"So is your official title like Mormon Catholic?"

We were blessed to meet a man that I've grown a great love for in this past week. His name is Mike Macneil, and He's cleaning up his life! He's 23 and after a rough past he found God about a year or 2 ago. He's got 3 pit bulls, the biggest being 140 lbs of pure muscle, and skull (it's head is the size of a boulder). We've been able to teach him multiple times in the past week, and he's just ready to "come unto christ". We were able to teach him yesterday, and he asked us "So is your official title like Mormon Catholic?" we were just like "What?" "You guys aren't a part of the catholic church?" *Cue lesson The Restoration of the Gospel Of Jesus Christ* Afterwards he was like "Oh ok, makes sense. Book of Mormon, Cool stuff!" he looked over at his girlfriend, and said Stephany! I'm gonna be a mor-man! you can be a mor-woman" His girlfriend wasn't as excited, but that'll change once we teach her more this Friday :) so that's mike! This is a thought that's been playing on my mind this week. Jesus Said "Ye are the light of the world" I've pondered on that throughout my life since i first memorized that way back sophomore year. This week, I've been thinking about the real meaning of Christmas, and how the world these days is just so focused on stuff! But as a missionary, where we are basically traveling hermits, we don't really worry about stuff. Occasionally we find a cool knick nack and we go for it, but It has taught me to find that true joy comes in our interactions with our fellow men and women. We are the Light of the world! Joy comes in being with family! With Friends! with talking with the random punk kid at school, or the old lady next to you in the shopping line! I challenge you to reach out to someone today and have a great conversation with them, face to face. I promise you that you will find true joy! as you are do this you will find the light in your lives! Also fun thing. This week, we had a parade here in New glasgow. Our challenge bring christ back into christmas, how we did it. we took the only trailer we could find, and we filled it with hay. I suddenly was Joseph, and Sister Nowlon (one of the sister missionaries here) was mary. My companion elder cox, became the purple wiseman, and sister osborn was the angel. Well, it was awesome :) Elder Johnson
