Kids are the best. No, but really.

Mosiah 3:19 tells us "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."  Children are such awesome examples to all of us.  They want to please their parents, their teachers, and the Lord.  This week we had a couple of pretty awesome kids talk to us.

On Thursday we were out contacting and a family walked by.  When we tried to talk to the dad, he just waved us off and was just a little bit rude to us.  His son came up to us, though, intrigued by the two women standing in skirts on the sidewalk.  He talked to Sister Liu:

"What's that?"

"It's a paper talking about Jesus?"

"Jesus?! Whoa, cool! (Grabs paper.) Dad look, it talks about Jesus!"

We didn't talk to the family, but it was cool to see a boy who recognized something his dad missed.

Then again yesterday, we were out contacting and a boy came up to us and told us about how he went to our church before with his aunt and that he like it, and then his dad called him away.  I hope that these kids can someday make contact again with the Church.

The Christmas season is here!  In honor of the season, last night for our weekly District Unity we made gingerbread houses.  I haven't made a gingerbread house in ages, and it was fun to work with Sister Liu creating our masterpiece.  I'm pretty pleased with the finished product.  I think my favorite part is the Abominable Snowman chilling in the backyard.

That's all for this week.  Remember how awesome kids are.  They are such an important part of Heavenly Father's plan, and He loves them very much.  I love you all!

Love,

Sister Beer

P.S. Good luck to all of you people in school with finals. You're almost to Christmas break!
