Hola a todos!
Christmas was simple, but wonderful! I felt so blessed to be able to talk to my family on Christmas. Hope your holidays were happy as well. Now we are coming up on my favorite holiday ever: New Years! There’s something so fun about a new year full of new starts and possibilities. Set some goals and enlist the help of Him who makes all fresh starts possible. He will help you in all of your spiritual and temporal pursuits.
I read this quote by Neal A.

The revelation of Jesus Christ is so much more relevant and demanding of us than that. That quote is from the book , Even As I Am, which refers to Christ’s instruction to us in the Bible to become like He is: perfect. We won’t attain that in this life (NOT EVEN CLOSE!) but we sure can try.
If you aren’t sure, read 1 Nephi !7:50-51 and substitute your New Year’s Resolution like this: “And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done. And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should….________________”
The Lord loves effort and He loves helping us achieve our worthy goals. After all, the point of the plan is progress. I’ll be praying for you!
Love,
