I hope you are all enjoying this wonderful time of the year, its truly a blessing to be on a mission during this time. Yes I'm far away from my family and all of you amazing people that I love dearly, but my heart is warm and at peace and not far away from home.
There is so much love from the people over here and being a missionary around this time of year has allowed me to focus truly on what Christmas is all about, and why it is such a joyous warm time of the year. The answer is simple, it's our Savior Jesus Christ. It's a time of the year where everyone opens there hearts up a little bit more, they give a little bit more, spend more time with those who they love and cherish, and this is because we let the light of Christ into our hearts, so yeah I will keep this short but I just want to challenge you all to find out what the actual meaning of Christmas for you is.
Whether that be remembering Jesus Christ, serving others, remembering what is good in the world, spending time with family, whatever it is just find it and hold onto it this Christmas season and I promise that by doing so you will have the warmest Christmas yet.
I know that Jesus Christ lives and that he is our Savior. That he can and is willing to heal every scar, broken heart, and beaten down spirit. That he brings peace, forgiveness, joy, light, love hope and so many other things into this world and he can bring them into our lives, all we have to do is let him.
Merry Christmas! With love from the Netherlands.
