HAHAHA I can just imagine Anna and Andrew with the deer! That is
awesome! I love the Bricker Christmas party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love how
Vicki always has the goodie bags afterwards stuffed with cool/yummy
things :) It looks pretty cold there!!!!! That is cool that Rogelio
and Steve's girlfriend came too. I wish I could've met Rogelio!!!! Is
anyone new scheduled to come in? Yay for decorating! We decorated
too! I should have taken pictures.
Okay so this week I got some exciting news. I'M
TRAINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!! That is
what I wanted was to train this last transfer so I could just pass down
everything I've learned. Tomorrow we have transfers and I get to go
pick her up :) I'm also excited to stay here in Mission. I'm sad to
say goodbye to Sister Cortes, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED working with her...but
it's not too bad because I'll see her every Monday.
Other exciting news! Claudia got BAPTIZED yesterday!
The Lord has really been blessing us to find the prepared people. I
have loved working with Claudia because she has just guided her own
conversion with the spirit. We asked her when she thought that God
wanted her to be baptized... she told us "before the end of the year"
and picked a date and prayed about it. She also told us of when she
gained her testimony - she was pondering on everything that we had
taught her, she read the 13 Articles of Faith and she said it just hit
her "I believe in all these things. It makes sense. I know it is
true." She was so smiley and a lot of her family were there to support
her. Obispo Torres baptized her.
MORE exciting news! Javier said he wants to get baptized the 18th
(aka this weekend!) Orale! Andale! The field is white already to
harvest!
I know that the Lord's hand is in this work. He loves us soooooooooo much.
Thanks
for the alpaca scarf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds like it will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been pretty cold lately.
Sister Cortes and I have been walking a lot because we don't have
miles... so we walked from our appointment to the church and she was
FREEZING - especially her hands because she doesn't have gloves.
I'm trying to come up with something I can send you all for
Christmas... but it will probably be something made with love haha
because I don't have money...it will be one of these gifts this year:
"We all enjoy giving and receiving presents. But there is a
difference between presents and gifts. The true gifts may be part of
ourselves--giving of the riches of the heart and mind--and therefore
more enduring and of far greater worth than presents bought at the
store."Of course, among the greatest of gifts is the gift of
love..."Some, like Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens's A Christmas Carol,
have a hard time loving anyone, even themselves, because of their
selfishness. Love seeks to give rather than to get. Charity towards and
compassion for others is a way to overcome too much self-love" (James
E. Faust, "A Christmas With No Presents," Ensign, Dec 2001, 2-6).
LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR ME!
