"A Savior is Born"

Mosiah 2:17

 

"And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom, that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."

 

This week, Sister Jacklin, Elder Johnston, Elder Redding and I had many opportunities to serve. The Todd family, who I love so dearly, moved back to America. This week we stayed at the house and tried to repaint it for an inspection. Needless to say, we were there the whole week :) One of the best ways that we can feel and understand Gods love for us is through service. President Dieter F. Uchtdorf once said, "Often, the answer to our prayer does not come while we're on our knees but while we're on our feet serving the Lord and serving those around us."

This week was a good week of strength and growth for me. I really learned more about who I am and who I want to become. Who knew that painting could really help you think more clearly. :) haha! Just kidding. Our Heavenly Father really does want to speak with us, the more we try to become like him and come closer to him, the more we will begin to understand our purpose in life. 

On Wednesday, we also had the opportunity to travel to Berlin this week for a meeting with our mission president. One of my favorite parts of being there was seeing the new movie that the church has put out. It is called "A Savior is Born". This video is special because children tell the Christmas story. I think it is so powerful and I would love it if ya’ll would watch it. Tell me what you think about it. What is something different you would like to do this year to remember our Savior?
