Merry Christmas!
Here I am celebrating
yet another special Christmas in the promised land, the land of Nefi and Lehi,
the land that they obtained after much sacrifice. How grateful I am to be able
to pass another special holiday season filled with paneton, hot chocolate,
fireworks and all things peruvian. I will have many more special Christmases
filled with family memories but this will be my last one here in the mission.
In the past few weeks I have grown closer to my Savior as I have studied his
birth, his life, and his ministry. What an incredible gift He truly is to each
and every one of us. I have loved every minute of the time spent here sharing
this light with everyone I meet and I feel so grateful that I have a few more
weeks to keep sharing it. But sharing it during the Christmas season is
something special as hearts are truly touched remembering our Savior and the
great love He has for us. I hope each one of us can help others accept this
gift and that we can do something with it that shows our eternal gratitude to
our Heavenly Father.
Seeing as tomorrow is
also the birthday of the Profet Joseph Smith I would also like to share with
you how grateful I am for the GIFT of living profets. I am eternally grateful
for Joseph Smith and his life. Because of him the church was able to be
restored in OUR day and because of him I am able to be with my family forever.
Not only that but I can also help others recieve that gift. We have a father in
heaven who is mindful of us, he loves us and he guides us through his profets.
My testimony of the profet Joseph has grown and grown here in Perú. Perú will
always be a sacred land for me where my testimony was able to go through the
refiner's fire. How great is the plan of our Heavenly Father and how great is
his love! I hope every one of you can feel that in this special season of
Navidad!
Love,
Hermana Degn
