So, upon receiving the beautiful Christmas card from dear Elder Gomez and getting a stocking-filled Christmas package from Grandma, Elder Nelson and I decided to send out a little Christmas card ourselves!
Luke 2:
25 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same manwas just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
My beloved relatives and close friends, as funny and depraved of creativity as missionary Christmas cards are, I just want you all to remember this: I know that Jesus is the Christ and that he is our salvation. At this time of Christmas, don't get lost in the traditional, and financial aspects of the season. Never forget the real holy reason we celebrate this beloved holiday.
Love you all!
