Christmas Time In The City!

Dear all,

Christmas is already here! My last Christmas on the mission! Oh boy! Isn't it great! I might actually get a white Christmas too! Not that I really want that, but hey, at least it'll be like in the Christmas songs!

This past week was a little hard, but we were able to teach Darryl and have a powerful lesson with him! We also were able to set him for baptism on the 25th of January! We're hoping to get him ready by then, but if not, that'll be okay. I know he will be baptized some day no matter what happens! We will be teaching him again tonight! We are totes excited!

I hope everyone has a great Christmas! As I think about Christmas I think a little more about why the Savior had to come to the earth. The Savior and Heavenly Father knew even before the earth was created that we would be sinner and would need an Atonement. The Savior came to suffer that Atonement for us so that we may have access to that mercy. I really think Alma 34 and D&C 19 do a great job of explaining the Atonement.

I love you all and hope that this Christmas season we all try a little harder to access the Atonement and not let the Savior's sacrifice go to waste.

With tender love and care,
Ofa atu,
Elder Timmy Nelson
