Merry Christmas everyone! Feliz Navidad! Meli Kelikimaka (hawaiian)!

This Christmas has been a blast...literally. Fireworks went off like crazy last night. 

One of our investigators had come to church last week and is looking to really know if it is true. Last week he could only attend for one hour, but he said he would make plans to attend all three hours to really see what it was like. He turned off his phone so that no one would call him for work and he told his boss that he would be busy for most of the morning. He came to church, only to find out it was only one hour this week! He laughed and we used the opportunity to have him talk to the bishop. It was good to see him apply his faith, and he was blessed in a way he may not have been normally.

Also we ate a ton of Turkey. Literrally, a ton. 

I know the Lord lives. He was born in a manger, the humblest of all places. Can you imagine being one of the shepherds seeing the Lord at His birth? Sometimes I wonder if I could look at the baby Jesus, and recognize Him as the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. 

Because of HIm, we can repent and grow. What a gift.

Because of Him, the end doesn`t exsists. What a gift.

Because of Him, I will see you again someday. What a gift.
