What is the best gift for the most important birthday?

December 13, 2010


Dear Family and Friends,



I’ll send the name and model number on the razor home in a letter this week. I called the 1-800 number on the back of the phone and it they said it was thirty dollars for just the charger. Then I found the same exact model of razor in an add for 34 dollars for the entire thing. If you can find me cheap charger for it don't worry about it. I thought it was silly how the charger was 30 dollars and for a brand new one it was 34 dollars.



For Christmas I don't need a phone card we can use the cell phones that we have. I’ll call sometime before 5:00 not completely sure though.



No, don't send an anonymous package to me. If we both get an anonymous package and then I don't get anything from my family, he'll know that it must have been my family who sent the packages because my family wouldn't have not sent me a package. Just send him an anonymous package please.



Not much to talk about this week. Last Sunday we had two people come into church and talk to bishop and said we want to learn about this church and know more about the Book of Mormon. Bishop invited us into his office and we talked to them and they invited us over to dinner so we could teach them on that following Tuesday (two days later) when we got there, they were no longer interested. They got a hold of some anti-Mormon literature and listened to our message but told us they were no longer interested. They are getting married in a couple months and had a baby on the way and were real sincere the first time we talked to them.



Elder Yeaman’s quote of the week: "What is the best gift for the most important birthday?"

Explanation: When it's someone’s birthday we normally tend to give them gifts that we believe will please them. With it being Christmas season we celebrate the birth of Christ and by so doing shouldn't we give a gift to him as well? What do you give to someone who has everything? In Mathew 25:40 it tells us as we help others we in reality are only helping our savior. Additionally, self improvement where we try to improve ourselves is pleasing to our savior and father in heaven. When giving a gift to Jesus Christ you don't necessarily need to spend money on others, but rather give up your time, talents, and abilities to help others and improve ourself spiritually. We’re receiving gifts and abilities and blessings everyday from our father in heaven because he loves us so much. So this Christmas season, no matter what you are already doing pray to see what you can give for the most important birthday of all.



Love Elder Yeaman
