Counting the Days for Christmas...

Day 12...

Fall Semester is OVER!!! It has been crazy, but at the same time it went by SO FAST it's not even funny... I guess I had a good semester... I'm waiting for some of my grades to be posted. At least one of them is an A :) How cool is that? Given all the challenges I had to face, it was a great semester!

I had to clean my house today because tomorrow there's white glove cleaning check... Oh well... Also, I get to stay here over the break. I'm hoping to go to Salt Lake for Christmas, but this, just the snow will tell...

I also prepared a package to send to my parents through my friend Anselmo... I really hope they like it. I wish I was on my way to Brazil... But the world is not perfect... At least not yet.

"Of all things of heaven and earth of which we bear testimony, none is so important as our witness that Jesus, the Christmas child, condescended to come to earth from the realms of His Eternal Father, here to work among men as healer and teacher, our Great Exemplar. And further, and most important, He suffered on Calvary’s cross as an atoning sacrifice for all mankind.

At this time of Christmas, this season when gifts are given, let us not forget that God gave His Son, and His Son gave His life, that each of us might have the gift of eternal life."

(Gordon B. Hinckley, “The Son of God,” Ensign, Dec 1992, 2)
