My Savior, Jesus Christ

For the past few weeks for about a half an hour a day, I have been looking up scriptures about the Savior.  I have really enjoyed doing this because I have come to know my Savior a little more.  One thing I have really come to realize is that without him and his sacrifice, all would be utterly lost.  He is the only one who could do what was asked.  He, though sinless and perfect, descended below ALL things and made it possible for me to change from my weaknesses.  He humbly submitted to the Father's will and went through persecution and mocking and even death in the most cruelest manner.  Why did he do this for me and us?  He did it because it was the only way, and he loves us.

Are You Truely Hungry? Lets Feast!

The scriptures hold all of the answers to the pressing questions we have.  It is wonderful that our loving Heavenly Father called Prophets to write down the text we now enjoy today.  We all need to sink our teeth deeper into the feast of the scriptures our Father has provided for us.

Thanksgiving or Pre-Christmas?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.  I had a ton of fun eating lots of food like I always do at Thanksgiving.  Yesterday morning before all of the food and fun, Elder Wells and I went to Walmart for a few last minute things.  It was funny to walk around Walmart on Thanksgiving with all of the Christmas things out and Christmas music playing.  Also as we drove around  town, people already have put up their Christmas lights.  It was amazing to see people already getting into Christmas before Thanksgiving was even past.

Leaves

With fall well on its way, the leaves have been falling.  Most of the trees up here have pretty much lost all of their leaves.  It is an exciting time of the year seeing the world around change from fall to winter.  This change brings a lot of work.  Yesterday I saw a lot of people out racking and cleaning up the yard before it gets too cold.  Elder Leslie and I even had the privelige of helping an older lady clean up her leaves.
