We start each Christmas Day with a talent show…a devotional by President and Sister Marler and
birthday cakes to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
This year in our Multi-Zone Conferences we talked about the greatest gifts we have ever been given…we watched the video "He is the Gift"
and committed for the month of December to give the Lord a gift.
The gift of ourselves, our hearts, our all.
Our message on Christmas day included thinking of what our next step is, what gift can we give
to the King of King and Lord of Lord's.
We talked about our preparations for the new temple,
and our desire to invite many to come to the house of the Lord
to receive the gifts that our Heavenly Father has for them there.
Here are a few of the pictured highlights from the talent shows in Trujillo and Chimbote.
Here we have dueling violins and drums…
