Sunday December 2

We had a nice Fast and Testimony meeting today, with lots of little ones getting up there to bear testimony.

It was very sweet.

Little ones who you could barely see the tops of their heads over the pulpit......the sweetest!

For the second hour we had a meeting with all the age 12 and up people to talk about the new Come Follow Me program for families and individuals.

I am very excited about this and how it can add to my own personal study and to our family scripture study.

I have always loved when things I am studying at home line up with stuff at church.....and now this is perfect!

It will give a great opportunity to share and discuss on a deeper level, I think.

At home and at church.

I look forward to it :)

After church, we had dinner and then we watched the Christmas Devotional.

Our prophet focused on gifts that the savior has given to us.

I loved this take!

This is what he said those gifts were.

1. He gave you and me the capacity to love.

2. The ability to forgive

3. repentance

4. The promise of everlasting life

He promised that these four gifts will give us more and more joy as we accept them.

These gifts were made possible because Jehovah condescended to come to earth as the baby Jesus.

I really enjoyed listening to him.....

We got a little bit of snow this morning, and the kids are hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

Ha ha.....don't think that is gonna happen :)
