Elana's Christmas Card

We were able to talk to Elana on Christmas Day for about an hour. She is doing great! After 4 months in the mission field Elana became a trainer. She has been given some challenges and has grown a great deal from them. We had sent her a minature Christmas tree and lights with her gifts and she said her whole apartment was full of Christmas lights. She lives with 3 other missionaries now and really likes it. Having so much knowledge about the personality types (temperaments) has been very helpful.
On December 28th she wrote: The rest of Christmas passed by quickly. We had a conference for just the Hermana's (sister missionaries) which was interesting. I love it when president talks. I learn so much from him. It's also good to get to know all of the Hermana's. This change there are 6 more Latinas coming, which is surprising....there have never been that many Hermana's before.
