DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS JAN 4, 2012,
SISTER HUDSON HAS BEEN AFTER ME TO SEND A NEWS LETTER FOR SOME TIME NOW SO HERE WE GO. I WILL COVER THE LAST THREE WEEKS OF THE YEAR WITH THINGS THAT SOUND SO FAMILIAR THAT I WILL JUST HIT THEM AND MOVE INTO THE NEW YEAR. I WILL SEND A PICTURE THAT IS WORTH A MILLION WORDS. AFTER THE ZONE CONFERENCE WHICH SISTER HUDSON WROTE ABOUT WE HAVE COMPLETED THE WATER PROJECT (NOT ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THAT), WE HAD TRANSFERS, HAD A ZONE MEETING, CHRISTMAS IN LADYSMITH BRANCH, ELDERS HERE FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER AND SOME FUN WITH GIFTS, ELDER MYERS IN THE HOSPITAL OVER CHRISTMAS AND HELPED HIM RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM HIS FAMILY. ELDER MYERS IS AT LONG LAST GOING TO LIVE AND IS BACK IN THE WORK. WE DID NEW YEARS AT DUNDEE BRANCH AND HERE WE ARE.
THE WEATHER IS HOT, HOT, HOT, AND NOT MUCH RAIN YET. SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER BREAK (I KNOW THAT SOUNDS FUNNY) SO WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY KEYBOARD LESSONS AND WON'T FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. THE LATEST IS WE HAVE TO CUT BACK ON OUR K'S (MILES) SO WILL HAVE TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS WITH TEACHING.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. THANKS TO ALL THAT SENT GREETINGS OUR WAY AND OUR THOUGHT WERE OF HOME.
I MUST TELL YOU OF ONE EXPERIENCE WE HAD WITH THE ELDERS, THEY GOT PERMISSION TO SKYPE WITH THERE FAMILIES ON CHRISTMAS DAY (ONLY TWO CALLS A YEAR), SO THEY EACH HAD A TIME SET UP WITH THEIR FAMILIES AS TO WHEN TO SKYPE. THE ELDERS CAME ABOUT AN HOUR EARLY AND SAT AROUND TALKING ABOUT HOME. IT WAS LIKE A MATURITY WARD AT THE HOSPITAL EXPECTING THERE PHONE CALL, PACING THE FLOOR AND LOOKING AT THE CLOCK, GLAD WE COULD BE THERE FOR THEM.
IT HAS BEEN SUCH A JOY THIS PAST YEAR AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT, PRAYERS,THOUGHTS AND LOVE.
ELDER AND SISTER HUDSON
