Yes, Merry Christmas to me. I finally got 2 Christmas packages this week. I am now listening to the Christmas CD that was in there, hung up my stocking, and am drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows. I love the Christmas spirit :) And its starting to get cold, so its feeling more real than it did in December.
The surprisingly really successful thing we did this week was start teaching English classes in the church, now that I have an American comp. It was a hit! We even had an investigator, and the members are excited to come again, and are spreading the word. This could be a great thing to help unite this ward, and find new investigators! Not to mention its pretty entertaining... :) nacho libre/ chinese accents all over the place.
Another thing we are starting to do to try to help out the wards unity and testimonies is to start a Book of Mormon challenge. To start this week, and finish by the end of the year. Thats only about 18 pages every week. Not bad at all! Those old, young, wise, smart, readers and kind of can read people can all do it. I know that if they really do read it and let it change them, it can make a huge difference. The Book of Mormon has SO much power, and I have learned to love it so much here.
As for investigators, we are in the process of dropping our many investigators that we do have, and finding those chosen prepared ones. Juan Carlos is on date for this week, pray that it all works out!! And Sunilda, my little Argentina abuelita has a date for the 24th. Shes adorable. Her doubt for getting baptized was that she would be cold after because shes so old, and how they would dunk her. And she didnt want to come to church because she has to go to the bathroom a lot.. Haha shes adorable. But one thing ive learned with her, is that no matter how old or frail or who knows what, the person, EVERYONE needs the gospel, and to make that special covanent with God.
Well, I love the gospel, my Savior, the mission, all of you guys, and Christmas time :) Have a fantastic week!!!
