Merry Christmas! Leadership Training and Christmas Activity

During the month of December we held training meetings in the North and in the South. We invited all the missionaries to attend. The training was on "How to Begin Teaching". It was amazing as to the insights that we all gained as we shared experiences that we have had and also as we continue to role play.  We also had the opportunity to hear the testimonies of those missionaries who will soon be leaving.

After the morning meeting was over a Christmas Luncheon was served by the Sparks Stake Relief Society in the North and the Tule Springs Stake Relief Society in the South.  Both lunches were wonderful.  When lunch was over we returned to the chapel.  Elder Kiaha touched all of our hearts as he sang "O Holy Night".  We then watched the movie "17 Miracles".   What an incredible movie.   President Black asked if there was anyone who would like to share a miracle that they have experienced or felt in their life.  Many missionaries shared some pretty tender feelings as they shared with us the miracles that they have experienced.  The meeting was closed as President Black and I shared some of our own experiences and feelings and we all sang Silent Night.

The Las Vegas Stake Relief Society put together bags for all 200 of the missionaires in the mission. The bags were filled with a tie for the elders and a necklace for the sisters, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a pin, two boxes of cereal, some candy, a little book of quick and easy recipes, Christmas poems and stories.  Thank you!
