Merry Christmas To Each Of You From Us~


With Our New Mission Assignment, I have not had a moment to get cards sent out. So this is our Christmas message for this year. We really feel blessed to have so many awesome friends and family. We are grateful for the many ways you have touched our hearts through the year. We consider ourselves deeply blessed by you all. Here is a snapshot of this moment in time. 

Roger retired in September and through a special spiritual experience; we decided to put in papers for a Full time Member Leadership Support Mission in our Area. We received our mission call on Conference weekend. We are assigned to the Utah Salt Lake South Mission. We entered the MTC on Oct. 26th and were there for a week. We had a great experience and came home ready to start the work. 

Here is a photo of our Mission, District and the Elders that we work with. 
We are enjoying our time with them all. 

With Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren spread far and wide, we’re resigned to a long distance celebration of Christmas this year.  Rather than a narrative detailing this memorable and event-filled year, just know that all is well as we place ourselves in the care and keeping of our Savior.  We express a sincere Seasons Greeting with Christmas wishes of joy for each of you. More than ever before, we recognize sweet blessings and feel the need to express gratitude to our Savior for His hand in our lives, and for countless tender mercies.
His Life and Atonement are central to our gratitude for they are the greatest of all gifts received. Believe that He lives and gives light to the world. That light illuminates the path to eternal life with Him, if we’ll receive Him it in our hearts and follow in his steps.
Thank you for who you are and for the Christ-like examples you set for each of us.
Sending our Christmas greeting and our love and hugs!
 Roger and LeAnn Williams Family


I want to share this very precious song with you all; enjoy!

Thank you for always sharing your testimony in your blogs....I'm sure it touches many viewers. Also, thank you for the little childrens song, I've never seen it before.

Your blog looks wonderful with those beautiful pictures! I've always heard that Christmas is even better on a mission, which seems hard to imagine without the family there, but it sounds like you are very much in the spirit of things.

Merry, merry Christmas to you both!

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. I love this time of the year and the sweet spirit that accompanies it. Am so happy you are enjoying your mission.

May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen you as you serve. May you continue to find joy in HIS service. Nola

Hi LeAnn!

I can see that this Christmas season has been a very full one for you! I'm so excited for your mission and the opportunities that it will afford you to seek out and find so many who are looking for the peace the Gospel can give them.

I hope this Christmas is a wonderful one for both you and Roger. You are always in my thoughts and prayers . . . Merry Christmas!

Love,
Barb
