It’s the best time of the season and I’m so glad i get to
experience it as a full time servant of my heavenly father! This year our
president had every district have a song and share it with other people to
brighten their day. We decided as a district to go to a near metro stop and
sing all the Christmas hymns in the hymn book. NO we for sure do not have the
best voices but luckily that doesn't matter. We really got to see people smile
on peoples faces that were hustling to work. We even had some people stop and
sing with us or take pictures with us! At all times we had two missionaries
contacting people and giving out he is the gift cards. It was so great to
spread the Christmas cheer in that way.
We had our zones training and Sister Arriaga and I gave a
training. It was based of off commitments and how we can give better
commitments with everyone we meet, teach, and even members. It went really well
and it will be cool if that can really help our zone improve. We did two splits
this week and one of the splits i went off the Montréal Island with some
sisters and participated in their district activity. They went around door to
door to some member’s house and non-members houses singing and passing out he
is the gift card. It was really fun and everyone loved it here they thought
that caroling was only in the movies! On Saturday we had our zones mission Christmas
party with president and our branch Christmas party. they were both really
great and always fun to share the spirit with each other. I would like to share
some of the Christmas spirit with you. I feel the spirit so much when i think
of my brother Jesus Christ that’s what this holiday is about anyways right! I
am so thankful that for 18 months i have been able to wear his name and share
and testify of another testament of Christ the Book of Mormon. In the book of Mormon
1nephi 11:12-22 it says
12 And it came to pass that he
said unto me: Look! And I looked as if to look upon him, and I saw him not; for
he had gone from before my presence.
13 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the great
city of Jerusalem, and also other cities. And I beheld the city of Nazareth;
and in the city of Nazareth I beheld a virgin, and she was
exceedingly fair and white.
14 And it came to pass that I saw
the heavens open; and an angel came down and stood before me; and he
said unto me: Nephi, what beholdest thou?
15 And I said unto him: A virgin, most beautiful and fair
above all other virgins.
16 And he said unto me: Knowest thou
the condescension of God?
17 And I said unto him: I know that he loveth his children;
nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things.
18 And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom
thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the
flesh.
19 And it came to pass that I beheld that she was carried
away in the Spirit; and after she had been carried away in
the Spirit for the space of a time the angel spake unto me, saying:
Look!
20 And I looked and beheld the virgin again, bearing
a child in her arms.
21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of
God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! Knowest thou the
meaning of the tree, which thy father saw?
22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is
the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts
of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all
things.
I am so thankful for our Saviour Jesus Christ! I know that he
lives and that through him we can return back to our Heavenly Father! I wish
you the best Christmas full of love!
