on sunday, i was finally able to attend relief society since moving to pittsburgh. tannon & i got called into the nursery the week we moved here, and that's where we've been every sunday...ever since.
although i absolutely love the children in our ward, i have deeply missed relief society. there is something so powerful about a group of women getting together on a regular basis to share experiences and opportunities life brings.
i was hit with several emotions as the incredible teacher shared her insight on Christmas. it really opened my eyes and helped me learn that Christmas isn't always easy for everyone.
Christmas is about HOPE
although i hurt inside that i won't be able to share this Christmas season with our families, i am truly overwhelmed by the blessings that i have received throughout my life, and especially these past few months. i am grateful that i actually have a family to miss throughout this season. and especially that they are just a phone call away.
i thank Him for his birth, life, & sacrifice. He is my Savior.

Thanks for reminding us what Christmas is all about! I am so glad you were in RS, too!
I thought you would be coming home for sure :-( we really miss you. I am glad you got a chance to hear the things you needed to. We'll be thinking of you.
You are awesome McCall. And, when Mike and I first moved here I was immediately called to be head of the nursery.... It was hard but very rewarding. Hope you are doing well and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
McCall... I don't know if you already knew... but I look up to you. :) I hope you have a great week my lovely friend.
You're wonderful.
Have a wonderful Christmas, sweet girl. Love you.
