Christmas Service

By Danido E., age 11, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

A boy named Danido stands next to a tree.

A group of children place food and other items in bags as part of a service project.

I went to a Christmas activity for my ward. Every year we make gifts to give to people who don’t have very much. I really enjoy doing this activity. Jesus Christ taught us to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. He wants us to help others who are in need. I feel that this activity has brought me closer to God and helped me feel God’s love for His children on earth. God wants us to love one another.

I love going to church. I have learned the gospel and know what Heavenly Father wants me to do. He wants me to follow Him and become a better person.
