Before i forget let me tell you a
story. So last week at about midnight as my companion and i were sleeping, there
was a really loud knock or someone pounding on our door, followed by a weird
sound like a moaning sound. After about 5 minutes of the pounding i woke up, my
companion had already been awake and i was pretty out of it not knowing what was
going on. As i got out of bed i turned on the bedroom light and told my
companion we need to answer the door and see what all the ruckus was about. As
soon as i turned on the light my companion got really nervous and was telling me
to turn the light off quick and get back in bed he also told me to keep my voice
down and i was wondering why he was being all weird. After about 5 more minutes
the pounding stopped and then my companion went on to tell me how this is what
robbers will do. Late at night they will go to a house and then ask for help or
something like that and then rob you. Its pretty messed up and if it were me and
another American, i am pretty sure we would have opened the door.
Well i have had some good
experiences, not everything has been about robbers. I finally watched the movie
"17 Miracles" which is about the pioneers and their journey to Utah. It was one
of the best movies i have ever watched. After the movie was over i felt very
ungrateful because of how easy i or we as members have everything in the church
today. Although we still do have challenges and struggles and the world is more
wicked now than ever before, we have the tools necessary to combat this
evil.
In this month's Ensign, there is an
article by President Henry B. Eyring that is titled, "Family and Friends
Forever". This article is perfect and explains how we can share the gospel more
with are friends and how thankful they will be knowing that we have shared
something with them that is so important to us.
I hope all of you have a great
Christmas, that it is full of joy and lots of gratitude for the birth of The
Savior into the world. Love you all."
