In the middle of the festivities the Temple and Moroni appear to remind of the reason of the season

As we celebrate His birth we remember that without Easter there would not be any Christmas

We are thankful beyond words to be serving Him.  To carry His name on our tag is our Christmas Gift

Across the street from the park we found this sticker on a telephone pole.next to the entrance of the Temple "Let us not forget the true significance of Christmas - the birth of Jesus"

We are so thankful for the blessing of being in the Dominican Republic serving the Lord and his people.  Our charge on the PEF/Self Reliance mission is to help Him.  Section 104:15  "And it is my purpose to provide for my Saints, for all things are mine"  We are and will be highly involved in serving Him in doing just that.  We realize that the key is SAINTS. Not all members of the Church can claim this promise because of falling short of being SAINTS.  To all of us comes the challenge of becoming Saints that we might claim the blessings.

WE LOVE OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND WISH YOU A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS AS YOU REMEMBER:
"HE IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON"
