GRINCH WHO ALMOST STOLE CHRISTMAS TREE
So last week after we got our Christmas tree our landlord texted us and said we couldn't have a real Christmas tree. It was pretty funny because there's this long list of rules from past missionaries who told us not to mess with our landlord. 
And having a real Christmas tree isn't on there. But no worries, we'll be putting that on the paper for the next missionaries. πŸ˜‚ she didn't tell us to get rid of it though, so we still have it. Some people just don't understand the real reason behind Christmas. 
So remember to be kind especially during this wonderful Christmas season and don't  be a grinch. Be happy! 

We got invited to the Bickford Christmas party and Santa was there. 
And so of course we yelled " OH EM GEE SANTA , I know him!" Haha jk. 
I wish. Inside my inner child was screaming for joy. More just because I miss Buddy, the Elf. He's the man. 



Let's invite Christ into our lives , our homes. 
Let's make sure we welcome him into our lives and homes. 

President Spencer W. Kimball wrote of the Savior:
      “All his life he had been the victim of ugliness. As a newborn infant he had been spirited away to save his life at the instruction of an angel in a dream. … At the end of a hectic life he had stood in quiet, restrained divine dignity. …
      “They pushed him around and jostled him and buffeted him. Not an angry word escaped his lips. … They slapped him in his face and on his body. … Yet he stood resolute, unintimidated. Literally did he follow his own admonition when he turned his other cheek so that it too could be slapped and smitten.
      “Words, too, are hard to take. Incriminations and recriminations and their blasphemy of things, persons, places and situations sacred to him must have been hard to take. … Yet he stood his ground, never faltering. No cringing, no denials, no rebuttals. When false, mercenary witnesses were paid to lie about him, he seemed not to condemn them. They twisted his words and misinterpreted his meanings, yet he was calm and unflustered. Had he not been taught to pray for them ‘which despitefully use you’?
      “He was beaten, officially scourged. He wore a crown of thorns. … He was mocked and jeered. He suffered every indignity at the hands of his own people. … He was required to carry his own cross. … Finally, with the soldiers and his accusers down below him, he looked upon the Roman soldiers and said these immortal words, 
Father forgive them for they know not what they do."  

Elder Gene R. Cook
"One of the great processes you go through in life is to discover
yourself, to find those gifts and capacities God has given you.  He
has given you great talents, the smallest part of which you have just
begun to utilize.  Trust the Lord to assist you in unlocking the door
to those gifts.  Some of us have created imaginary limits in our
minds.  There is literally a genius locked up inside each of us.
Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise."



WHAT ARE YOU GONNA GIVE TO JESUS THIS YEAR ? 
I want each of y'all to ask yourself that and then (of course you already know what im gonna say next you don't even have to ask) ...
GO AND DO.
