Pues.... Feliz Navidad and all that. Apparently, Christmas
is next week or something!
This week has been great as usual!
P-day was pretty fun. As a zone we played some games in the
gym and wrote some alternate verses to "Follow the Prophet" as our
zone conference talent. Found out last P-Day that most Subway and Costa Vida in
the mission give missionaries 60% off, so that's pretty great. I finally got to
meet the members we live with since they got back from their 10 day cruise to
Tahiti. They're pretty nice and love the missionaries!
This week we tried to get in contact with all the members of
the Spanish Branch because we have some events coming up. That helped a lot
with my Spanish because we've been doing a bit of English work too. It is funny
how much Hispanics hate the cold here! Some people won't even open the door
they just yell, "Quien?" when we knock then say it's too cold to open
the door. The people I got to meet were super nice and excited to meet me.
Since not too many people would open their doors to us, we were driving all
around our area. I've kinda got a feel for it now, but it's so dark and we
'andele pues bounce' between places so fast I am not super familiar.
We started teaching a new family this week, hopefully it
continues to go well. They've talked to missionaries off and on for nearly 8
years so we have to make sure we are very proactive and bold when we speak to
them. Pray for Raul y Karina!
One really cool thing we did this week was we helped out at
the Food Bank. For a few hours we made up boxes and boxes of food. It's amazing
the sheer amount of stuff that gets donated during the holidays! It was really
fun to work in the assembly line and meet a bunch of the Hispanic families in
the area.
I got to speak in the English ward this week. I spoke on
Christlike Attributes and how we can develop them. Everyone said I did a good
job and I felt pretty good about it. Edgar came to all We've got big plans this
next week as we come closer to Christmas!
Remember to pray and read Scriptures every day! It's amazing
the power such little things have.
Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!
