This Christmas is special for me since it'll be the first
spent away from home. As a missionary, you're constantly looking for ways to
help others. I think that attitude of wanting to serve others like Christ would
is especially present during the Christmas season. This week, we got to help
build a bamboo home for a family that really needed it. Amidst all the
Christmas parties and activities, being able to make a significant difference
in that family's life is a beautiful gift for me. I know that the joy people
feel around Christmas is founded in Christ's atonement and love for us. I've
included a link to a video about Christ's birth and I encourage everyone,
member or not, to take those few minutes to view it and enjoy the spirit it
brings. Merry Christmas everyone from the Philippines!
Beautiful thought. And so cool that you know how to build a bamboo house!!! Though it sure makes me grateful for my home.
