Merry Christmas!!!

How thankful I am for this time of year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! It has been a wonderful Christmas, in spite of me being sick. My parents and I exchanged gifts this morning, as well as opening gifts from family in California. Most of the gifts are things I will take to Russia with me: a suitcase, a scarf, chap stick, etc.

More importantly, I want to share my testimony of Jesus Christ. I know that Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. He was born on this earth to gain a body just like I have. He lived here on earth, and He lives still! I know that my Savior lives- that He was resurrected after His crucifixion. I am grateful to Him for the great sacrifice that was made. It is though the Atonement of Jesus Christ that all mankind can be saved and return to live with Heavenly Father. I know my Savior; He is my loving friend.

I love Christmas time because of all the lights and the symbols of Christ. May we each remember why we celebrate Christmas. May we all remember to retain the Christ in Christmas.

Much love.
