Hi family!!! Pues Feliz Navidad!!! (: Yay!! Que rapido paso el tiempo!
I am very excited to talk to you guys this week! I hope everything is going well there. We have had a slow week but we have actually found a few new investigators the past few days who are pretty positive. This week has been REALLY HOT! Like really hot so that has been different. Probably the only Hot christmas I will have in my life.
Well we have been visiting lots of members this week and less active members. Thsi week we were looking for a Less active family that the mom was baptized about 4 months ago so my companion and I dont know here but she is a recent convert. So we have been trying to call her and her family but they never are home or don't answer so we decided one day to just go to her house and see if they were home. We had no idea where she lived so we started looking and asking some people and finally we found there house! We walked up and they were just getting home from the store so they were outside taking things in the house. We asked them if they were the family and they said yes. The hermana was a little not very happy at first.But they invited us in.. So we talked about the atonment a little bit and how it works in our lives and set up another time to come back and visit them. So we put another time and everyone in the ward was saying they wont be there they are going to cancel but they were there (: So we visited them again and they all told us they want to come back to church! So we were really excited about that! The greatest thing is that Heavenly Father just knows his children so perfectly. He knew exactly when we needed to go to their house and what we needed to say to help this family come back to church. I love being a missionary so much!
Also this week we had our christmas activity! We went to the temple it was so great to go and do a session! The temple here is so beautiful! Then we went to a church and had lunch that was SO good! Mashed potatoes and some kind of meet with salad and brownies (: we were in heaven! Then we had a little devotional and listened to President wilkinson talk about christmas. He is awesome I really just love that guy! They also made a really REALLY exciting anouncment that......... THEY ARE OPENING A NEW MISSION IN COSTA RICA!!!! (: yay!!!!! In june they will have a Mision West and mission East. We are all so stinking excited! He told us that the Apostles were in a meeting where they said they wanted to make 10 new missions this year. Elder Cook said if we could only make one new mission it would be in Costa Rica. Those people are ready for the Gospel. (: We were all so excited!!! And then we got some christmas presents from the Wilkinsons and your chocolates mom (: they were a hit! They told me to tell you thanks so much that was so nice of you!
Well family I hope you are all doing well I love talking to you and hearing about your lives! Your kids are all getting so big! I can't wait to talk to them. Tell them they have to talk to me though they can't be shy (: haha well i love you all so much! Hope you all have a merry christmas!
