We had a food bank service again down here in our area. Cars line up hours before it starts at 7am, so we decided we would get there at 5 am to "tract" each car. We went car to car asking if they'd be interested in a message. Got tons of people's phone numbers, but sadly we barely made a dent in the long line of cars.
Went to the temple today and did sealings for the first time! Wow, that was a powerful experience. Went on a hike afterwards with some great views! It's crazy to think I can do such a thing on December 20th haha!
Here's something cool I read in my scripture study this week.
"Christ’s Atonement not only provides forgiveness from sin and victory over death, it also redeems imperfect relationships, heals the spiritual wounds that stifle growth, and strengthens and enables individuals to develop the attributes of Christ."
Life isn't perfect, neither are we. But Christ can get us there eventually. Life is better IN the gospel, that's facts.
Love you all and Merry Christmas!
