The Sunday Before Christmas

After all the Christmas parties and moving and everything we were pretty played out and kinda slept in this morning and were almost late for church but we made it and had a good day. Lily was asked to speak and did a good job. She shared her experience of their first Christmas in Utah when they had nothing but were helped out lots by caring church members.This evening a bunch of the YSA girls dropped by to say hi and see our new place and saw that we were trying to clean up after our move so they offered to help. We had them decorate the Christmas tree and set up the Nativity scene and they had a blast.They thought that was the neatest thing ever. After that we sat and visited with them a bit and got each one of them to share their conversion story with us. It was really a nice spiritual experience.It's inspirational to see their faithfulness to the Gospel. Every one of them is either the only member of their family that is a member of the church or they have at least one or both parents who are less active. These girls are all planning on serving missions and are just wonderful young women.
