HOLA familia!!
I hope everything was
wonderful for you this Christmas!! It was such a wonderful blessing to Skype
with you this Christmas and see everyone’s faces :) Anyways, Christmas was very
quiet, it poured rain here, and it was crazy!!! I got soaked in about 2 minutes.
Anyways the Hermanas had to come in early on the 24th because from about 8 to 3
people set off fireworks nonstop. I didn’t
get any sleep and that was really fun. J But for Christmas Eve everyone
eats a lot. I don’t know how I feel
about that.
But anywasy we worked and
talked and tried to share a message about Christmas with people, sometimes we couldn’t
so we would just plugged along to the next house and shared the message.
Anyways our investigators are progressing!! We have about 5 baptismal dates set, 2 are for sure, Wendy who is 19 is on the 17th,
and Allison, she is 13 and is on the 10th. Her situation is really interesting,
her mom and brother are members and they are going to live with their father in
Miami for a better schooling education at the end of this month. The condition
is that her mom can’t have any communication with them and it is the most
heartbreaking situation I have ever heard of. But I know that the lord has a
very specific plan for here and I hope that we can help her before she leaves.
Yesterday we had a
wonderful mission program where we invited our investigators and less actives
to remember what the significance of Christmas is. It was about 5 stakes worth of our misión. And there were over 750 people who came, excluding
the missionaries. I happened to be part of one of the Zones to sing in the
choir, and since every single Latino Elder thinks I have a good voice I ended
up singing a duet. Try and go look on the mission blog that Hermana Fortuna
has... it’s possibly there. That was terrifying, but so good. The spirit was
really strong and an even better Christmas present was that Frank Caral and one
of his kids came!! He is one of our investigators. He has some problems with drugs and alcohol
and they need to get married but they are coming along and they said they will
have their marriage papers or what not ready by the 10th!! Yay!! Remember what this month was all about, Christ.
He is the best gift we could ever have in our lives, because he has given us a
second chance at a second life and to become better as people. He knows us
better than anyone else in this world, and he knows exactly how to help us in
everything. He is our Savoir and Redeemer. I have gained such a testimony of
the atonement and the Savoir here. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t
use the atonement, because I am so imperfect. We have the opportunity to become
something unimaginably great. We get to become more like him and return to live
with our Heavenly Father again. That is the best gift in the world.
