                                                    Before the ward Christmas party.....

                                                                  THE PARTAY!

HOLA MI FAMILIA. FELIZ NAVIDAD YALL.

ENJOY THE SNOW. JUST SAYIN.

Alrighty so I only have a little time to email... cause we dont have PDAY today since were getting tomorrow off! Were going up to San Pedro and the whole mission is gonna have this devotional and social. :) I GET TO SEE HERMANA HEMI! 

Second.. about the SKYPE! DAD! Ill email you! I dont know when... but Im hoping for 4 my time..? THE 25!! I think you guys are 4 hours behind... so be ready... mas o menos! WHO KNOWS MAN. HAHA Lima out of all of Buenos Aires North is the hardest to find a place to skype... cause there are NO MEMBERS with computers here.. and the internet is slow. SO IM PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE THAT ILL FIND SOMEONE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. Hahaha you dont know how many times Ive stressed about this. HAHA. ESTA TODO BIEN. BE WAITING MY LOVELIES.

Some of this week has been hard.  My companions grandpa died.. and shes still not feeling better. SHES MAD AT EVERYTHING. HAHA bless her heart. Honestly it doesnt bug me.. .

 I had the wonderful opportunity to give a talk this Sunday.  I talked about the song Be born in me  and challenged everyone to find a time this week in their mind with just Jesus and ask him to be born in each one of them. I truly felt inspried to say that.. because I did for myself... and it changed mi vida. And Lucas 2:7 how there was no room in the inn for the Savior and how I hoped that we can always have room in our hearts for the Savior.

And then I talked about how the best gift we can offer to our Savior is our sins, weaknesses and PAINS. Ive never preached so hard in my life.  Because I know when you offer that pain to Jesus, HE GIVES YOU MORE STRENGTH AND HAPPINESS THAT YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU COULD HAVE. FAMILY, I feel stronger than ever. 

This christmas... find some time to sing unto Jesus and praise him with all your heart. And LISTEN TO MOMS SONG, BE BORN IN ME. And ask him that question. It will change your life.

Because of the love that Ive felt this week.. I feel more love towards my companion and Im trying to do what the Savior would do.. and that is to love her, love her, love her. I know tomorrow and wednesday is gonna be amazing if we just think about whats most important. And thats the love of the Savior and sharing it with others. Its an honor to feel the love the Savior has for me and other people. I cant even describe the feeling. Jesus heals all. 

LAST OF ALL... the fiesta was BRILLIANT.  GREAT DECORATIONS (ALL BOUGHT BY ME.:)) AND GREAT PEOPLE. AND BEST VIDEO ABOUT THE BIRTH OF THE SAVIOR. . God works through everyone. And hes working through Jorge(2ND COUNSELOR) and us to build the church back up again. MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERY DAY!!!!

SO yesterday I was planning on giving some pesos to the familia Lamas. Theyre a family on our ward who is strong in the church and comes to EVERYTHING! They feed the 4 of us missionaries every Sunday and they have nothing.  But they were in the capital yesterday so I was super bummed.. cause I wanted to get the money to them before Navidad. (IN SECRET OF COURSE)

Anyways... yesterday we were walking and I had this money in my purse for the Lamas. WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN I looked up and saw this family.. even poorer than the Lamas. Theyre just a random family.. but me and HQ see them every day. TONS of little kids all dirty with no clothes. The thought came to my mind that I needed to give this money to that family. SO we passed by again.. and I slid the envelope under their door. WOW. I cant even tell you how good that felt. 

ANYWAYS... MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS... BAM..... AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. SEE YALL ON MIERCOLES.
