It´s starting to feel a little more like Christmas. With two Christmas packages this week, a little Christmas shopping, our tiny Christmas tree we finally put together, and a couple degrees cooler outside, I´m starting to get super excited for my Christmas in Mexico. Speaking of which, have you seen the new Christmas campain from the church? #AMAZING I loved hearing those kids bear testimony of our Savior. And the videos made me think a little more this week, what would my life be like if Christ hadn´t been born? I´m infinately grateful for the knowledge I have that I have a Savior that lives and loves me. If you haven´t seen the videos, you should definitely go watch them right now. And don´t be afraid to share them and Facebook or in other ways to help others remember the real meaning of Christmas too!
Well this week we were finally able to start teaching the daughter of our recent convert, Laura! Her daughter, Monica, came to the baptism a couple weeks ago, felt the Spirit and told us she was ready to see what we had to say. We taught about Joseph Smith, The Book of Mormon, and all the blessings of the Gospel. She accepted everything and asked us when she could be baptized. She then asked us if she could fast this Fast Sunday! Haha the bishop was a little surprised when he received a fast offering from our investigator. Unfortunately, I´m 99% sure I´ll be leaving Salvatierra this week to be transfered to another area..which means I won´t be here for Monica´s baptism. But it´s okay. We all have a different part in the conversion process, and while I might not be able to see the fruits of Moni´s conversion, I was able to help plant the seed and see it start to grow. This work is marvelous.
Well today was fun! We went to Ballesteros as a district, hiked a little bit and tried to fish our lunch. Let me tell ya, the fishing wasn´t very successful, but we had a good time and took some cool pictures. We ended up buying some steak and enjoying that for lunch instead. I guess it´s a good thing we´re called to be fishers of men and not fishers of fish cause between the 8 of us, we were only able to catch a 3 inch long fish. Haha. I love Mexico with my whole heart. While I´m sad I can´t be enjoying snow and the temple square light this year, I´ve got all I need to be perfetctly happy. There´s nothing quite like spending Christmas serving others and sharing this wonderful message that The Savior is born, He lives and He loves every single one of us.
Go out and spread some Christmas Cheer.
¡Les amo!
