¡Hola! i hope everyone had a great Christmas
this week and are gearing up for a great new year. This week has been a great
one here in the mission. We had a great Christmas! We spent Christmas Eve with
familia Gonzales it was a nice very homely feeling it was great. Also, Christmas
day I got to skype home which was great. Other than that its really been a
normal good working week.
Things are harder now around the
holiday times cause everyone is coming and going often. For an update on our
investigators, first and for most, is that Jacob is going to be baptized on the
4th of January and I am so excited. I have seen the hand of the lord for him
getting him to this point where he is ready to go. Through all his problems, in
his job, and the problems with his uncle, nothing has damaged his faith or made
him doubt. He has fought through all of it with faith in our savior. Just
recently he was thrown out of his house by his uncle because of his
meeting with us. Now he is with his cousin. He is living in another part of the
city but he still makes the now almost 1 hour trip to come meet with us and to
go to church. Nothing can damage his faith it only builds it.
Andreas and Magerita are doing good
to their progress has been slower cause we are still waiting on an answer about
the marriage problem but something really cool that happened lately. Andreas
has a niece that comes and visits him a lot. 2 Sundays ago she was there and Magerita brought
her to church. Her name is Elizabeth and she is 12 years old. After church, 2
weeks ago, we had a noche de hogar and she asked for a Book of Mormon- so we
gave her one. We found out yesterday that in 2 weeks, she read the whole thing.
ALL OF IT. And when they talked about it in Young Women’s, she acted as if it
was the most normal thing in the world. It was embarrassing for the other girls
when she asked if they had read it too. Not only that but when they talked
about mutual she asked if she could bring friends and now she is going to try
and bring all her friends to mutual. She is really a gold child. Sadly, she lives in a different area then us. We are going to try and get missionaries sent
over to her house.
Carlos is doing good. He came to
church this week but really seems to have lost alot of his intrest in the
gospel. He is still meeting with us. We are trying to get him more involved
with the members, but things with him right now are slow.
I don’t know much what else to say
this week. Things are good. Its super hot. Super hot. I’m looking forward to
winter for sure. I hope everyone has a great week and a great navidad.
