This week we also sent one of our amazing YSA
to all of you in Utah. Elder Gonzales is heading to the Provo MTC and
will be serving in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission. They are lucky ducks!
It was an interesting experience to talk to him about how he was feeling
and to realize that the roller coaster of mission emotions starts and
ends pretty much the same. I'm excited for him and a little bit jealous
he's just starting out.
What I really wanna
talk about though is Christmas. And presents. Who doesn't like presents?
So listen up. This week I've started to use a new question in my OYMs.
It goes like this: "Christmas is to celebrate Jesus' birthday right?"
"Right." "So what are you going to give Jesus' for his birthday?" And
then they get a little embarrassed and giggle a little bit because they
haven't really thought about it. But you think about it. How would you
feel if it was YOUR birthday and every one brought presents for everyone
else at the party, but no one brought anything for YOU? Remember that
the Savior has given us the greatest gift that anyone could ever give
with his atoning sacrifice, a way to find peace in a troubled world, and
a way to return to our Heavenly home and live as families for all
eternity. He is the Gift.
Since this Christmas
I'll be on the other side of the world and it would be kind of hard for
you to get me something for Christmas, this is what I want instead.
1. Watch this video.
2. Print this.
3. Send me a pic of you and your gift :)
This
is also a test to see if you actually read these emails. I love ya all
and am so grateful for all of your prayers and support! The best po kayo
talaga!
XOXO, Sister Brown
