MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the gifts you got. Today has been amazing and so was yesterday.Yesterday we watched a Nativity skit that wasnt to bad no yes yes it was but i still felt the spirit and was reminded of why we celebrate this season. We also watched " A Christmas Carole". I'm not sure what version but it is an older one and is apparently the most true to the book of any version. It was awesome and full of plenty of funny things. Today started out funny so we got permission so that we could wake up extra early so that we could hurry and do our laundry and then go get ready because today is also our Preparation day and the only day this week that we have that we can do laundry. The only problem is that our brilliant idea was shared by literally everyone else who needed to do laundry. So although i lucked out and found two washers open right away, my companion on the hand ended up spending 20 minutes looking so we had to eat breakfast in like 5 minutes so we could get to our class on time. It is a good thing I'm a Craner and have learned how to eat swiftly. So the Devotional today was really good it was given to Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of 12 Apostles. Tonight we also get to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". Mom i want you to know that i did wait 'till today to open my gifts and Thank you.
Although it was really good what i really want to say is that i am so thankful to be on a mission right now! And although my family may not be but these past couple of days i have truly come to the realization that i am willing to give up two of my Christmases with my family. So that i might be able to share the gospel and help others enjoy their families for eternity! Oh how this gospel is one of Happiness and Joy where we have the gift of the Atonement and repentance so that we might be forgiven of our mistakes.How sweet repentance is the feeling of giving our sins to the Savior who has willingly taken them upon himself so that we might be clean and happy. I know that if we accept the gift of the savior this Christmas season we will lead happier and fuller lives than any other that we can if we just look at the material things that we received this Christmas. So i encourage all of you to accept the Saviours gift of himself into your life and to give him your sins through Repentence. For what better feeling is there other than giving someone else something. SO give your sins to the one person who is willingly accepting them of all people because he is the one person who can.
Love Elder Craner
P.S. We get pur travel plans next week. WOOOT. so excited. Sorry it is so short but my brain cannot spit anything else out.
