Happy Christmas everyone! Missionaries in the MTC don't get to call home on Christmas, but it seems they get an extra email opportunity. What a sweet surprise.

Hello!
Just a quick email before P-Day the one time we're allowed to do so.
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the break! Say hello to Bonni's family, Robert, Grandma, Ben, and anyone else who decides to visit on Christmas :) I hope you all have a great time and remember the reason for the season.
I am doing well here, but I am looking forward to getting to the actual mission field more and more as time goes along. Nonetheless, I am grateful for the package you sent me. It was touching. I will look at the pictures often and will enjoy the treats for as long as possible because I know I won't find any as good anywhere else in the world. A special thanks to Grandma and Ben for the letters: I will keep them safe and reply to them as soon as I can. We aren't supposed to do any mail on days other than P-Day...
Anyway, my time is short, so I will just leave you with my testimony that this holiday is a time to celebrate the birth of our literal savior and redeemer. He lived for us. He died for us. And through his Atonement, we can live again with Him and the Father in the Celestial Kingdom. The gospel is true and I know that President Thomas S. Monson along with all the members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve are prophets, seers, and revelators.
I love you all and I look forward to seeing you when I return :)
Press forward with steadfast faith in Christ
Best wishes,
Elder Jones
