To Our Dearest Friends in the Great Raymond Alberta Stake,

This last year has certainly been filled with challenges for so many in our community and stake. We have mourned together and wept together and sought comfort together. And, as we face the uncertainty of the months and years ahead, we will certainly worry together but also move forward in faith together!

With all of this uncertainty, we are so glad that now, at this Christmas time, we can show gratitude together for the birth of our Saviour! We know that His birth and subsequent life and teachings and, most especially, His Atoning Sacrifice, bring to us hope and peace that surpass the confusion and complexity of our mortal distresses. Jesus really is the answer! Our prayer is that we can all feel His love deeply and constantly!

We love you! We pray for you! We are so grateful that we can face the hardships of life together and that we can also unitedly experience the power and joy that comes from living in the covenant path!

We wish each and every one of you the Merriest of Christmases as we keep our focus on Jesus and His glorious Plan!

All our love,
President Chipman
President Pilling
President Davis
