Merry Christmas 2011 from New Zealand
It’s 70 degrees and the lilies are in bloom, but it’s Christmas time in New Zealand! We’ve had a fun Christmas season. We fixed a little card with a heart ornament, and took to each family that we know. We have come to love the people here so much. We’ve been sent here to help this little branch increase and become a ward. We’ve watched it almost double in size in 6 months, and are thrilled with the spirit that is here, and the love that they all have for each other. Such sweet things happen every week, that help us feel like we are helping, and doing the Lord’s work.
We love Ashburton! We are thankful to be missionaries!
We are being blessed and our families at home are being blessed. Our grandson, Brendon, is serving in Fiji, and we are thankful for him and for each one of our children and grandchildren. We are thankful we can skype (picture above) and talk to our family often! We see the hand of the Lord in our lives, and in the lives of those at home, and those here in Ashburton.

He loves each one of us, more than we can imagine, and we love Him.
So we are sending this little heart and card to each of you, and hope you know how much we love you and appreciate your love and support. We hope that the Spirit of Love and Christmas and peace are in your homes and hearts.
Love, Elder and Sister Neider
