Buenas noches, I promise I'm not being apostate, we helped
our mission president out with something for like an hour and a half today and
he said I have to communicate with home so here I am :)
This week was a blur. We have been preparing for zone
conference. I'm not sure if I mentioned this already but we got asked to MC for
our Christmas Zone Conference. Sooooo basically we are in charge of organizing
the whole thing. It's been a little stressful too cuz this is like the ONE
'fun' thing we do as a whole mission all year so people have some high
expectations. We decided to do an entrance video and it turned out super good.
It took us sooooo many nights in the study room just thinking of ideas till we
landed on one we liked. We also spent a lot of the week collecting the
different talents and things that will be happening in the zone conference. It
looks like a decent lineup, we have a lot of singing, a few skits, and then a
few other random acts. I'll letcha know how it turns out.
We FINALLY had another lesson with Tom and Grace and Valentina.
It was pretty good overall, we talked about commandments. We found out that the
Velez (the family they live with) got called to serve a mission in McAllen
Texas and they leave in February. We also found out that they are going to go
their old English ward until then soooo we have to pass them off to the English
Elders. It's kinda sad but I think it will be better in the long run since Tom
& Valentina don't really speak Spanish so they can get some better
fellowship in that ward.
We tried by our golden fam this week but they didn't answer
the door. Holidays are busy times :/
I don't think I've talked about "The Christ Child"
yet..... And I'm not sure why cuz it's pretty much just the best thing ever!!
If you haven't seen it yet go to www.lighttheworld.org right the heck now and watch it. It's
a 18 minute video of the nativity but it's accurate to the Scriptures and to
history! I've seen it literally 50 times at this point and every time I have
new thoughts and feelings about it (I even cried once :) ). We've had an
awesome opportunity to visit a bunch of members and show them this video and It
has been AWESOME. They all love it. Honestly I'll probably watch this video
every year for Christmas till I die.
We went to the temple this week and that was awesome as
well. They did a cool remodel on the inside in some parts so that was cool to
see. Afterwards we went to the distribution center and I got this cool Book of
Mormon that is organized and edited like a play so it says Who is speaking,
where they are saying it, and what time. It doesn't add or subtract anything
from the Original words so it's just a different way to study it. Pretty
excited to use it with Come follow me 2020.
Today for P-Day we did a white elephant gift exchange and it
turned out super good. Highlight gifts: Haunted clown doll, a potato and Dijon
mustard, coffee maker, and a dove decoy. Then we played some mafia and I got
picked to be mafia which never happens so I got wrecked. My partner in crime
and I
Anyways that's how things are going!
Los quiero
