¡Hola! Christmas time has come
again. I can’t believe its already here it has come so fast. I still have a
hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that its Christmas cause it just so
hot outside. Heat and Christmas just don’t add up for me. Here in Chile the
traditions for Christmas are a bit different cause here all the celebrating is
done on the 24th of December at night. Us as missionaries get the chance to
have dinner over with a family. This year, Yeny and Jonny invited us to come
with them I’m excited to go with them. They are one of my favorite families in
the sector. I’m happy to be with them. Here also, they have fireworks on Christmas
which is different but cool. It’s interesting how the tempturar can change how
the traditions are.
In the sector it’s been a pretty
good week. Sadly, Magarta, because of transportation problems could not come to
sacrament meeting this week. We are still with a confirmation waiting but she
has promised to come this next week without fail. Her son in law sat down for
us a bit in a lesson which actually was a big step for him it was great.
Also Agustin (don’t know if I have
talked about him) he is a man we found just knocking doors. He suffered a paralysis
2 years ago but he is begining to get his strength back. He can walk slowly now but he walks. This week
we went and visited him and talk about the faith (I do believe this is the
third time that we talked to him about faith) this time however we had a member
with us and for some reason (the member I think) he really opened up to us and
talked to us about how his addiction to cigarettes is what is hurting his
faith. Then the member begins to help him and explain how he was able to overcome
cigarettes. It was amazing.
Other than that things have been
pretty normal over here. I’m looking forward to a good coming week.
I hope you all have a merry Christmas
and that in this time we may remember our greatest gift which is Christ our Savior.
-Elder Harrison
