I am so
excited for Christmas this year! I have
felt the spirit and the promptings of the spirit more recently than any time in
my life. My heart is filled with joy as
I get every opportunity to share my testimony about the Savior and His birth. I can't wait to see you all on Christmas and
see how you all are doing. I know I have
changed a lot in the six months that you last saw me. My testimony and my spirit has grown because
of all that I have been through, and I know you all must have grown as well.

and I are doing great together! We have
been seeing some awesome things happen in our area! Like on Saturday we both felt like we should
return to our apartment early around dinner time. It was a strange impression but we trusted in
it. In the parking lot near our
apartment complex we saw two men trying to move some furniture on their own. We parked our bikes and offered our
assistance. They said we were sent from
God because they really needed some help due to the well built and heavy
furniture. When we got everything
inside, they couldn't thank us enough. The woman that was actually moving into
the apartment said she had been meeting with the missionaries before she moved
here. It was divine inspiration and I
can't even express to you the special feeling you get when you are used as a
tool in the Lord's hands, becoming an answer to someone's silent prayers, and
know you did the Lord's will.
I love you
all and I thank you for all the presents, love, and support you all give me! Have a wonderful Christmas!
Love,
Elder Hinrichs
