I'm so happy to be able to email to you all today! First off, THANK YOU
THANK YOU for the packages Pamilya kag Grandma Barbara!! It was so thoughtful to
get gifts and especially for my roommates to also get a little something from
you all. I can't send pictures today because they have it down to a science how
long we're on the computer for, but tomorrow is still my P-day so I will write
again and send pictures! Christmas is so fun here! Last night we had Elder Evans
from the Seventy and on the Executive Counsel for Missionaries serving with
Elder Nelson and Bednar. He gave a wonderful message and there is just so much
love here because we're all each other's family today:) I'm hoping that you all
are enjoying Christmas!! Christmas is all about love. Heavenly Father loves each
and every one of us SO much, more than we can ever comprehend. So much so that
he sent His son to the earth as a Savior and Redeemer- The Prince of Peace.
Today the whole world celebrates Jesus Christ's birth and it's such a special
season for a reason!! Christ loves us, He even died for us. We can show our love
to the Savior by remembering what this Christmas season is really about. Love :)
Show your love to EVERYONE! As we do that we will feel more of our Savior's love
for us, which will allow us to continue to keep loving others more and more.
Everything about missionary work is about love too. The love I feel for the
people that we teach and the love that I feel for my companions, district, zone
and teachers is and originates from that love that Heavenly Father has for us.
The more we love, the more love we will feel. I love my Father in Heaven and I
know that he loves me. I know that He loves ALL OF YOU! Take some time today to
remember what Christ's love for us really means. To me, it means that we can use
the infinite atonement in our lives (an infinite amount of times) in order to
gain eternal life. I'm so grateful that we are sealed together for eternity
through the priesthood that has been restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Christ really is the Prince of Peace. I can't wait to share this testimony that
I have with the people of the Philippines! I hope that you all never hesitate to
share what you truly know with those that you come in contact with. The
happiness and PEACE that this gospel can and will bring to our lives is
immeasurable. And that happiness is BECAUSE of Jesus Christ. I'm so glad that He
was born. I love you all so so so so so so much and I'm excited to write you
tomorrow too!!! I hope to hear how amazing your Christmas was!! I'm thinking of
you all!
All my love,
All my love,
Sister Judd
