Hola Familia y
Amigos!
I don`t have much time
this week but we`ve been super busy! Lots of Christmas preparations and little
miracles every day. We had intercambios with some sisters which is always a
great learning experience for me...and it also happened to be in my old area of
Mayorazgo!!! That is where I started my mission and spent 3 transfers so it was
so fun to go back and see so many people I love so much. I love being able to
go back and see people still faithful and still progressing in the
gospel.
This week my testimony
was especially strengthened of the beauty of the Plan of Salvation. I know we
lived with God before this life and that we were sent here for a purpose to
learn and grow. I know that this life is not the end. In Alma 40:11-12 it
teaches us that after we leave this earth we are taken home to the God who gave
us life and dwell in a state of happiness, peace, and rest. There is still much
to do to prepare for the day that we will all be resurrected again with perfect
bodies and stand before our Lord to be judged. According to our deeds and
desires we will be awarded our final dwelling place, hopefully in the Celestial
kingdom with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, along with our family and
loved ones. What great joy, what great peace.
This Christmas season
I am grateful for my Savior who came and was born on this earth as he promised.
He too lived and walked among men, living a perfect life and giving a perfect
example. He too died and his spirit went to the Spirit World where he organized
the missionary efforts for those who had died without a knowledge of him. He
rose from the grave as promised and appeared to those he loved with a perfect,
resurrected body. In this Christmas season he calls to us with open arms to
come to him, to learn of his life, to follow his example. This Christmas season
I remember His life, His promises, His love. He came, He lived, He died, and He
lived again. HE is the best gift we have ever and will ever receive. I love
him. I trust him. Because of him I have peace. Because of him I know who I am.
Because of him I know no earthly sorrow is lasting. I know death has no sting.
I love my Savior and am so grateful for him. Remember Him this season. Take
time to ponder about what his life means to you and what you will give to
him.
I love you all so much
and hope you have a very merry happy Christmas, filled with beautiful memories
and peace.
