Merry Christmas from Sister Judd!

Sister Judd was able to send us a letter for Christmas and we are so excited!!

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,
Sister Judd
