The Little Drummer Boy

With Christmas coming soon, I am very excited for many things! One major thing that we as missionaries get to do on Christmas is calling our families! As a missionary I only get to communicate with my family once a week through email, so getting to call home is a great opportunity that I am very thankful for! However, besides all the presents and candy and food, what is Christmas all about? It is about the birth of The Savior, who has brought us something even better than a phone call home! In about a year and a few months I will be heading home from my mission because my two year service will end. I will be returning home just because that is what happens after a period of missionaries service has ended. But  Jesus Christ, however has brought  us the opportunity to be able to return to live with God after our time on this earth is up! Being able to return to live with God is something that would not have been possible without Jesus Christ.

Blessings of The Commandments

The Lord has declared that  “If ye love me, keep my commandments” ( John 14:15). There are many other scriptures that say the same thing. But why do we have Commandments from God? What is the Purpose?  Many would say that they are restrictive, or there are just too many.  Let’s take a look at why the Lord has set up commandments to follow, and how they are blessing to us.
