I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Eve and are are having a wonderful Christmas morning.
I hope you have found much joy during this holiday season where the Holy Ghost can enter into the hearts of many. I hope you had a wonderful Sunday and Sacrament Meeting learning and remembering about the Birth of the Savior. Remember that Christ is the meaning of Christmas.
Remember the true spirit of Christmas is all centered on Christ. This is a wonderful day to remember the birth of the Savior of the world and how his purpose could now be fulfilled.
I highly recommend reading Luke 2, Mosiah 12-16, and 1 Nephi 11 to learn about the Savior and the prophets and apostles that foretold of his ministry. Ponder the words to the Hymn "Abide With Me, 'Tis Eventide." Although that hymn references after the Resurrection on the road to Damascus, it truly teaches us how we should want the Savior in our life. Christmas has been good. We did a big service project making care packages for infants.

This is such a wonderful experience in the CCM. I am grateful for all the spiritual experiences I've been able to have. I know that I am doing the right thing and that the Lord wanted me here to serve. I am so grateful for our living prophet, Thomas S. Monson and his counselors and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. I know that Christ lived and died for us and that He is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. I know that this Church is true and I am so happy to devote two years to my Lord even Jesus Christ.
I love you all! Have a very Merry Christmas. — at Centro de Capacitación Misional México.
