Merry Christmas everyone! the birth of the Savior is always
a blessing to experience. This Christmas, I spent some more time reading about
Jesus Christ and his birth. I gained a greater testimony of the truth of His
life then ever before. Jesus of Nazareth was born, He is the Messiah, He is the
redeemer of all mankind, He is the king of kings and lord of lords. Many people
I have met say that Jesus Christ was only a man and not divine. I want to bear
my firm testimony that Jesus Christ is the son of God. He was Jehovah before
his earthly life, He was the son of God during his earthly life, and
He is now the Risen lord of us all. He did mighty miracles, taught the
doctrines of the kingdom, and prepared the way for us all to come back to Him.
Last week, We visited the Catarman and Catbalogan Zones, and
gave a training in each one of them. I have many personal friends in those
zones, and It was a great opportunity to see them there. however, this
week also had some low points. long story short, We have 8 missionaries in our
apartment right now. They broke some rules, and they are now here until
Transfer week. It's been so hard. but, we are doing the best we can to
work with them and help them get back into the work. Because of that, Our
teaching has been very limited. we are trying to do some more this week. We are
also expecting a baptism this week. Brother J will be baptized! he's ready,
we just need an interview and one more lesson. We are confident that he can do
it!
I have been reading the scriptures for a long time now, But
I have gained more out of them in the last 2 months then any other time before.
They are coming alive to me! I have been changing myself to better fit with the
gospel and become more Christlike. I have felt a huge weight off my shoulders,
and I feel a lot lighter. It's easier to be natural and more exciting to share
the gospel. It's also easier and more fulfilling to be obedient. We obey
because it's really the only logical thing to do. If God gives a commandment,
and we don't do it, We don't gain anything from it.
New years was just another day. No fireworks, No big
celebrations near our house. Just chillin. President Invited us for lunch, so
that was good. other then that, just another day.
I hope everyone is happy and enjoying the new year. This is
my last new years in the mission, so here we go!
Till next week
Love,
Elder Kuehne
p.s. the star wars reference is a low-blow. That
hurts.
