I do hope
that you all do excuse me for the future misspells. Basically the keyboard is
doing it. notsdrav sdtme ja ja ja.
So as we are
now counting down the clock to the 25th of December, we are all really pumped
and excited because it’s freaking Christmas! I feel like I’m running onto the field of the
super bowl, just ready to play! If you
know me, then you know that I love Christmas. Not only am I preparing many people to receive
heartfelt gifts, but I am going all out on service for one to another! Super excited!
With all that
excitement every day, well let’s just say that this week was pretty rough. But there has to be an opposition in all
things right? Because if not, how could
I enjoy Christmas so much? This week we
had a lot of time walking and contacting. Let’s just say a good portion of our
investigators either stopped investigating or just disappeared. It’s absolutely frustrating when you try to
call someone and they pick up and hear you just perfectly, then hang up. If you don’t want us to come over just say
that. It’s very rude, but it’s kind of
the culture. But we are hoping to find
more families together, because now it’s summer break for the schools, so the
kids are home. And also that means more
possible robberies. Maybe. We will
see ja ja.
Matias is
trying his best but now it’s gotten to the point that he isn’t putting his best
nor is he putting priorities straight. The
best cure for setting out your priorities is saying prayers. Have you ever had a decision to take that was
so hard? Did you ever feel like maybe
you might make the wrong decision, or have doubts that if you do choose the
right decision you have doubts how it will all work out? Everyone will get them throughout this mortal existence. It’s part of being imperfect. If we knew all
the right answers it wouldn’t be called a time of probation, a time to prepare
to meet God. But honestly it’s what
makes life fun. Sure it’s stressful, but
nothing is more reassuring when you can see that in your life you’ve made many
good turns as you go down the path of righteousness. Praying to our Heavenly Father and asking for
guidance is the ultimate showing of humility. Ask and ye shall receive. The purpose to this life is to become so close
to God, our Heavenly Father that we don’t just have him on speed dial but we
have him right next to us just to ask. We
come to Him and he walks beside us. When
your priorities in life are only to do the right thing in the eyes of God, your
path becomes clearer, and when you can’t see any more than a few feet ahead,
you will have the courage to continue walking. I know that the more I pray, the more likely I
will make the best decisions for my life and the lives of others.
We had a
really cool experience in our zone meeting where we talked about sharing a
video called a savior is born. Here is the link: https://www.mormon.org/christmas?cid=HP_SU_11-29-2015_dMIS_fSPC_xLIDyL1-A_
It is a good
way to help us know that there is a Savior that was born, but what I loved even
more was the other video that you can see on the website called a world without
a savior.
That one hit
me harder. It really made me think of
the atonement of Jesus Christ. It was absolutely
cutting to the core of what I needed to hear. I recommend that we can all share it on Facebook,
twitter or with friends who need more help this Christmas, and for everyone who
needs the Savior. We have usb cards that President Franco gave to every
missionary and we will be able to share it with so many people who don’t have
many things in their house. It’s hard to
find one house that has a computer and internet, so we are very grateful for
that gift to help us share Christmas.

| "freaking huge" package from home!!! |
It’s been
raining a lot and it’s been very hot, so if you are suffering from the cold
just know that it’s better to shiver than to sweat, because you don’t have to
change from wet clothes to dry ones. So
be thankful ja ja.
Sergio Nunez
brought a friend to the church who is a freaking stud. He’s 18 years old with the guns of a 30 year
old lumberjack arm wrestler! His name is
Fede and we will be seeing him this week to see his interests. He is really nice and very participating
during his first day in the church. So
we will be hoping that he will progress fast!
I got your
package mom!!!! It was freaking huge…
but everyone is enjoying the candies from the states and I’m already getting
