HOLA HOLA
HOLA! Can you believe that it is almost
already Christmas??? AHHH Where has the time gone? I really can´t believe that it has already
been 2 months since I left little old Brigham City! If my mission goes this fast... I may just
stay here for 3 years?? Is that okay
with you fam? hahaha
We had a
really great and difficult and blessed week here in Casas! We worked so hard to work with the barrio
(ward) this week to try and strengthen their testimonies so that they will have
the desire to share it in their lives. On
Monday night we had a Noche de Hogar (family home evening) with the ward and we
watched “Joseph Smith: A Prophet of the Restoration”.
It turned out to be an incredible night
and everyone who attended shared their testimonies after, and I really feel
like that sparked something in the ward because the rest of the week they were
really helpful and excited about the work! It truly is the work of salvation for all. So don´t think you get off easy because you
aren´t on a full time mission. EVERYONE
NEEDS TO SHARE!! (and I know I say this every week... but it really is so
important.) hahaha :)
We also had a
devotional Christmas yesterday for everyone in Casas Grandes and the Colonies. All of the missionaries sang in a choir that
we have been practicing for about 2 weeks now. IT WAS
INCREDIBLE!!! We sang pretty much
all the Christmas hymns and also performed some numbers in small groups. I actually got to sing “Oh Holy Night” as a solo too!! :) I absolutely love music, and coming on a
mission has just made me love it so much more. The spirit really does talk through the music
of the soul. There actually is a Sister
who lives in Dublan who is the stake president’s wife and she has a facebook
page for a lot of the missionaries’ moms and family... I think it is called “Chihuahua Moms” or
something like that. You´ll have to
search for it and asked to be added to the group. She is going to put some videos from last
night up on the page!
1. Did you get any
packages yet? I
didn´t get any packages yet, but I told the zone leaders yesterday to keep an
eye open for it because you sent some! It might take a little longer because I am so
far away from the mission home. But no
worries; I will get it!! and THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! You, family, are really such a blessing. XOXOXO
2. What good foods have
you eaten?
Oh
my goodness where do I start?? The food
here is to die for! Everyday I think, "Today is going to be the day that I
am going to eat something that is gross..." But nope, the day hasn´t come yet! So to answer your question... EVERYTHING IS
GOOD! ;) We eat tamales a lot, and
salsa!!! And chicken and meat cooked so well,
and a lot of rice and beans. Mmmmhmmmm just really good Mexican comida!
3. How is your Spanish
going?
My
Spanish is going pretty well. I mean it
is so hard to be somewhere where everyone speaks perfect Spanish and I am just
thrown into the middle of it, but I love the language! Everyday my Spanish is getting better and better.
The gift of tongues is honestly so
real!
4. Do you still Love
your sweet parents? TE AMO MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO!!!!! Honestly there isn´t a day that goes by that I
don´t think I have the best parents and family in the whole world. Every night I thank our Father in Heaven for
you. I wish I could explain how
incredibly much I love you. Thank you
for being such great examples!!
Hahahaha - you
probably thought I forgot about Skype....
haha :) We are going to Skype tomorrow
around 6:45 or 7! We finally
found a family that has a camera and internet! It should all be good and work perfectly. Thank you for setting up my account and
sending the password and everything. I
forgot how Skype works but do you have to add me as a friend or something
first? Who knows, but I’m sure it will
go smoothly tomorrow! ARE YOU EXCITED TO
TALK TO ME?????? ;) I miss you so much
and can´t wait to see your beautiful smiling faces... Don´t make fun of me if I cry when I see you
though; I haven´t changed too much - I still cry like a little baby! Hahahahahahaha
But I hope
you have a great week and enjoy Christmas! Remember to pray and remember why we are
really here on the earth! You are a
child of the most powerful and perfect being in the UNIVERSE!!!!!!!
I love you
for eternity!!!
