Happy New Year!

It was so great talking to my family on Christmas day.  I love you all so much! It was definitely a highlight in my week.

Another highlight, or miracle, of the week was Sharwyn getting to church. Sharwyn is a 9 year-old girl who we have been teaching for a while.  It is hard for her to attend church because we have no way to contact her (via phone) and we have to arrange a ride for her with a member.  So, yesterday was her first day at church and she loved it!  We had another recent convert, Tatum, who is 9 also and they were in the same class.  It was awesome and they seemed to hit it off really well.  It was great for Tatum to be a mini missionary.  She is already planning on going on a mission.  It was also so wonderful for Sharwyn.  She really loved it.  She has been saying that she wants to be baptized and wants to be Mormon.  She has felt the spirit during the missionary lessons at home, but it is really good that she came to church.  It is helpful for an investigator to learn by the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses, so they know we aren't the only ones who believe what we are teaching.  Church is great! Church is a place to feel the Spirit and to learn with others who are the same age.  Going to church helps strengthen my testimony as well.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is true. This church is the church of Jesus Christ, and it is true.  Jesus Christ is my Savior and the Savior of the world.  I am so grateful for him.  I love you all so much.  Thank you for all the good you do in the world.  Love, Sister Cluff
