Sister Macey Karen South - 2025-2026 Mission

Hello everyone!! And Merry Christmas!! Last night was Christmas Eve, and it was so so special! We went to stay with 3 other Sisters in the mission, and my companion Sister Nam planned an amazing devotional for us. She hid lanterns around the house and then turned off all of the lights. We all searched for the lanterns, and once one person found one, they lit the way for the others. We kept going and working together until all 5 lanterns were found. Afterward, she then explained that the first lantern represented Jesus Christ. The second was the prophet, the third was apostles, the fourth was pioneers, and the fifth was us. I LOVED this analogy. I love the way that each person builds on the light of Jesus Christ. He really is the light! And H e is the first light. This helped me remember that there is so much good in the world, but it only is possible because of Jesus Christ.  As you search for the source of good in your life this season, search for the primary source! Don't stop at...

Merry Christmas! Christmas is sooooo close, which is crazy! It does not feel like Christmas at all here haha, which I am honestly so glad about. But I hope you all build some great memories and keep your fun traditions going! This week has been filled with miracles! On Friday we had a new friend come to English Class where we wrote Christmas cards and sang Christmas songs about Jesus Christ. She said it was the happiest she has ever been and she had never experienced anything like it before. I am so excited for her to continue to feel the pure joy that comes only through Jesus Christ. The Lord is preparing so many people!! There are miracles all around! We don't even have to look for them, we just have to open our eyes and we will see them! I invite you all to see the miracles this week that come from knowing about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Because even just knowing about it is a blessing! I love you all! Merry Christmas!! Love, Sister South
