Hello to everyone! I hope all is well.This week was our Christmas Conference. President Christensen talked about teaching with the Spirit, and it was a great lesson. Then after that, we sang some carols, shared Christmas experiences, and played games. One of the games, called BUNKO (looks like a BINGO board to me, but it's played with dice) was way fun! Then we ate, Virginia ham and some cheesy noodles with vegetables and rolls.... that's something I haven't eaten in a long time! WOW! I love it when Sister Christensen cooks! Then President gave us all a candle in a sweet handmade, painted container that is very common in Puebla. It's called Talavera. If you want to Google that, I am sure Google will help you all understand what I mean.
I feel as if our ward is progressing. My companion and I feel like we are on the edge of finding some new investigators. The Lord blesses us, even through trials. The Lord lives, this is His church. I am so grateful for my life and that I am where I am right now. Some elders and sisters now are starting to categorize me as one of the "old missionaries" on the mission. But I am happy I am here. I testify of the truthfulness of this church. Missionary work is the Lord´s work. And we, you and I, are His missionaries. With a name tag or not. I invite you all to follow the example of the Prophet and Apostles and preach the gospel! #SharetheGift
SERÁN BENDECIDOS!! Les amo mucho! Espero que disfruten de cada momento y experiencia espiritual que tendrán este mes. Al hablar de Jesucristo en el tiempo de Navidad el espíritu les iluminará una luz nueva en sus vidas, y les enseñará mas del amor de Dios que se encuentra en Juan 3:16. Que el espíritu les revele el propósito de Navidad! Testifico que serán bendecidos, si lo buscan, en el nombre de Jesucristo, Amen.
(We are so BLESSED!! I love you very much! I hope you enjoy every moment and spiritual experience that will come this month. Speaking of Jesus Christ in the Christmas spirit illuminates a new light in our lives, and teaches more about God's love that is found in John 3:16. May the Spirit reveal to you the purpose of Christmas! I testify that you will be blessed if you look to Him. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.)
