I hope you are all enjoying this time of year. It is a great time to serve one another and really grow strong relationships with your Heavenly Father. This past week I have seen many miracles happen. The first one is a family. A set of Elders met this family about a week ago. They came to church and are going to be baptized on the 28th! This is truly a christmas miracle. It is a mother and her 3 boys. After they get baptized, they are hoping to teach the father and the oldest daughter. When we were at their house, they let us hold their 6 week old chihuahua's! They were so cute and adorable. They were just so little :)
My friend Bew back in Wrexham is also going to be baptised on the 28th of December! Alot of christmas miracles happening.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sing a duet with my companion in sacrament meeting. the bishopric had asked us the week before to do it. So we willingly accpeted. Knowing I am not very well musically talented, we practised everyday. It was just a short primary song called Shepards Carol. The first time through we sang it together. The second time it was in a round. And there was no piano to cover up our voices. So it was quite the sight. No one left the meeting, so it wasn't too bad ;) It was a growing experience for me. There is a scripture that talks about whom the Lord calls, he qualifies. So I had faith that he would bless me by my obedience. and we saw that. We had 3 our our friends we are working with come to church. 2 of them are some of the members son and his wife. they live in Japan but they have taken the discussions before. They really are a nice couple.
Then Sunday night we went to a Stake choir concert. It was WOW! I was so impressed by the talent of the stake. There was this 9 year boy that played the piano better than anyone I have ever seen. It was amazing. Then there were lots of songs performed by the choir and congregation. You could really feel the spirit there.
One of the most spiritual moments I felt this week was at sacrament meeting. After we had just got done singing. The next song the primary children sang how could the father show the world. I felt my Saviors love so strong. I knew then the Lord was watching over me. I could feel the Saviors love. To some it might have been just another sacrament meeting, but to me it was pure love of Christ. Let us all reflect upon what we can do this week to better remember our Savior and Redeemer who is Christ. I pray that you all may have a safe and Happy Christmas.
Love Elder Hammond
