Well I'm glad that you were able to see a whole new way on Christmas just as I am seeing it to be more a time of peace and a time to remember my Savior and redeemer Jesus Christ. In times past I never really realized how crazy Christmas was and how much of a big hurry, almost as if things are going 100 miles a hour, but as we remember our savior the promise He gives us in Doctrine and Covenants 19 when we learn of Him and walk in humility He gives unto us peace. I have come to feel that same peace and joy this Christmas season, and to be honest its been the most spirit filling experience I have ever had. This week I have only been singing hymns of Christmas, and walking, then walking and walking. I felt a huge peace in all my weariness and tiredness singing and walking for a long ways. As we sang we were able to remember and give the joys of Christmas to those that maybe had nothing. I was able to give something to each of those families which was the chance to grow closer to their savior. I have never felt closer to my savior to remember him(even though I feel so lonely in this far and distant land in this time) I have never felt so comforted in my savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He has given me reason to rejoice. To overcome all things, to be all things that he would have me to be. I've learned what it means to slave yourself to the Savior as the apostle pablo taught. However I feel free through him more then I feel as a prisoner. Remember Christ and His path makes mine easier, because I know in those moments I'm not walking alone but close by someone whose been there before. I know with a pure knowledge that He lives, and that he is the CHRIST through him we are made clean and pure.
Well I hope ALL are there so that I can talk with EVERYONE!! I'm glad to hear that all is going well with you guys because it brings me joy to know your joy! Yeah because I'm already ready to go hunting with dad because one I'm pretty sure two years of walking has prepared me for this lol Plus I want to learn... its something on my huge list of things to do when I get home. I've started my bucket list lol
I understand what you mean dad because I have had companions who have driven me crazy but it's those companions that I miss most! lol I was reading a scripture and remembered dad and you mom, when I was reading in John, where it says that God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son so that all that believed him would live unto life eternal. I know you as well so loved the world and God that you gave one of your sons to the world that through Him all those who believed in Him would be saved. By letting me be here you are blessed because you allowed me to save others. I have come to know by which gate are all blessings bestowed upon us, and I know with a surety that it is through the faith of the righteous. I know that you both have been faithful and so you are so blessed! Thank you for your example and great love that you have for God.
Just a little note, each thing I told you guys I wanted to do, I plan on doing with you guys so be ready to help! lol OH just for your information dad you can't whine when we are hiking and I go to fast because I'm already to go two years baby two years! lol But I want bow hunting and rifle, both! :)
I have never thought I would come to know all that I know mom. I remembered when I heard others tell me that they talked with God. I always remembered saying to myself these guys are dumb.... however now I'm one of those dumb guys, but I've learned that they aren't so dumb. However, some of the brightest people. Because God does speak with us, I know with a surety, and its that which has caused such a mighty change of heart in me and many of those around me!
Well I cant wait to talk with you guys the 25th, only two more days!! I love you all with all my heart! My time to talk isnt until the afternoon at 2 or 3 so be ready at like 1:50 because at two maybe i will be on and if i dont get on i will be on at 3! ok well Its getting time and I love you all so much hope all is well lots of love
