FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW
can you believe that Christmas has come and gone?? It honestly just seems like a blur to me. haha It
turned out to be one that I will never forget. Christmas in the mission is very very
different as you can expect, but the spirit of the epoca is the exact same!!! On Christmas day we had the opportunity of
eating with one family in our ward called Gonzalez. They are THE BEST! They were so sweet to us and fed us WAY too
much food, and really made us feel like part of their big family. They had two piñatas and a lot of desserts and
just a lot of visiting and meeting new people (which I love so much!) It truly was a special Christmas for me,
difficult, don´t get me wrong! (I just
wish I didn’t have the best family in the world back in Utah that I miss) hahaha But
what a blessing it is to be here in Mexico testifying of why we really have
Christmas!!! Because a lot of families
were busy and not home on Christmas we got the wonderful opportunity of going
back to our house and DEEP CLEANING!!!! Merry
Christmas ;) haha It was fun and we
rocked out to the church Christmas music - we had a lot of fun :)
I did
indeed get the packages - ALL of them, and wow, I really don´t know what to
say! I honestly couldn´t help but bawl
when the Mission President unloaded 4 huge packages from his car when he came
to visit! haha THANK YOU TIMES A MILLION AND A HALF!!!!!! We loved all of the little surprises and you
had better believe that we have made a huge dent in the food already! We are really excited to make the cheesecake
for new years!!!! Really, thank you so
much. And the boots are incredible and
so warm and comfortable! Thank you thank
you thank you! Tell Susan & Ken THANK
YOU SO MUCH and grandma too
please!!!
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hna Jacobo and I sang happy birthday for you -
I hope you know! What did you do?? Did you eat some good cake and ice
cream??
The
weather is getting colder, ha-ha, but we are getting smarter and figuring out
how to keep our house warmer in the night and by warming up our pajamas with
the little heater while we are planning! haha It
is crazy how cold it is... so much for buying clothes for 100 degree weather ;)
hahaha It is great, and the clothes and
hat and everything you sent have helped so much!
This
week was an interesting week with the holidays and everything! But it was a great one! We worked really hard to find new
investigators this week because we know how powerful the spirit of this season
is, and we really were blessed! That is
really cool that you got to talk to a Hermana in my ward; she is so sweet and
her husband is the mission leader in our ward, so we have gotten to know her
really well! Hna Jacobo and I also got
to speak in our ward on Sunday (yes mom in Spanish). I think
it went really well; everyone in the ward said that my Spanish was good, and
that they could understand me... so I would say it was a SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
I have
a couple questions!
How´s
the BE b-ball team doing??
What
do you have planned for new years??
How
does Derek like sleeping in his bed again??
I love
you forever, and am always praying for you! I have the best support system back home, and I
am so so so grateful!! Never doubt the
power of the Lord to help you in EVERYTHING!!!!!! I know He lives and loves you!
Hermana
Sutton
p.s. It was AMAZING to talk to you!!! I
can´t believe how big MY Beckham is
- make him stop please!!!! Keep smiling
;) I love you with all my heart!
