Hello everyone!
How was Christmas for everyone? Dont have too much time, but next week we will be emailing from our normal place so no worries! Pretty filled week with our big Christmas conference where every single missionary was there in the chapel, some 180+ i think , just sharing lots of pictures from all over the year, also had lunch and LOTS of presents and gifts for us all. As well, each zone put on a skit for everyone to see, and we chose to do "what if angels were late" super funny and made everyone laugh. But all in all just lots of good fun. I was one of the angels, amongst those others who were angels with me, were just "kickin it in heaven playing cards" ill try to get the video somehow for everyone to see but in the meantime, I say to everyone the same things I am teaching people here about Christ and His gospel.
We in our lives have a purpose, to return to live with Heavenly Father and our families for eternity. The sacrifice that Jesus Christ gave for us ensured that we would live again after we die. In order, however to receive all that the Father has and live with Him again, we must follow the gospel, or that perfect path through Christ to Him. There is only one way back. He has given us that way because of His goodness and grace. Will we do all that we need to to receive this reward, or will we take our probationary time here on earth for granted? Let us follow diligently and lovingly follow the Savior and His way. In whatever trouble we have in our lives we can receive all the help from Jesus because He loves us that much. Let us pray fervently every day, read the scriptures that so many have given lives for which are "profit and learning", and we must go to church every Sunday to renew those convenants and promises we make with our Father in Heaven. We cannot afford to slip. Most of all, let us always stand in defense of the eternal truths of God, right against wrong, never-changing nor bending from eternity to eternity.. The commandments are there to save us. Follow them to be safe from that potential spiritual death that will rob us of those precious gifts that Heavenly Father wants to give us. I rejoice and am so thankful for the love the Savior has for me, that I have 2 years to represent him teaching these things to those that want to hear. This same love is there for you all always. I am sad for those that choose not to listen and desire that change of their hearts. Heaven sheds its tears over those not desirous to receive eternal happiness. "Obedience Brings Victory..And Victory..is Life." -Jem'Hadar
I love this quote. Couldnt be more simple or easy to understand. Until next week!
