(Elder S.) Christmas week!

It's already Christmas week? Time goes quick! We have a lot of awesome
things going on here in the Yachiyo/Narita district! So I get to
interview the baptism candidates who are being taught in my district
and I've had 3 interviews in the past 2 weeks, all passed! One lady
has already been baptized and was confirmed on Sunday. Two of them are
being baptized this coming Saturday! Andddd our investigator Takano
has a date for Christmas!! He's still looking good! He's being
interviewed by our zone leader tomorrow. He's been an investigator for
over a year now and has had a lot of things we've had to work through,
but we're so excited. Prayers for him! Our investigator Kaito left for
the Philippines yesterday for 3 weeks. We taught him how to find
church buildings and so he's gonna find a church he can go to on
Sundays. We also challenged him to read all of 1 Nephi while he's
gone. He's awesome!

Our mission right now has a big focus on consecration. Miracles are
wrought upon faith and obedience! I'm lovin' it! President and Sister
Nagano are awesome, and so funny.

So I'll be skyping on the 26th (25th for you) at 9am. You can find
out what time that will be for you guys. I'm looking forward to
talking with all of you!

Let's remember this Christmas what Christmas is actually about. My
testimony has grown so much deeper over the past few weeks from
teaching and testifying to a people who celebrate Christmas but have
no clue what it's about. I know Christ was born on this earth and
fulfilled God's plan by performing the Atonement and being
resurrected. That we will be resurrected and return to live with our
Father in Heaven again. I know He lives! Love you guys!

Love, Elder Snyder
