Light The World

Alright, alright, alright! So, Christmas is rolling in for all of you americans now (its' been rolling in since the beginning of november for us here, since thanksgiving is in October here) but I am so excited! I love Christmas, I love serving others, and I love Jesus! So as a missionary I've been working hard to help roll out the "Light the World" Challenge issued by the Church. Its simply serve others in 25 ways for the 25 days leading up to christmas. I'm stoked for it! Many people we talk to in an average day, are quick to say "I've got my religion! have a nice day..*SLAM*(door now in my face)" but now it has been going "I have my relgion!" but before they slam to door "Oh, yes? you Love jesus? I love Jesus! Here's a challenge Jesus issued to us..." Mat 5- Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on the hill cannot be hid neither do man light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candelstick! that it giveth light unto all that are in the house "So here we see that Jesus Challenged us to be lights to the world. We are inviting you to take that challenge! and be a light to the world!" "oh how wonderful" they say, "how can I do that?" "Well, we are inviting people to serve 25 ways in the 25 days leading up to Christmas. What better gift could we give to Jesus?" And so many people have been accepting the challenge up here in Nova Scotia! It's too legit to quit my friends. I want to throw down the same challenge to all of you! Will you follow the example of Jesus christ, and serve your fellow men this christmas season? Love Elder Johnson
