Week 17 !¿deciembre ya?!
Hola todo! Hope ya'll are doing great back in the US with all that snow! Feliz Navidad everyone! I hope ya'll spread the good chirstmas cheer with everyone these next few weeks!
This email might be a little shorter so Im sorry about that, but I dont have much time. I just want to share a spirtual enlightment the Holy Ghost impressed upon my mind this week. Every Pday when I go home from writing I go across this bridge right when the sun is going down. Normally Im working at this time so I never see the sunset, but every week I see it and it is so gosh dang pretty. I always look around at the people and none of them even glance at it. I always think "how the heck are these people not seeing this amazing thing right in front of them?...they must take it for granted!"...and then the Spirit did a wonder upon me. I thought the exact same thought with us members of the church and the góspel that we have in our lives. I think we often take for granted the blessings we receive from this góspel. Other people sometimes see the Light within the eyes of a member of the church and think its amazing, but as members we don't always recongize that. We have gotten too used to it. Just like these Uruguayans and these amazing sunsets over the wáter.
I hope you all take a moment, this Christmas season and just reflect on the amazingness of the restored góspel of Jesus Christ you have in your life and if you don't have it in your life, I invite you to accept it as apart of your life. As a servant of Jesus Christ, I testify it WILL change your life for the better, if you let it. I love you all! Have a great week!
