Megan's Marvelous Mission

Cinnamon Roll Christmas :-D

ESPERO QUE TUVIERON UNA FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y COMIERON MUCHA MUCHA COMIDA PARA MI!!!!!!!!!

How is everything going in the good old Brigham City?? It looks like from the pictures you enjoyed yourselves! For us here in Juarez it was AWESOME!!!! It was quite the strange few days but it all turned out great and well the best thing is that we didn’t forget what our moms had taught us... and we made CINNAMON ROLLS!!!!!!!!! So let me start from the 24^th , because that is pretty much Christmas here for everyone! So we went to the family Bencomos house and Hermana Bunderson talked to her family and so did the other missionaries!! It was fun to see all of their families!! Then we helped the Bencomos make lunch and we all ate together! T HIS FAMILY IS AMAZING!! I know that I have said that about a million and a half times but really it was so fun to be with them and to feel in home! We ate ham and lots of good food and banana cookies for dessert!!! YUMMY!!!! We then went back to our house at 5 and we had the rest of the night to clean and to relax!!! So we came home and made a chocolate cake for our neighbor, cinnamon rolls, and watched “The Legacy” about 5 times! Hahaha And I got caught up on my journal and we just hung out!! IT WAS FUN!! :)

Then we went to bed and on Christmas morning the sisters came to our house early and we ate together and opened a few little presents!! And off we went to a meeting with the President ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS LIKE A SPIRITUAL OVERLOAD!!!!!!!!!!! It was just a meeting with the hermanas (cuz the president likes us the best!) and we talked about, pretty much everything you could talk about! All the general authorities the president knows... Sister Derbez and his story.... the mission and his advice.... how to prepare to be good moms.... ;) and well just about EVERYTHING!!! There also was an hermana there who cut everyones hair! All 40 hermanas here in Juarez!!!! It was really awesome and we had a lot of fun!

Then on the 26^th ... well I think my comp partied too hard cuz she was sick all day!!! Soooooo once again we were inside! Cleaning and watching “The Legacy” about 50 more times!!! But she is feeling better, and you had better believe that on Saturday I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO ready to work!!! (3 whole days inside, I thought I was going to have a panic attack!) hahahahaha but the weekend was great too!!! We sang again at Misiones (mall in Juarez) on Saturday and then again on Sunday!! And we had even more people than last week!!! It was super fun and well... what do I say!????? I AM JUST A HAPPY MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Well also I just wanted to tell you guys thank you so much for the 12 days of Christmas you sent and also the little package with the quote book!!!! IT IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!! It really just put the cherry on the Christmas!!! (by the way I like cherries now...) hahaha

…1… How was your Christmas and what did you do?
See above ;)

…2… Are you allowed to venture out on New Year’s eve/day?
HMMMMMMMMM - we aren’t doing anything too different I dont think! We are just going to leave a little bit later on the 1^st so we dont have to deal with all the drunks....

…3… How are your investigators doing?
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! We had an amazing experience yesterday at church! A family that we are teaching came and in gospel principles they LOVED IT!!!!!! We talked about baptism and WOW I have never felt the spirit so strong in a gospel principles class!!! The brother asked how long he had to wait to be baptized.... SO WE ARE STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE REALLY PREPARED FROM THE LORD!

…4… Can you get amazing breads in Juarez like we did in Puerto Vallarta?
Hmmmmmm - YES indeed - they do make some pretty great breads here!! It is such a temptation every time we go to the grocery store!! BUT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO ENJOY LIFE RIGHT!!!!!!!!! ;)

…5… Do you need anything from us? (money, prayers, etc.)
NAH!!! I am doing great!!! :) Prayers are always welcomed and well I am actually enjoying being a poor missionary!!!! ;) But I am doing great!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful NEW YEAR!!!!!! (Can you believe that it is already gone????) Thank you so much for everything you have and are doing for me! This literally is the biggest blessing in my life, to be able to serve my Father in Heaven 24/7!!! I am loving it! And I am working harder and harder every single day!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! AND HAPPY 2015!!!!!

12 Days of Christmas

Feliz Navidad 2014

December 22, 2014

HMMMMMM I am in a pickle..... Since we talked yesterday I don’t know what I should tell you!! So let me just ramble and we can see what I come up with! hahahaha SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... We are doing great!! We are so excited for Christmas and we feel so blessed to be serving the Lord right now! We had a Christmas lunch with all of the missionaries in the entire mission which was really fun!!! THE BEST PART WAS THE TIES AND THE SCARVES!!!!!!! A huge shout out to everyone who helped put everything together!!!! :) You should have seen the faces of all the missionaries!!!!! THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! You made this Christmas one we can never forget!!!! :):):):):):):):):):):)

This week we really did see a lot of miracles; the phrase of the week... “WHAT A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE” ;) hahahaha But like I told you yesterday we found an amazing family who we really have high hopes for! The Hermana went to the concert (with our stake president) and LOVED it, and well we have her won over I think ;) The Hermano is awesome too, his nickname is “Wolf”, and he is a Bromista... (a joker) and he is really receptive!! It is awesome that our stake president is there for them. There is a huge difference when the members help, and we feel super excited to continue helping them to come unto Christ.

Also this weekend we sang at Misiones (the big mall here in Juarez) and everything went really well; we got a lot of references and we hope we are sharing the Christmas spirit the way the Lord wants it to be done! Especially during this time of the year I am so grateful to have learned how to play the piano and how to sing. I know the Lord blesses us with our talents to be able to help His children.

HMMMMM WHAT ELSE!!!! One of the things that we are doing for Christmas is... okay let me explain!!! So almost every day we take the same route to get to our area (cuz we technically don’t live in our area) so we pass by the same people every day, like the people that sell hamburgers or the crazy lady who yells at us for crossing the street, or the awesome taco guy, just a few of our favorites! SO what we did this year is that we wrapped up Books of Mormon and wrote in them our testimonies and put stuff about HE IS THE GIFT, and tomorrow we are going to take them around and give them their Christmas present!!! There really is power in the Book of Mormon! We are excited to see how it works in their lives! ;)

I loved the pictures you sent of the boys in their pajamas!!! THEY LOOK SUPER!!!!!!!!!! ;) I explained the other day to the president about our tradition with the pizza and candle light on our china.... He thought we were a strange family! SO I THINK HE GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!! ;) I hope that this year is a great one, make sure you enjoy it and eat a lot of good food for this missionary!!! My present was definitely talking to you all yesterday! You are just as crazy as I remember!!! I cannot believe that Beckham recognized me!!! ;) What a cutie!!!

I love you all so much!! And I hope you remember just how blessed we are to have the truth in our lives. I really just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that Our Father loved us so much that He sent his only begotten Son. And not only that but that Christ was willing and suffered everything for us. I love them both, and well I love this season. I really do think that the world is more open to learning how they can grow close to Christ now!!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD, PROSPERO ANO Y FELICIDAD!!!!!!!!!!! :)
