Hola Fambly!
First of all, Merry Christmas! I'm sad that i missed it and at the same time
absolutely not sad at all. I'm supposed to be here and i want to be here!
and i realized that right now, I'm giving Jesus Christ the best gift i could
ever give Him, myself. for... seventeen more months now, I'm serving God and
helping all His children to have hope in Him. that's what Christ birth was.
lying in a manger in a stable in Judea so many years ago, was a little
bundle of hope. before his hands performed mighty miracles, before they were
nailed to the cross, before his head was crowned with thorns, Jesus Christ
was lay in a stable, and the angels in heaven sang his praises, and all
turned their gaze to a tiny baby, helpless, innocent, and the hope of the
world. I love Christmas time! and i can help people to have joy in Jesus
Christ, to finally know what they're doing here and that God does care. he
has a plan for them!
on Tuesday, Elder Neil L Andersen spoke to us in the devotional and his
whole family was there including adorable grandchildren. His grandchildren
sang "picture a Christmas" and it reminded me of mom so of course it made me
cry:) also, the little kids made me think of my boogalu and my niece and
nephews... so i had a moment of home-sickness but it went away! haha it's
been so long since I've seen children, i almost forgot they existed!
anyway, i slept with my blanket last night so all of you were with me on
Christmas eve! thanks for the packages and presents! Hna georgeson and i had
fun opening our presents this morning:) and i even took a couple pictures!
I love you all more than life itself... literally!
