Maayong Pasco!
Hellooo people I am back hahah had a stellar week here on
the surface of the sun oh wait no it just feels like that hahah. But really
though we had a good week and spent the last four days in Dumaguete for some
reallll biz but we back here in the land of the gwapos(Elder Briones and I) now
and back to action. But yea next time we talk Christmas will be over so i
wanted to say a little bit about what I know and have learned this month as I
have tried to come closer to Christ. First of all I have learned that it is
impossible to become exactly like him with the time we have here on earth, but
through working on my hope in HIm and a better hope for the future, I have
started doing what i can. Jesus Christ really is the Savior of the world and if
He did not come down to earth for us, we would nothing with no plan and no
happiness in our lives. His life is a light in our lives, it leades and guides
us if we choose to open our eyes and remove the darkness. He loves each one of
us and knows what you and I have felt whenever it gets hard, except not just
for you and I, for every person to ever walk this earth. I know that through
him we can become better people and fulfill the will of the Father while here
on earth, through following His gospel we become more in tune with His spirit,
which is guide us in our journey to become like him. I have learned that God is
one eternal round and so are our lives here, we will be supported if we choose
the path that allows us to receive that help. I love this gospel and am
grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of the Philippines because
they are some of the most christ-like people you will ever meet. There is not a
day that goes by that I dont think about my Savior and His love and the
nothingness i would be without him and his mercy. I love you all so much and my
invitation to you this Christmas is to better appreciate the blessings in your
life and think about where they come from and what Christ has given you. Thank
you for all your support, the emails the packages, the words of encouragement.
I wouldnt be here without you guys and I will keep going for you guys as well!
Love you all and hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Press forward with faith,
in the Savior Jesus Christ.
-Elder Smith
