As we Celebrate The Birth of Our Heavenly Fathers Son Jesus Christ we give special thanks for the greatest gift ever given to mankind! As Missionaries in this wonderful land of the Philippines we marvel at the magnitude of our Saviors love for all his Children. We feel an overwhelming love for these people here and are striving to help in some small way to lighten their load by giving them living water that they might not thirst any more. We have been out almost four months now and are feeling the urgency of our call to do more and strive harder to do all we can to help build the Kingdom here. What a great blessing it is to us to be missionaries, to be numbered among the thousands that serve all over the Earth. As we gathered as a mission recently it was wonderful to be among the valiant Elders and Sisters and Senior couples who serve diligently day after day to share the message of the Restoration of The Gospel of Jesus Christ.We miss family and friends at this special time of year. But we will be together in the near future, so for now we will keep striving to do his will and his work here in the Philippines as all of you are doing at home.
We had twenty Missionaries here to night for Turkey Dinner including Elder and Sister Paddock another Senior couple. They helped with the dinner and of course it was a big hit with the Missionaries. We had a neat program afterwards with missionaries sharing past Christmas and the true meaning of Christmas. Reminded me of Home! We love you all and appreciate all of your support and love that you have given us. There's nothing more precious than family and friends. Let us all strive to put Jesus Christ the center of our lives through out the coming year,and share the good word of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our actions and deeds.
