TRANSFERRED!

Kierstan was transferred this week and is now, once again, in LIVERPOOL! She is also part of a Trio companionship with Sister Hulet and Sister Maughn. She said President Bullock called her to tell her she would be returning to liverpool and would be part of the Trio and that he didn't know why, but the Lord needed her there for a specific purpose. It will be interesting to find out how things go and if she is ment to once again work with Marie, the investigator that she had to leave behind last time. Good Times!! :)

Bitter Sweet Times

Last week we sent Kierstan's grandmother (my mother) back to her Heavenly Father. Kierstan was so sad to receive this news and wrote a song that I would like to share with you. It is a tribute to her grandmother and an expression of her faith in Our Savior Jesus Christ.

HOLD ON TO HIS LIGHT

Born in this world, with troubles and strife.
From a place full of love and the Lord's glorious light.

The Gospel you heard, a tune so familiar.
You followed your heart, becoming peculiar.

CHORUS:
Hold on to His light, hold on to His love
Hold on because He knows you, He is always there.

A treasure you held, the warmth burning bright.
A gift full of love, you are always in His sight.

From gthe years came your strength, you standard never changed.
You taught the Gospel well, and the whispering spirit sang.

CHORUS:



You fought a good fight, you faith weas strong.
Though you left your body here, I know you still live on.

Into Heaven you have gone, clothed magnificently in white
The mediator stands, Your Savior, you never lost sight.

CHORUS:

Merry Christmas! :)

After this last transfer Kierstan is still in Oldham with Sister Jones as her companion. They have had snow and cold weather and a wonderful baptism to go along with it. She sends her love and Christmas Wishes to all her friends and family. Kierstan will be calling at 11:00am on Christmas so we are looking forward to hearing her voice (probably with an accent) for the first time since she left in May! Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

Kierstan in Oldham!

Part of the Town of Oldham

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope all of you have a wonderful day filled with reasons to be grateful! And if my missionary is reading this (by some miracle) Happy Thanksgiving my darling! I love you :)

Big Thank You!

Thanks to everyone who gave me something for Kierstan's Christmas package, it is much appreciated! Also thanks to those who are mailing gifts separately or sending a birthday card. I sent her a card last week but forgot to mention it in my email to her this past Monday. She didn't forget to remind me that she is having a birthday on the 23rd so I hope she has her card before her birthday or she will for sure think I forgot. I am looking forward to the Holiday's with a missionary serving. I keep thinking that I should be sad, or miss her terribly bad, but somehow knowing that she is serving our Heavenly Father takes away the worst of the emotions and just brings a wonderful Peace to my heart. I think that this will somehow be one of the best Thanksgiving's and Christmas's our family has ever had! Happy Holidays to all of you!!
