Merry Christmas!

Dear Family and Friends,


This holiday season has inspired much reflection in our hearts and home. We are so grateful for the star that arose in Bethlehem with the purpose of leading others towards the stable in which our Savior was born.

In an attempt to teach our boys what Christmas is all about, we have been reenacting the search for the Savior. These reenactments have caused our minds to ponder - what was it truly like for those individuals to locate the stable? How much more difficult would this journey have been without a star shining brightly in the heavens?

We are so grateful for the stars that shine brightly in our lives - we are truly blessed with inspired leaders, books, family, friends, and personal revelation that guide us towards our Savior. It is remarkable that we have not been left alone to find our way! We Believe in Christ, his teachings, and his love for all man-kind!

We appreciate each of you and your kind and generous lives that set an example to all who surround you. Continue to let your light shine as did the star of Bethlehem!

Merry Christmas to all!


Love,

Nate, Angie, Conner, and Caleb
