In this cover story interview with Utah Valley Magazine, Alex Boye talked about Christmas on his mission:

"From 4 p.m. to 1 in the morning, I cut hair and people told me their stories. When I was done with them, they had gone through a transformation. Then my companion would give them a Book of Mormon. I cut a lot of hair and we gave away a lot of books! It’s still one of the best Christmases I’ve ever had. We always remember serving people who can’t pay us back."

Do you remember the tender story President Eyring told about his wife at October general conference?

"Now she can speak only a few words a day. ... Every night and morning I sing hymns with her and we pray. I have to be voice in the prayers and in the songs. Sometimes I can see her mouthing the words of the hymns. She prefers children’s songs. The sentiment she seems to like best is summarized in the song 'I’m Trying to Be like Jesus.'

"The other day, after singing the words of the chorus: 'Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do,' she said softly, but clearly, “Try, try, try.” I think that she will find, when she sees Him, that our Savior has put His name into her heart and that she has become like Him. He is carrying her through her troubles now, as He will carry you through yours."
