3 Nephi 17:20 -24

20 And they arose from the earth, and he said unto them: Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full.
21 And when he had said these words, he wept, and the multitude bare record of it, and he took their little children, one by one, and blessed them, and prayed unto the Father for them.
22 And when he had done this he wept again;
23 And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones.
24 And as they looked to behold they cast their eyes towards heaven, and they saw the heavens open, and they saw angels descending out of heaven as it were in the midst of fire; and they came down and encircled those little ones about, and they were encircled about with fire; and the angels did minister unto them.

YAY!!!

So this week was very busy and very exciting. Thoughts of good things are continuing to go on in our area and throughout the mission.

Saturday night was the baptism for Sandy and Kayla. It went really well and was very spiritual. The Uhde family had invited a lot of their non-member friends and the branch really came out in support. I'll attach a couple of pictures from it.

This last weekend was also the community Christmas celebration. The stake center was decorated in the gym with trees and poinsettias. There were also about 275 nativity scenes that were donated for the celebration. Live music from local groups and it was AMAZING!!!! There were a lot of people from the community that came and felt the Spirit and got excited for the holidays.

Last night was the Christmas devotional which is always spiritual. The Murrays and Sandy came to watch it at our place with our members last night. They are all so excited and on fire about the church. Sandy, Sis. Murray, and Br. Murray all got up in testimony meeting yesterday. There truly are miracles occurring and will keep going.

The scripture for the week is Helaman 14:2-6. This is Samuel the Lamanite prophesying about the coming of Christ into the world. What a great time of the year it is that we can remember all that the Savior did for us.

Take care and keep the spirit of Christmas going strong.
