Searching for Chirstmas Trees

Last Saturday, us and several other Senior Missionaries went on a "quest" to find Christmas Trees in Mongolia.  Most Mongolians do not celebrate Christmas because they are not Christian, but they do celebrate New Years.  There are some decorated trees around, but they are New Year's Trees. 

However, our building is decorated with CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!

 We do believe in Christ and glory in his birth
 and celebrate His life and our Grateful for His love and His Atonement!

Sister Nay.  Did you notice that both Elder Nay and Sister Nay have red noses? 

 We now know how Rudolph got his red nose.

 This tree actually looks quite spectacular at night time.

My you be filled with the light and love of our Savior this Christmas Season!
We testify that He Lives.
That He loves all of us and wants us to use the gift of atonement that he has provided for us all.

Scripture for the week: 2 Timothy 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
