This is the Christ

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing great. I hope that in all the changes you are passing through and difficulties in your life, you can find a little bit of light in this. These past couple weeks have meant a lot of changes, and well there going to continue. But also, this week has been really good. We've been able to have quite a bit of time to visit our friends, every single day other than Monday. It has been so good to share testimonies, to see people see the light of the savior, reflect on His hand in their lives, and learn how we can come to see it more often. I have been blessed to have this opportunity and to teach side by side with members and to hear of their testimonies of the Savior as well. And so I thought, maybe I'd change this up a bit, and just share my testimony of our savior if you'd let me. I would love to testify that I know our Savior, Jesus Christ, He Lives. I have seen his influence in my life. I have seen his influence of so many families and friends. And I have seen His influence in the world around me. I know He has the power to change lives. I know He felt pains, troubles, sicknesses, struggles of all kinds to help us with ours. Just like when you feel the pain of someone else kicking there foot on the kitchen table, He has felt our pains. He understands them and He understands us and He knows how to help us through our difficulties, temptations, and obstacles in this life. His teachings, His gospel of great joy, and His church are here on the earth. We can know of the truth of His existence, of His calling, and His teachings as we put in our effort to seek Him, apply what He has taught, and to turned to our Father in prayer. As we search with humility and stop to feel, to look around us, we will be able to recognize His presence in our lives and the truthfullness of these things. By way of His spirit and by the fruits (results, impacts) of these things in our lives. I know, because I have seen it. I am surely not perfect, and not close to seeing His influence constantly in my life, but it is somethig I am trying to improve. But I have seen, felt, and come to know too many times to deny my vitness of Him. And I will continually seek to see and testifty of Him, because of the love He has given to me. Just as the Shepherds testified of His pureness and the truthfullness of His calling as our Savior. I too will rejoicefully testify that He is our Living Savior, that He loves each one of You. Yes You. You can never be to far gone for His love. He knows You. And He invites You, and all to come unto Him, to learn of Him, to apply His teachings, to use His atonement in our Lives, and to Become as He is. That we may find joy and peace in this life, and in eternal life to come. Thanks to Him. I testify of these things, and His love for each on of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. I would like to invite you this Christmas Season: To Reflect on why the Birth of Christ is so important to you, how has it influenced your life? (I love this video, it might help you to reflect on this in your life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXWoKi5x3lw ) In what way can I give thanks to Him this day for all He has done for me? Love you all, Merry Christmas!

Numbered Among His Sheep

  Well it's been a crazy couple of weeks and I'm not sure I could count the time I've spent in a bus traveling. I'm in Tarta...
