We bring you good tidings of joy
The angel declared to the shepherds in the
fields Agood tidings of great joy@ on the night of the Savior=s birth. Now
we are the Aangels@ who carry
this same message to those we meet. We
bring good tidings and great joy. The
gospel is the Lord=s plan to help people find joy and peace in their
lives.
Each time we make and keep a covenant, we reap a
blessing. When we live the law of
obedience, we learn discipline. When we
live the word of wisdom, we learn to control and care for our bodies. When we live the law of chastity, we gain the
blessing of more stable relationships.
When we keep the Sabbath, we are blessed with rest and refreshment.
As we help our investigators repent and turn to
Christ, we bless them through the covenants they keep. We are the messengers who bring truth and
light to the world through the covenants of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To be worthy of this sacred assignment, we
need to daily commune with God, to invite Him into our lives, and to do His
will with honor.
We encourage each of you to make the pending
Christmas season a time of personal joy as you share the gift of the gospel
with people you find and teach. There is
no greater call and there is no greater gift.
President and Sister Ulrich
More of the CMM to Love
The Canada Montreal Mission now
officially includes the eastern time zone of the territory of Nunavut, going
north to the North Pole. This means we
have Santa Claus, so better be good!
A new family of four has been added
to the Iqaluit branch, and others are also attending regularly. Is this the furthest north branch in the
world? We=d love to know!
Mission Miracles and Memories
Everyone prays for miracles and I
know that we don=t actually realize how often they
occur. One Sunday a good friend came up
to us and said she wanted to be baptized.
We didn=t quite believe it but we set
everything up with the English elders.... Two weeks later she was
baptized. Every missionary wishes for
someone to coe up to them and say, AI want to be baptized.@ I didn=t even realize it was a miracle, but
now looking back the Lord has his hand in this work. Sister Robinson
My highlight: being a
missionary! Elder Weigel A neat experience happened
during metro singing. A man walked by
the choir and down the halls toward the exit.
He hadn=t been contacted by anyone and I had
a distinct impression to talk to him. He
went out of sight, and I had the impression again. I stopped singing and ran down the hall. I caught up with him close to the stairs and
contacted him. I got his number and he
seemed interested. As I walked down the
hall back to the choir I heard ABe Still My Soul@ echoing loudly down the hall and
felt the rush of the spirit for heeding His impressions - a great feeling. Elder Webster
Because we helped Amy we met Tracy
and she was really impressed with the missionaries and with the Church in
general. Then, because we came back from
Q-city we did not have time to do laundry.
Amy asked us if we had laundry B what a blessing that was!
Now this was the coolest part: Thursday I forgot one of my socks in the
dryer. Because Amy left Friday morning
at 5:00 a.m. she could not give it to me, so Tracy kept it and called us. We picked up my sock and now we are contact
with Tracy=s entire family. Her husband works during the weekend so he
wasn=t in church but Tracy was with three
of the kids. Tracy went up during fast
and testimony meeting and shared with everybody in church that she believes
that you meet people for a reason, and how much peace we had already brought t
her home. She was crying, the kids were,
and I was just falling apart. They all
loved church and talked about it so enthusiastically. The promise in our mission calls is true B I have been blessed like never
before. Elder Caers
From New Members
J=ai été un buddhist environ 4 ans. D=après mes rêves, la souffrance, des difficultés, et des
problèmes dans la vie, j=ai rencontré des personnes qui m=ont aidé à repentir. Il y a un pasteur qui me disait toujours de
prier et demander le vrai chemin, c=est à dire, la vrai église.
Et le moment ou les missionnaires sont venus j=étais prèt pour recevoir l=évangile. Aujourd=hui je sais que le Livre de Mormon est vrai et cette église
est vrai. J=ai la foi en Jésus Christ. Je sais qu=il vit et son esprit me guide et me protège. Folly
Messangan, Chicoutimi
The first time I heard of Christ=s Church was during a commercial I
saw about family when I was a young boy.
I was never really close to my family, so I thought it was nice that
close and happy families do exist in the world.
Many years later I met a [missionary], Sister Olsen, singing
Christmas carols at Place des Arts. She
gave me a card of Jesus, so that I can call for a Finding Faith in Christ
video. Unfortunately I never got the
video. I did, however, keep the card she
gave me of Jesus near my computer at work.
Every time I would have a bad day at work, I would look at the card and
I would feel peace. One day I called for
the video again. I told the person on
the other end I wanted it right away, and I insisted I come pick it up
myself. I was told to come by the
Montreal Ward and someone would be waiting for me. I said fine and after I hung up the phone my
life would change forever. I started
meeting with the missionaries. I could
not wait until our next discussion. My
discussions with the missionaries were on of my happiest times in my life. The feeling of happiness and peace that I
felt made me realize that what the missionaries were saying was true. Many things have change in my life since I
became a member. I now sleep well. My relationship with my family has improved
greatly. I am more calm, cool, and
collected with my supervisor as I have prayed for her. I no longer hang out with the wrong crowd, ad
now look forward to meeting good, righteous people. Because I know Heavenly Father and Jesus
live, it makes me want to be a better and happier person. Costa Labos
