOWLEDGE AS I SERVE THE 8TH WARD PRIMARY CHILDREN, I AM THANKFUL THAT MY HEAVENLY FATHER HAS GIVEN ME THIS CALL, I HOPE, AND PRAY THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH THEM, MY LOVE THAT I HAVE FOR MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

"GIVING, NOT GETTING, BRINGS TO FULL BLOOM THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. ENEMIES ARE FORGIVEN, FRIENDS REMEMBERED, AND GOD OBEYED. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS ILLUMINATES THE PICTURE WINDOW OF THE SOUL, AND WE LOOK OUT UPON THE WORLD'S BUSY LIFE AND BECOME MORE INTERESTED IN PEOPLE THAN THINGS. TO CATCH THE REAL MEANING OF THE "SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS" WE NEED ONLY DROP THE LAST SYLLABLE, AND IT BECOMES THE "SPIRIT OF CHRIST".
PRESIDENT THOMAS S MONSON
