We do not get to call home this Christmas Day... but we have the most glorious opportunity to send an Email!!!
Today is Christmas. First of all... Thank you for the Christmas packages!!! I got the one from the family and the one from Lindsay yesterday at about lunch time!!! So today, i opened up all my little presents!!! Woooooo!!! Today in the MTC we dont have a regular schedule... we basically just party all day, just kidding, but really... This morning Elder Russell M. Nelson came and spoke at our Christmas fireside!!! Wow. He was great!!! Today i'm wearing my new panda tie (thanks mom and dad) I'm assuming this tie is from your trip to China! And thanks for all the cool Chinese candy!!!
Anyways... Christmas is not about the cool Panda tie... Or the toy slugbug... or the Asian candy... or even the mtn dew flavored lip balm... Christmas is about Christ. Really, everyday should be centered on our Lord and Savior Jesucristo! When we think about the gifts of Christmas, we should always remember the most important gift of all time. The gift that our loving Heavenly Father has sent to us. His son! Jesus. And how can we show our love for Jesus Christ? Sure, act out the nativity, or read from the scriptures... but what i think is the best way possible for us to show our love to Jesus and our Heavenly Father, is simply by showing love to others. When we show love to others, our Lord feels that love! Giving a smile, or helping a neighbor, or just being a friend to someone who needs it!!! I am so excited to get out into the field and show love to everyone I come in contact with!
Yo se que Jesucristo es el Salvador. Yo se que la iglesia es verdadero. and I love you! I SERIOUSLY LOVE ALL OF YOU!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
-Elder Ferney
