This year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has a 2 minute video called, "He is the Gift" and it's amazing! I'm sure you've all seen it by now, but if not, watch it! It is played in 10 different languages and centered around Christmas and our Savior Jesus Christ. It is to be the first YouTube Video for all of December for everyone to watch all over the world. Our zone leaders also mentioned that in New York, it will be shown in Central Park on the big screen.

As missionaries all over the world, we have the opportunity to share with people, families, youth, members, etc., this wonderful video sharing the purpose of Christmas centered around our loving Savior, Jesus Christ as "The Gift" of Christmas.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
These past two weeks in December have been wonderful to share this message of "He is the Gift". It has reminded me or why we have Christmas and to be a part of god's work, sharing the gift of Christ's love with the people of Argentina. What better gift to give this season than of that to share the importance of our Savior as the message of Christmas. The best gift anyone could give this Christmas season! We often times forget what the biggest gift of all is and that is our loving Savior Jesus Christ. We forget with our Jesus Christ, there would be no Christmas. This year I'm so grateful to be spreading this gift, that of the gospel.

We can’t fully understand the meaning of Christmas unless we understand the meaning of the Savior’s life, Atonement, and Resurrection.
I cannot think about the birth of the Savior without thinking of His words to Pilate: “To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” (John 18:37).
As we begin the Christmas season, may we consider the scriptural prophecies about the Savior. They are not just odd statements of coincidence; rather, they are profound statements of purpose and promise about His life and mission and what He means for each of us.
May we take time this Christmas season to renew our covenants to follow the Savior and to do His will, just as He did the will of our Heavenly Father. (Elder Robert D. Hales)
