Howdy!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER, BETSY!!
I am so jolly right now. It has been so crazy here at Temple Square. Last week, we had Thanksgiving dinner together as a mission at a Stake Center nearby and that night the Christmas lights turned on! So since then, Temple Square has been absolutely poppin. Just hordes and hordes of people coming through the gates and we have so many to talk to we don't know what to even do with ourselves! A missionary's dream :)
Another highlight from this week was that I got to attend my sister Emily's sealing in the Draper, Utah Temple. It was such a special and spiritual experience and I feel so blessed that I got to go. She's a married woman now! Temple marriages are so beautiful and if you want to learn more about what goes on in the temple email me at amy.tracy@missionary.org! Then she had her reception in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building at Temple Square but I didn't go to that haha. I did wave through the window though!
I feel so seen by my Heavenly Father this week. He knows me so perfectly and something that has stuck with me is that families are from God. We aren't meant to be alone and we never have to be. Even if your family situation isn't the best, we can have peace in knowing that we have THE most loving people in our family, our Heavenly Father and our Brother Jesus Christ.
This is one of the films that play in the Joseph Smith Memorial Buildings and it reminds me every time what the Christmas Season really is about. And 3 Nephi 18:24 really encompasses that. This is Christ speaking!
"Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed."
Hold up His light this Christmas! Pray to see how He can better use you and then be willing to sacrifice on His behalf!
I love youuuuu. Feliz Navidad! Oh my goodness and I forgot to mention so many hispanic people are coming to Temple Square I'm dyin over here. I'm such a gringa.
ALSO HAPPY CHILE DAY HERMANA KIRSTEN HALL!! BUENA SUERTE!!! YOU'RE SUCH A QUEEN!
