Merry Christmas from Italy

Ciao Tutti!!

This week was busy. We are so happy to be exhausted for the Lord!! We are trying to share his love with all these people in Pisa. I'm so blessed to have his love in my life. Well we all have it we just need to scoprirlo! ;) figure out that Word!

33 For what doth it profit a man if a gift is bestowed upon him, and he receive not the gift? Behold, he rejoices not in that which is given unto him, neither rejoices in him who is the giver of the gift. 

James Wallingford penned these lines:

Christmas is not a day or a season, but a condition of heart and mind.

If we love our neighbors as ourselves;

if in our riches we are poor in spirit and in our poverty we are rich in grace;

if our charity vaunteth not itself, but suffereth long and is kind;

if when our brother asks for a loaf, we give ourselves instead;

if each day dawns in opportunity and sets in achievement, however small--

then every day is Christ’s day and Christmas is always near. 

I just want to leave you with my testimony of my savior this week. I know he lives. He is our key to eternal life. I know that I am not perfect and therefore I need his strength. I am grateful for my faults and weaknesses because it gives me a chance to come unto Christ and feel comforted and healed. With knowing Christ is my savior I try to become better and take his example and apply his example in my life. 

I love my savior. He is why I am out here in Italy this Christmas...without him I could not do it. 

Do you believe Christ is your savior? If so....why and what do you do to share that? 

I believe we all need to be saved...we all need the healing power of his atonement.

I hope you feel that peace this Christmas from the only one who can give us real lasting peace. 

Merry Christmas!!! Buon Natale!!!
