TRANSCRIPT:
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed.
Behold, a virgin shall conceive,
and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel.
God with us.
For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor,
The mighty God,
The Prince of Peace.
There were shepherds abiding in the field,
keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them.
Fear not: for I bring you good tidings of great joy.
For unto you
is born this day in the city of David
a Savior.
A Savior.
A Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Jesus Christ.
God’s Only Begotten Son.
The only one who could save us.
From our sins, from our sadness.
He was born
so we can be born again
if we love Him,
remember Him,
follow Him.
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Rejoice greatly!
For unto you
and unto me
and unto all of us,
a Savior is born.
More than 2000 years ago, God sent Jesus Christ, our Savior.
Discover why.

TRANSCRIPT:
Being baptized in the Church has completely changed my life.
Before I found the Church, I was going down a pretty dark path.
Somewhere along the line, I lost my faith.
I made quite a few bad decisions.
I wanted change, I just didn‘t know how to change.
I have to make a conscious effort to rely on Jesus Christ.
I remember getting down on my knees and praying to Heavenly Father, “Just teach me what I need to know.”
If the Latter-day Saints have a truth that I don’t have, then I want to know.
I got down on my knees and prayed, and I decided to get baptized.
And I was like, “You know what? I think I’m ready to get baptized.”
I just got the sweetest confirmation in my heart, the most beautiful feeling of peace.
At the baptism, I felt completely forgiven. I felt like a new woman.
It’s like being born again. Like, it sounds so cliché but it really, really is.
Like, here you get to start over again. You get a do-over!
Now, when I look in the mirror, I'm so happy. I see light in that person’s eyes. I see a smile. I see someone who’s striving.

“Follow me” can be a request from a mom, a brother, or a friend. This request requires trust, belief, and action. Jesus Christ spoke these words to His friends and still wants us to follow Him today. If we act on His invitation, we can learn how to love others and ourselves. We can learn how to repent and be forgiven. We can learn to start over and navigate life’s storms. He showed us the way to find new life.

TRANSCRIPT:
“Follow me.” It’s a simple request. Sometimes spoken from a mother to a child, a brother to a sister, a friend to a friend.
It’s a request that requires trust, belief, action. It requires you to put your faith in a person who will lead you to safety, to peace. A long time ago, Jesus Christ spoke these simple words to His closest friends, and His invitation still stands today. “Come, follow me.”
Follow me, and I will show you how to love others and love yourself. Follow me, and I will show you how to repent and be forgiven and forgive others. Follow me to turn things around, to start over. To navigate the storms of life and the storms of death. Follow me to find purpose. Your purpose. God’s purpose.
He taught us the way, He showed us the way. And when we follow His way, we find new life.
Aaron learned that by loving those around him, he could fulfill God’s plan for him despite the difficulties he faced with his disability. In the face of challenges, he chose happiness. In the end, he explains, “I came to understand my autism gives me a voice.”

TRANSCRIPT:
Imagine you have dreams and goals, a mind that aspires to greatness, but a body that doesn’t function.
My name is Aaron Jepson, and I have autism. For 15 years, I was unable to communicate with my parents, with my brothers, with anyone.
Three years ago, I learned how to communicate my thoughts and feelings. They all realized how smart I was this whole time. The first thing I communicated was how much I hated my life. How could a loving God do this to me? Though I was bitter, I knew my parents loved me.
They taught me that I was a child of God. I came to understand that my autism has given me a voice.
My life has purpose and is meant to be full of service and love, to share the light of Jesus Christ with everyone. For this, I rejoice and am exceedingly glad (see Matthew 5:12).

God doesn’t love us for just an hour or two once a week. So, if church exists to help us feel closer to God, it needs to be bigger than a Sunday service. What if believers didn’t just form a congregation? What if they formed an extended family of faith? No matter where Latter-Day Saints live, and they live all around the globe, one thing remains constant: Every member of the Church belongs to a local group of believers. It’s called a ward.
Here’s the Relief Society. Every ward has one, and together they form one of the largest women’s organizations in the world. Tonight, it looks like they’re putting together care packages for neighbors in need.
It’s not easy being a teenager these days, so every ward has a strong youth program to reinforce values and let the kids know they’re not alone.
It looks like someone needed some help moving. Oh, it must be Monday! Time for family night at home. Tomorrow is a neighborhood party, and it looks like everyone’s invited! Sunday the ward meets together, but there’s no paid clergy. Everyone volunteers their time., That includes duties in the church, and service projects around the community, or just dropping in to say hello.
It’s what Jesus Christ did, and that’s why it’s what Latter-day Saints do wherever they are all over the world.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that following Jesus Christ’s example means we “mourn with those that mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort” (Mosiah 18:9, The Book of Mormon).

TRANSCRIPT:
In October 2016, Jon and Michelle Schmidt lost their daughter, Annie, in a tragic hiking accident.
Annie was vivacious and fun and loving. Fearless all the way. It didn’t matter if she had to bushwhack from her car straight to the place she wanted to go.
I had never felt that kind of distress before; it’s a weight that would crush you. If it weren’t for others, I don’t think we would have been able to deal with it. We received a lot of letters from these little children. They said things like we are praying for you, and it brought me so much comfort.
It was amazing to have a couple of really close friends drop everything and just be with me. It was so comforting and gave me strength that I didn’t know I had.
To have people mourn with you, to be sad with you, that you knew that there were those that cared—it was that kind of love and support that we felt from people that was absolutely overwhelming. We just hope that we can be half as good as people were to us for the rest of our lives, that we can give back because we know how much it meant.
Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can help you experience the joy of following Jesus Christ’s invitation in the New Testament to “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I shall give you rest” (John 15:12). His invitation has no expiration date—it applies to the burdens you carry today.

Jesus’s birth, His teachings, His miracles, His suffering for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane, His crucifixion, and His Resurrection from death mean each of us has the opportunity to return to live with God. #BecauseofHim #ComeUntoChrist

Wherever he walked,
Wherever he taught,
Wherever he healed,
He changed everything.
Then everything changed.
The man they called Master, Messiah, friend was gone.
But the greatest miracle was yet to come.
He is not here.
He is risen.
He lives.
And because He lives, if you reach out, call out, cry out, He is here.
Then, now, always, He is here.
During the good, the bad, the in-between, He is here.
No matter who you are or who you were, He is here.
No exceptions, no lost causes, at all times, in all places, He is here.
He rose on the third day. He lives today.
Find Him #BecauseHeLives.
Jesus Christ invites us come to Him with our burdens and find rest from our worries. He invites us to replace fear and doubt with faith in Him.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints support each other in our efforts to follow Jesus Christ. We invite you to worship with us and see how your life can take on new meaning as you accept the Savior’s invitation to “Come, follow me.” Find a church near you at bit.ly/3xbriJo

I will ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders that ye may know of a surety that I the Lord God do visit my people in their afflictions.

Life isn’t easy. It can be unpredictable. It can even feel hopeless at times.
Everyone falls short. We’re not perfect. We have challenges, regrets, ways we want to change.
And we can. Because of Jesus, our mistakes—even big mistakes—can turn into second chances.
He gives us the courage to face fears because He knows what you’re going through right now.
He’s been there. He feels your pain.
Bit by bit we’ll be able to understand his love for us.
Broken hearts can heal and feel whole again.
Mistakes? Sure, we all make them. And we all keep making them.
But Christ forgives us. And he keeps forgiving us.
Follow Jesus and find hope. Learn how by signing up to talk to missionaries like us.
God wasn’t finished speaking to His people with the prophet Noah, or with Moses or Abraham. And he still has more to teach us today. We don’t believe in a Creator who did His part and then left His children to their own devices. We believe in a loving Heavenly Father who is deeply invested in the lives of all His children.

God has more to say. We don’t believe in a Creator who did His part and then left us to our own devices while He lounges on a beach in some distant corner of the cosmos. We believe in a Heavenly Father who remains deeply invested and intimately involved in the lives of His children.
We worship a personal God who never sleeps, never rests, never takes a day off in pursuing His work and glory of enticing us to share His life.
God has more to say, not only because changing circumstances require new responses but because an eternal God still has much, much, much more to teach us.

Yeah, looking back, there are things I’d do differently. Things I’d take back if I could. I learned a lot about myself. I worked on some stuff, but I let my priorities shift and I lost my way. I can’t shake my guilt. It’s a lot. And over and over it just keeps eating at me.
But I want to change. I want to be better. And we thought that maybe you could help.
Jesus Christ can help, and we can show you how.
You may not always understand everything that happens, but you can come to know that God has a plan for you—that He will never leave you alone or lead you astray. He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die for you so that you can return to live with God again. Jesus understands what you are going through and will help you through it.

Home is not four walls with an address. It’s not a humble shack or a mansion in the hills. Home doesn’t depend on having a perfect family, or even having a family, really. Home is the people who see our best and worst selves and love both. It’s our steady foundation—our safety net. And church can be a little bit more like home when we love and forgive like Jesus did. So meet with your neighborhood missionaries, and come home to a church family near you. Because home is more than where we happen to live. It’s the people who help us become the very best we can be.

TRANSCRIPT:
Joy. Some find it in a meal. Others, in a melody. It’s at the top of mountains and the bottom of coasters. It’s in the big moments and the not-so-big ones. It’s that elusive feeling we always seem to be searching for—yearning for.
Maybe it’s because joy is the reason we exist. The center of God’s plan. And it’s why He sent his son, Jesus Christ. His sacrifice takes all the pain, the sorrow, the heartache we experience, and replaces them with joy. Joy that lasts more than a moment. Joy that can endure grief. Joy that can lift us even on our darkest days.
So in your never-ending search for joy, don’t forget to search here (scriptures) and here (church) and here (prayer). Because the strongest joy is grounded in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you have questions about the meaning of life, you’re not alone. Human beings have been asking those questions since long before you were born. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches there is a bigger purpose to life than merely existing. God sent us here to earth to learn and grow to become more like Him. He has a plan for each of us.

Video transcript:
What is faith?
It means to trust in something, to hope for the best, to believe in something bigger than yourself.
It means to try again, to face the future, to have courage.
To have faith in God is to believe without seeing, to live his teachings, to pray for answers, to trust in his timing, to have greater confidence when facing struggles.
God is so aware of the little things in our lives and He’s so willing and ready to help us if we just include Him.
Talk to Him. Have an honest conversation with Heavenly Father. Say, “This this is how I’m feeling today. I need your help with this.”
As we take those small steps, just praying, that’s how you grow your faith.
It’s a journey that can change your life for the better forever.
Grow your faith in God. Talk to missionaries like us by signing up for a visit.
Jesus comforted those who were poor in spirit and He can comfort you. He paid the price for every personal redemption story and He can help you change. He lived a perfect life and felt the pain of every person so that you could feel His peace. Learn more about the joy Jesus can bring by talking to missionaries at bit.ly/3uvMNDq

Life, every life, every heartbeat, began with Mom, who willingly accepted a divine role, a thankless job, a sticky, sleepless, soul-stretching career for nine months. 90 months. 90 years.
She taught us right from wrong. Left from right. Baking soda from baking powder.
She slept little and worried much. She laughed, lathered, rinsed, and repeated, and repeated.
Who taught us to love God? To love others? To love ourselves? Who prayed with us and prayed for us? Who read to us and taught us what the words meant? It was Mom. Who was the champion? The cheerleader? The chief inspiring officer? Who was the queen of bedtime? Dinner time? Holidays? Holy days? Early mornings? Late nights? Music lessons? Life lessons? And everything we cling to with all our hearts?
It was, it is, and forever will be, mom.

Temples are the House of the Lord. They’re holy places where Latter-day Saints make sacred promises to God. Examples include promises to keep His commandments, and the promises husbands and wives make to each other and to God during a temple wedding, known as a sealing. There are more than 160 temples in operation around the world, from Sacramento, California, to Washington, D.C., to Manila, Philippines.

TRANSCRIPT:
If you’ve ever seen a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you probably noticed it does not look like other buildings. That’s on purpose. So, what makes it different? Well, let’s go back to biblical times.
From the very beginning, God’s people have built temples. Moses had his tabernacle, a sort of traveling temple. Then Solomon built a temple—one of his greatest achievements. During His life, Jesus Christ spent a lot of time in the temple at Jerusalem, helping, healing and teaching. And basically, that’s still what happens in temples today. Here, let me show you.
A temple is different from other church buildings. Inside the different rooms, people make promises with God. Promises to keep His commandments. Promises to be good husbands and wives. Promises to share what we have to help take care of each other. Because Latter-day Saints believe families are eternal, temple marriages are performed to last forever, so families can always be together, and that includes our ancestors too!
So, who can go inside a temple? Well, first, everyone. When a new temple is built there’s an open house for the public. Afterwards, it is only open to members of the Church who have prepared themselves to make sacred promises with God.
The truth is, temples aren't special because they look pretty from the outside. Instead, it’s about what happens in the hearts of the people inside. Because that’s where God does his most important work.
Jesus Christ was born over 2,000 years ago, and the message of His birth is one of joy and love. Arrange a visit with the missionaries this season and feel the Spirit of Christmas more in your life.
Although the Savior was born over 2,000 years ago, the story of the Nativity still applies to us today. This year, #LightTheWorld with love by serving others as He did and become part of the greatest story ever told.

TRANSCRIPT:
We are Darcy and Brent Burnett. We live in Portland, Oregon, and we created a race that we do every year in our community that raises money for children’s cancer research. The race is the Hero Up Half Marathon and 5k, and then we also do a kids race. I'm always the Hulk, always. It’s just allowed everyone to come together and have a really fun day on a day that for us normally would be really difficult, and that’s pretty special.
When our son Keith was three years old, he was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer. He fought for 19 months, and eventually he passed away. His treatment was miserable, and yet he was not a miserable kid. He would just always say, “I love you., I love you” over and over again.
When he passed, I couldn’t just sit still, because it just hurt. I needed to keep busy, I needed something to do. I was running one day, and I just thought, you know what? I think I can put together a run to raise the money and have it go specifically to children’s cancer research, and I started thinking about how we could make it unique, and Keith just really identified with superheroes. That’s kind of how it started.
Children’s cancer treatment is brutal. I just feel like we’ve got to come up with a better way to treat these kids. That’s my goal is to keep raising money to feel like it’s helping others, even if it helps in a small amount. It just helps me feel like I’m doing something worthwhile and something meaningful.
This specific piece of equipment here is one that the lab purchased with the funds that we donate from our children’s cancer race. We have people who show up from work and Church. I’ve never felt more peace, seen more compassion from people. The strangers that want to do something to contribute to this cause that is so personal to us, it’s just really inspiring every year. I think compassion is love, it’s empathy, and I think we’ve just learned to think more like the Savior, and when we’re hurting, it actually helps to reach out to other people and let them know that they’re not alone.
Christ taught us compassion is something that should be part of our lives, because we are all sons and daughters of Heavenly Father trying to show compassion to others like others did to us. That’s where I find peace; that is healing for me.
