Elder Bloxham - Hello family :)

There are so many things i want to talk about today, but i'm just going to limit it to a few things because of time. But i wanted to start by saying how amazing our mission conference was!! Oh my goodness, it was the most amazing Christmas program I have even been apart of! They had music and parts for different missionaries to share, but it seriously built my testimony of the Savior so much!! Just like in "I know that my redeemer lives". "I know that my Redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives. HE LIVES, he lives who once was dead, HE LIVES, our ever living head. He lives all glory to his name, HE LIVES my Savior still the same, HE LIVES and while he lives i'll sing, he lives, our prophet, Priest and King." We sang this song at the end of the meeting, and i couldn't even finish because i was crying.. It was so amazing. And as i sang those words, the spirit testified that HE LIVES!!! Jesus Christ lives, and is with us every single day. What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He comforts in times of need, in times we feel alone, he is there, and will be forever. I love him so much and i can't believe i honestly have this opportunity to serve him every single day. What an honor it is.

I love the Christmas season, and how we can talk about Christ in every single second of every day, and let people feel the Holy Ghost. It's absolutely amazing.

I was reading in Luke chapter 2, when Christ was born. When i read it, it makes me realize that he started in a bad place, and it was at the very beginning! There was no room at the inn, so they went to a stable and wrapped him in swaddling clothes. He wasn't born in a nice place, but he was born to wonderful parents who loved him dearly. He grew so fast and helped so many people. He loves us individually, and knows us by name. HE LIVES, and if you get scared at any time of your life, know that he was too. He was alone, "Why hast thou forsaken me", and had to deal with it alone. But we don't. Christ is there. Just knock!

I love you all and i hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!

Love,
