For Christmas Eve and Christmas the Sister Missionaries in our area went caroling.
The four of us went out singing Christmas hymns and we were invited into many homes!
We shared scriptures about our Saviors Birth from the Bible and the Book of Mormon.
Last night as we were caroling we ended up at a door where no one was answering.
As we were about to stop singing the neighbor opened her door and rushed out.
We asked her if she had a favorite hymn, she answered with "Silent Night."
As we started singing a wonderful feeling of light and love surrounded us.
This woman had tears streaming down her face.
After we finished the song she said "God sent me four angels tonight."
She hugged us, we wished her Merry Christmas, and as we were walking away we felt as if WE were the ones visited by an angel.
My companion Sister Steadman then said "Now, That is our purpose."
Our purpose as missionaries is to invite others to come unto Christ.
I know last night everyone in that circle of song felt a little closer to Him.
John 8:12
"Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
