Week 14 Corpus Christi, Texas

Hey Mom,

I am super excited too. We will probably be calling around 3:00 or 3:30 my time, so around 1 your time. We will call you to confirm when we are ready but plan on around 1 your time.

Church was super good. Huff and I bore our testimonies and then we sang as part of the ward choir. We sang Away in a Manger, it sounded fairly good.  Then for the rest of sacramnet meeting (Huff and I took up barely any time) Bishop spoke and he gave such an amazing talk. He talked about Christmas and traditions and about how sometimes we put a lot of focus on the stuff and our scriptures get buried in 'wrapping paper' so to speak. It was an amazing talk.

The party was really good, we got mission T-shirts and we also go to watch the Last Jedi as a mission which was so cool. It was a super good party. We basically played sports all day on Monday and then Tuesday we had a little conference where President Torres talked to us about giving Christ a gift this Christmas of our time and efforts.

Basically Christmas Eve and Christmas day we will be eating food all day, so I am super excited.  That is something I have really come to learn, especially this Christmas. The stuff doesn't matter, what really matters is the family relationships we build and the things that last longer than a few months or years.

This morning we played soccer with some members in our ward, it was super fun. Not much else besides that.

Talk to you Tomorrow.
Merry Christmas!
Love, Elder Goodbaudy
