Navidad!

Well as you can guess a lot has happened these past weeks. the 23rd we had our christmas pday and i got to go to the temple. Which was my absolute favorite part! my first time in spanish and surprisingly i understood everything. Que bueno!! i recieved my packages from my madre y padre y tambien de mis abuelos and from Aunt Emily and Uncle Mike. Thank you for the flashdrives and sunscreen boy i sure need that! haha emily the toothbrush came just in time because my other one melted... thats a story to be told. its really hot here obviously. Oh goodness thank you for the beef jerky!! YUM. Grandma I love the eyeshadow and the pictures. just thank you for all the love! Kenzie, Braden, Ellie, Ian, and Trey! Thank you for the sweet drawings they´re amazing. I love them.

so for christmas eve Nochebuena we got permission to have a dinner with the other hermanas in our area. we made tacos and my comp made cheesecake. i love her. Sadly my comp had a fever this day. while we were eating the lights went out for about 20min so that was fun. and my poor comp threw up. It was a wonderful christmas eve! haha it was. 

 

the day of Christmas. el dia de navidad! we worked hard and goodness it was so hot. im sure in the 90´s and with humidity it feels like 110! we had lunch with a member and then in the afternoon i got the chance to skype my family! the 40mins went by really fast and it was funny because i had a hard time speaking english. obviously christmas wasnt the same. but i learned that christmas is about giving and loosing myself in the work of the Lord. My gift i recieved is the gozo the joy of this work este obra. Rocio got baptized the 28th shes 11 years old and her sister, Lucia, wants to get baptized in Enero. We´re hoping that her mom will get baptized soon. She´s not married and she wants to be baptized. the problem is that Martin her boyfriend doesnt want to get married. We´re praying that he´ll opened his heart. They´ll been living together for 11 years so i dont understand.

 

The transfer ends jan the 18th so we´ll see what happens. i dont have a lot of time in this area. oh so you know how my comp is a sister training leader so i get the joy of having divisions every week. I got the chance to work with 2 other sisters in bragado with bikes!! so that was fun for me. and it was my first time working as a trio. 

 

Well i hope you all enjoyed your christmas!! and i wish you all a happy new year wow time flies. the 31st of this month i have 5 months in mission. i hope you all do something for jesucristo este nuevo ano. te amo mucho!!! I miss you all and missing the cold weather.

 

con mucho amor,
