I hope you are all
having a wonderful Christmas-time, and I hope you've all felt the Spirit
testify to you the real reason for this season. It's such a great time
of year to be people who know who Jesus Christ is and know that we are
members of His church. I can't wait for Thursday to be able to see my
family and celebrate with them. Because I'm pretty darn excited for
that, I'm sorry if this is kind of brief.
There's not a
ton going on right now. A lot of our work is in the YSA branch, and
Christmas break isn't too conducive to teaching lessons. To add to
that, Jady, our Korean friend, flew home last week, but we're hopeful
she'll keep going with the church. It's all good, though. I know the
Lord has people for us to find and teach here. We just have to find
them.
With the Christmas season here, Elder Macmichael and
I did get the chance to hopefully share some Christmas spirit yesterday
in church. We were asked to perform a musical number, and ended up
singing "Away in a Manger", which I think has become my favorite
Christmas hymn. I just wanted to share the third verse with you:
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there."
That is my prayer this Christmas, and I'm grateful for everything the
Savior has done to answer it for all of us. I know that He is real,
and that He does love us all so very much. I hope we all remember Him
more and more every day, especially right now as we celebrate His humble
birth.
Thank you for your love and your prayers. Please please please have a great Christmas! I love you all so much!
Love,
Elder Hafen
