Christmas in 춘천 🎄

Highlights: This week was good, we had a great day at church yesterday, and 2 less actives came, one of which hasn't been to church in 6 months! We told him we'd give him cookies, so he came haha. We also had a teaching friend come to church who we just invited to come after she came to our Christmas party, and she came! She got along great with the members and today she decided to have a meal with them. We got invited and then uninvited lol, but hopefully it goes well! Other than that the week was chill, we met with a few people, one of our teaching friends gave us a cake on Christmas eve haha. On Christmas we didn't have too much planned, and we had a bunch of little nativity things we got from the mission, so we decided to visit members and give them out. We also dressed up for the special day.

We also decided to visit James's house just cause. 

This is where our entire church supply of Books of Mormons went. James got upset when we started looking through them. See the photos for even more of his stash.

Spiritual Thought: 

In honor of Jeffrey R Holland I'll share a portion of his latest general conference talk "And Now I See"

The claims about this book have been attacked and dismissed by some unbelievers, the anger often matching the vitriol of those who told the healed man that he could not possibly have experienced what he knew he had experienced.

He talked about how many people attack the church, or the Book of Mormon, or our testimonies. He told a story of the blind man who was healed by Jesus. After the man was healed, people try to attack his testimony, saying that Jesus was a sinner. The man just responded, "Whether he be a sinner … , I know not: [but] one thing I [do] know, … whereas I was blind, now I see.” when people try to attack us with other thoughts or opinions, it doesn't have to make us question what we already know. If we just hold on to what we know and trust God and continue to have faith, none of those other opinions or attacks will have any effect on us or our testimonies,
