Hey i will like to thank you all that sent me those Christmas packages thank you so so so much. I loved the portrait of the savior and all the other cool stuff! thank you :) you know who you are .
Hello how are you!? (In a Spanish accent)
well this week was the best week of my life! Since Latin people celebrate Christmas eve we got to do a lot of fun things this week. on t he 24th we went to a members house they treated us like queens and it was pretty to see the whole family there, their children with their famiies and children, i just enjoyed watching the happiness and unity peace and love the gospel brings into the lives of each member of the family and how the spirit dwells there, as they all pray together, what a great blessing. After we ate tamales and posole and yummy desserts, we, all four of us sang a hymn and shared a spiritual thought. In front of the whole house, i was a little nervous but its ok.
After that we all went caroling with the whole zone about 8 companion ships in the zone. It was so powerful, the spirit was so strong, everyone was home and received us and it brightened their night. We had such a wonderful time. Then we went to the last house of the old man that our less active takes care of, she was there with her husband and kids having a feast, she was so excited to see all the missionaries come inside and start singing silent night and Joy to the World, the old man and his daughter were there and his daughter was crying tears of joy. the man is deathly ill and the brother requested a blessing for him, so the elders gave him a blessing and they were so touched by the spirit we all were in a circle around this man and his daughter listening reverently, the women kept looking at my companion and was so happy that they were giving him a blessing of healing. She accepted to be taught by the missionaries, which was another little miracle that happened. After she fed us all :)
Christmas was wonderful to see my families and feel their love.
:)
Now for a regular day of missionary work: We taught a family that we are working with and they are so wonderful, i for once got to teach the restoration in ENGLISH ( because i am called to teach in Spanish) in a home, besides the ones on the streets. We taught the children to their level and had them all participate, and used a lot of analogies to expalin the importance of a prophet of God :) We had fun I hope they did! they committed to come to church again but didn't because her son was sick, right...
we also went to the lights at the temple again, surprise! We went with the sisters and their investigators and our investigators. it was fun.
