Visitors to Times Square were in for a surprise on Nov. 27 as its famous billboards became a larger-than-life tribute to the true reason for Christmas: Jesus Christ.
The billboard takeover at Times Square in New York City was part of Light the World, an annual movement to bring people from all over the world together to share the light of Jesus Christ during the Christmas season. The beautiful nativity scene that emerged from the blackout was a tender reminder of the Savior’s birth and why we need His light and love in our lives.

Most of you will know that my wife Pat passed away last July with complications from Covid and other respiratory problems. I am brokenhearted and lonely, but that is the price we pay for love in the world. I look forward to rejoining her.
But the wonder of life goes on, including for these two great-grandchildren who, with our other family members, were the delight of Pat's life. Her passing and their arrival are a reminder that both birth and death are a part of the Savior’s plan of happiness. I dearly, deeply miss Pat, but I am grateful for a new generation in our family. This is why we speak of family so much in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for, as President Russell M. Nelson has said, salvation is an individual experience, but exaltation is a family experience.
I bear witness of the beauty of this plan and that all is well if we live for its promises. I am trying to live worthily of those promises and the trust that those living on Pat's side of the veil have in those of us who have access to the temple where so many of those promises are revealed.
Jaren Hall is a special dude.
Dual sport athlete.
He made history as the first black BYU starting QB.
Then he had multiple concussions.
And he’s still dealing with injury.
Here’s the newest DEEP BLUE. https://t.co/mgnacOymqc
My youngest son Kyson is really starting to figure out how to control his speed. Still lot’s of work to put in but he’s getting much better every workout. He’s going to be special once he figures it all out. @J_tom24@Kyson_hall @DawsenHall
