"The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God."

- C.S. Lewis

Well, this week sure has been fun! With all the Christmas spirit that comes here, it sure is amazing to see all the people who truly know what the season is all about, which sadly aren’t many. BUT, that is why I am here as a missionary, to help people come to a knowledge of why they need to come unto Christ! For truly we are in a time that explains itself... Christ-mas, or Mas Cristo, or More Christ. A wonderful thing that you all should know can be found here at www.mormon.org/christmas . It is a link to a web page all about the meaning of Christmas. For unto us, a Son is given. Truly now is a time for us to remember why He came. For unto us is born a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 

From Him, men are saved from all things that are short of the glory of God. This is truly a moment for us to remember that through Him and because of Him we may be saved. We can truly be saved from WHATEVER it is that may hold us down and keep us feeling sad, hurt, and depressed... whatever it may be. It is a time for rejoicing, for us to remember or start to remember that because of Him, we may start over as many times as needed. Because of Him, we are able to be supported in our trials. How great is it that we may come unto Him and receive all that He and our Father in Heaven have? 

This week, we were able to talk to many people about everything that this season means to us. It has been great for me to be out and talking especially since I’m in an apartment of missionaries that get sick and injured often... I being one of them. This week, I had to stay home a couple of times due to pain in my knee, but I was also able to use the time to study the scriptures and see all that the Lord has to offer to those who come unto Him. 

A great week to you all, and I hope you all have a great Christmas season!!!
