Feliz Navidad de Huatulco

This blog is to let all of you know how much we miss you and how much we feel your prayers and the love of the one whose birth we celebrate, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We went back to our New Mexico roots with our Christmas lighting this year. Thanks to the missionaries who assisted us with this project. The service these young people give is beyond amazing and we are more amazed by them every day.

I shared with the missionaries this evening my love for nativities and how since I was a small child they have brought my mind to my Savior. We have several to keep our minds and hearts focused.

I also shared my testimony of the Atonement of our Savior and how, while his birth is supremely important, his sacrifice provides us the way to return to live with him and our Father and with our families for eternity. This quote by Elder Jeffrey R Holland reminds us daily why we are serving the people of Oaxaca.

As we feel the tug of our heart strings for the family we are not with this year we are reminded to keep sacred covenants and prepare so that we can live with them for eternity and just how sad it will be if we are not all together.
