Sister Paige Milar: HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!

Oh I just love this time of year! It is so great to feel of the spirit and see the joy that the light of Christ brings to everyone's lives. This week we were able to go on trade-offs with two different sisters. I first went with Sister Pierce. She is from Pleasant Grove and is so adorable. I loved the time that I got to spend with her. We were on campus and were able to see some miracles.

We ate lunch with a less active named Daniel. A couple of years ago he said that he didn't ever want anything to do with the church again. Well a few weeks back he stopped us and asked if we had eaten dinner yet, we told him no but we were needing to go to an appointment sooner than later. So he said well I'll just run in and grab you a quick snack. So we followed him in and he told us to get whatever we wanted. Not knowing who this kid was we just grabbed a little something. He continued to ask us all about the KUB and President Volz (Branch President). We were a bit surprised. So we asked President Volz about him and he told us that he was a Do not contact and that he is so happy that he reached out to us. He set up another time to meet with us and we had a wonderful conversation with him and we are praying that he will make it to church tomorrow!

Then we had a wonderful zone conference. It was great to hear all the talks that were given. We watched a wonderful video called Nativity. IT was incredible. We were able to see more of a different kind of portrait of the nativity scene. I really enjoyed that it showed that it wasn't all easy and dandy. That Mary did struggle when she was giving birth, that they were probably very frantic searching for someplace for her to deliver.

Another interesting thing we talked about are Angels. Angels have been a huge part of God's plan from the beginning. Adam saw angels. Angels appeared to Mary to Joseph, the shepherds. Through out the ministry of Christ there were angels. Angels appeared to Joseph Smith and they can appear to us too. I truly do believe in angels. I feel them around me at all times. My favorite scripture is D&C 84:88 It talks about how angels are round about us to bear us up. I truly know that they are all around us. Especially during these holidays.

I love you all I hope you know that.

I hope that you have a very Merry Christmas!

Love Always,

Sister Milar
