Well, this week has been crazy for two reasons.
One, I got the flu. So, I've been 'out of action' for the last week.
Two, lots and lots of service.
The combination of the two meant the delay of my recovery and I'm like only 70% good now but I trust it will get better over the next couple of days.
But because of that, I had a decent amount of time to think and ponder the meaning of Christmas. Now, the Light the World thing today is to share a song or picture that describes Jesus Christ the best this Christmas.
Now, one song I've found on my mission is called Tulkoon Joulu. Let's see if I can translate a few lines because it's pretty powerful.
"Joulu on taas, riemuitkaa nyt."
Its Christmas again, time to rejoice
"Lapsi on meille tänä yönä syntynyt."
A child has born to us this night
"Tulkoon toivo kansoille maan, pääsköön vangit vankiloistaan."
Comes with hope to the nations on earth, Frees the prisoners from their prisons
"Uskon siemen nouskoon pintaan, olkoon rauha loppumaton."
The seed of faith rises in our breasts, and peace everlasting
With all the Christmas pop music and the festive tree and what not, let us not forget the real reason. Because Christ was born, we have hope, we have faith, we have a chance to return to our Father above. Christmas is truly a time to be grateful for and let us rejoice.
Ok, here's the rest:
- Sickness update: I don't have covid and I'm feeling better. Just a head cold now
- Went caroling twice and let's just say singing in Swedish is not super easy
- First district council. We have a goofy district in which nearly everybody has a tie to Washington! One lives in Snohomish. Another used to live in Everett. Third in Puyallup. Fourth was born in Silverdale and moved out. It's kinda wild but cool at the same time.
- Some snow shoveling for an older couple and also moved a really large cabinet. Still feel that one a bit.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas and I'll catch you guys next time in time for the new year!
The work awaits,
Vanhin Hsu
