Early in the morning, Mary Magdalene, a friend and follower of Jesus, came to the tomb to care for Jesus Christ’s body. To her astonishment, she found the tomb empty. Later, as she wept outside the tomb, a man addressed her—a gardener, she supposed. But then He said her name: “Mary.” And she saw. It was Jesus Christ, alive again. The knowledge was too wonderful to contain. Her faith propelled her into a joyous sprint as she ran to tell the others.

It’s a testimony that still propels people today. You can know just as she did that Jesus Christ lives. Because of Him, everyone will live again. If we follow Christ, we can find true happiness on earth—and look forward to eternal joy in the life to come.

It’s hard to imagine the anguish Jesus Christ’s followers must have felt on the day after His death. The night before, His body had been lovingly prepared and placed in a garden tomb. Now they were left to figure out how life could possibly go on without Him. Almost certainly His death had taken something from them, but what they had lost was nothing compared to all that His life had given. Whether they understood it or not, Jesus Christ had forged a new path forward for all who would follow Him, one lit by a hope that shines brighter than any darkness we may encounter. John 14:15–16, 26–27. Matthew 27:55–61

After a series of one-sided trials, Jesus Christ was sentenced to death by crucifixion. Roman soldiers mocked and scourged Him and nailed Him to the cross. But instead of condemning them, Jesus Christ begged His Father to “forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Even in His darkest moment, Jesus spoke of love and redemption. With His dying breath, Jesus addressed His Father. “It is finished,” He said (John 19:30). An unlikely testimony came from a Roman centurion and those who were with him: “Truly this was the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54). The realization is just as awe-inspiring today as it was then.

Work lights shine on the exterior of the Alabang Philippines Temple as dusk settles over the construction site. Passers-by can catch a glimpse of the work going on inside the edifice through the large windows at the front of the building. Stained glass will be installed behind the transparent glass later. The exterior cladding has been completed, but many months of the work remain on the interior and grounds. (Photo: LhexiMont)

Unless we see all the meaning and joy of Christmas—the whole of Christ’s life, His profound mission, the end as well as the beginning—then Christmas will be just another day off work with food and fun and festivities.

The true meaning—the unique, joyous meaning—of the birth of Jesus Christ was not confined to those first hours in Bethlehem but would be realized in the life He would lead and in His death, in His triumphant atoning sacrifice, and in His prison-bursting Resurrection. These are the realities that make Christmas joyful.

This year, let us remember the greatest gift ever given: the Atonement and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

As you know, last year my wife and I and some close friends from Utah created a non-profit 501c3 called IHHELPP! I just returned from the Philippines about a week ago with IHHELPP after building, in a day and a half-- TWO DISASTER PROOF HOMES-- for two families (One was for the Stake President). Many lost their homes in the Tacloban area (where the hurricane hit the hardest). There were about 6,000 lives lost in the area. We took 8 boy scouts from Utah with us to help with the building of the homes for their Eagle Scout project. During this trip, we were invited to the home of the Vice President of the Philippines and are in the process of presenting our disaster proof home concept to him to be accredited so we can help more families there and save more lives in the future. We witnessed NUMEROUS MIRACLES on this trip and one was to see BYU STUDENTS already there helping out! The Lord's tender mercies were obvious on this trip. We slept on the floor with people that lost everything. Very humbling. Another Miracle was the incredible missionary work we were able to do through service. We hired two drivers and both drivers wanted to take the missionary lessons because they were moved by the spirit after taking us around. Another miracle was that we were able to teach the local Filipinos how to build these homes as a source of industry for them because many of them are unemployed. These are only a few of the Miracles that we experienced that I wanted to share with you and President Wheelwright (BYUH President) because I am so proud to work with you and so many wonderful students.

UPDATE!! Immediately following the last session of General Conference today we held our first Board of Directors' meeting for IHHElPP! Discussed was the progress, challenges, plans etc... The Board of Directors is composed of pass mission Presidents, Business people, Educators etc... This picture was taken prior to making a Public announcement of the new Private LDS Standards school which will be built in the Philippines. The announcement was made at the Filipino Fireside! The general belief of members of the board is that only through education can Poverty in the Philippines be overcome. Present at the Fireside were return missionaries and mission presidents who served in the Philippines and even a few celebrities such as "Melanie Marquez Lawyer" and Cielito Del Mundo who bore their testimonies of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and pledge their support to build a Private LDS School in the Philippines! Grass Roots efforts will continue as the Board Seeks more support and momentum. Piggy Banks will be distributed to college students who are eager to participate in the building of the school. Helping with the design of the New School is accomplished Architect Benji Candari who has already shared many wonderful ideas on the concept of the School. As Brother Rene Doria made the Announcement during the Filipino Fireside the spirit was strong, tears were shed and for many Filipinos this is a dream come true! The School's location has not been made public at this point but the New Private LDS school's purpose was made very clear by Brother Doria, namely to Help the Poor in the Philippines! Those interested in helping to build the the school or just learning more can go to ihhelpp.org IHHELPP is being sponsored under a Non-Profit Organization so any donations are Tax deductible. The School will be staff with many experienced professors, successful business people, and those that simply want to help. You can contact members of IHHELPP by going to: http://ihhelpp.org There has been many sacrifices, miracles and faith promoting experiences that is the foundation of the New Private LDS School.

Board of Directors for IHHELPP

29/08/2013

I know we are all excited to hear some updates of the building of a school in Philippines so here it is..

Aloha everyone!

Many of you know that we are in the process of building a private LDS school in the Philippines. After making our annual visit to that country about two months ago and after speaking with numerous bishops, stake presidents and church leaders as well as church members, it was determined that the need to have an LDS Private School was great. With the success of completing our first housing project in the Philippines this year for Ward Members, we gained confidence, motivation and a strong sense of urgency to build a school for our Youth! We determined that the school needed to be sustainable (thus came the idea for a Water Part which would allow future students to help pay for their education). Remember this SCHOOL WILL NOT BE SPONSORED BY THE LDS CHURCH. However, the directors and many of the Board Members of the Non-Profit School concept are LDS. Our goal is to help teach correct principles, integrity, charity, service, entrepreneurship and the gospel to our precious Youth.

Please view the concept http://youtu.be/zmfqSZQiYg4 , share it and comment on it. We truly want to hear your ideas prior to breaking ground. We value your input. In a recent independent survey we found that for every 1 Filipino Student accepted to BYU-H about 50 were turned away! With a new LDS Owned Private school in the Philippines we can change that statistic! Please comment on the concept drawing!

Aloha! Our most generous Sister Staples is in need of some help from people who are business minded, artists that can draw, who are good with their hands doing crafts, and most of all are willing to help in her fundraising brainstorming. This is for our Philippines LDS School fundraising. She would love to talk and invite them on Sunday dinner at their place. (Aug. 18 at 6:00 in the evening). Mahalo!
