A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief

If you cannot already tell, I absolutely love hymns. I think that they are the best way to bring the Spirit so strongly into any setting. This is also a very beautiful piano piece of A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief which is another favorite hymn of mine. To me, this song shows us examples of Christ-like love that we try to emulate. In the last verse, Christ comes to the man and tells him that the good he did was not only to the man who needed his help but also to Jesus Christ himself. Our Savior was the perfect example of love, charity, compassion, and fellowship to everyone around him including complete strangers. The best way we can become like him is to do what he did and help others in any capacity. I have also attached the lyrics to the hymn  here .

One Christmas I will Never Forget

The most memorable Christmas I have ever had was the year we moved overseas to Lisbon, Portugal. We lived in a branch of maybe 40 people on a good day (including our family of five) and where I was the one and only youth. Which means that when our family moved into the branch they had to call a young women's leader and a Sunday school teacher pretty much just for me, until either my sister turned twelve or other youth joined the branch. The young women's president that the branch president called was a wonderful lady in her early twenties who spoke excellent English and was able to teach lessons and speak to me in English, which was great (I don't know if I could have handled all three hours of church in a foreign language I had no previous exposure to). The woman who the branch president called to be the youth Sunday school teacher was an older Portuguese grandma who had never had the chance to learn English, and the only words she knew were "thank you". At the t...
