Merry Christmas!

Okay, I just barely realized that my letter from last week didn't
send. Sorry about that! I was basically just saying that I was being
transferred and if you send me any letters from now to the end of my
mission, just send them to 721 Paxon Hollow Rd Ste. B.  Broomall, PA
19008.

Sister Clark and I were bummed that we were being separated after just
5 weeks of serving together, but then we ended up staying together,
just moving to the Broomall ward. We already love it here!

This was a big week! We were transferred, we've fallen in love with
the area and the people, and then we travelled through 4 states in one
day to GO TO THE WASHINGTON DC TEMPLE! Donald, from my first area,
went through to get his endowment and Sister Clark and I were able to
go with him. It was the first time I've been in the temple in over a
year and it was so wonderful! And of course it was great to see the
Messado family and the McNaughtons who also came to the temple.

I feel so incredibly blessed in so many ways! This Christmas season is
just such a beautiful time of year. The feeling in the air is almost
tangible as people's hearts soften and they focus more on Christ.
Please take advantage of the new video He is the Gift and share it
with everyone you know! It is changing hearts, and hopefully all of
you are included in that :) Mine sure is! Have a Merry Christmas and
remember that I love each and every one of you for being who you are.

Love, Sister Amber Ricks
