Merry Christmas!
In Sweden, Christmas is actually celebrated on Christmas Eve, so the festivities are about to be in full swing!
We were able to go to an amusement part called Liseberg last P Day and look at all the lights and the Christmas market they had, it was beautiful!
There are lights everywhere. Most of the windows have these little candle things or giant lighted stars, and it has helped to make the dark more enjoyable. The Swedish people know how to do Winter and Christmas!
Our ward also had a really big Christmas sacrament meeting/concert that was wonderful and thoroughly brought in the Christmas spirit. The ward was also so kind to us and gave us a lot of presents! The amount of candy I will end up eating from their gifts should probably remained unstated!
We have had the opportunity to talk to and teach many people about Christ recently. The promise of Christmas really is "Peace on Earth, goodwill towards men". The gift offered to us in this season is the invitation to find peace through Christ. He can change lives and make them full of joy and meaning. I am so grateful for the opportunity to testify of Him this Christmas time. Make him a part of your Christmas season!
Merry Christmas everyone!
