We are SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS... and still really spoiled haha
December 7, 2015
Well, it is that time of year, the snow is
falling, it’s cold outside.... oh wait. Haha we have sweated to death this
week, the heat is picking up. But, it’s been awesome.
This week my flip flops
broke.... they almost lasted me the whole way.
We had 2 DOGS come to
church haha..... Nelly has these dogs that follow us everywhere, they came to
sacrament with us though which was a little too far. It must have looked pretty
funny though, me playing the piano with two dogs barking on my lap. We shooed
them out for sacrament.... but they stayed and waited outside for the whole 3
hours.... better than investigators haha..
Also, I went on an
intercambio to the Beverly Hills of Chiclayo which was fun. We were teaching a
lesson though and a MASSIVE bull dog runs out of this room and jumps on me and
starts slobbering my arm. I kind of just closed my eyes and froze while her
husband pulled it off me. It scared the sister I was with pretty bad though,
but had me laughing the whole night haha.
During this time of Christmas
we get to hand out contact cards for the new Christmas movie which is super
fun, and if they are rich enough we watch it on their phones with them. I LOVE
CHRISTMAS. Also we have our mission Christmas party this week which should be
super fun and the next week are singing in the plaza de armas.... it doesn’t
get better!
The coolest thing that
happened this week, we had a pretty busy day, got home pretty tired, were ready
to plan but I felt like we should go see Karina and Ivan, see how they were
doing. So we walk out, climb the hill and ask "is everything okay?"
He said no and we went in and Karina was super sick and in a ton of pain in her
stomach. We called a member to come give her a blessing and he shows up with a
whole bottle of olive oil and could give her a blessing. It was a really cool
experience of following the spirit, we got to bed a little late, but it was
cool to feel once again how much Heavenly Father loves his children. They didn’t
come to church because she was still sick, but they are amazing. I love them SO
MUCH.
Besides that it was a
pretty normal week. We got to help the relief society out and help them
practice feliz navidad in English. I love this ward so much. It has literally
changed from night to day! Miracles happen.
Also we have been preparing
some gift packages, and it is amazing the spirit of Christmas that comes. Just
serving. Pretty sure being a missionary is THE BEST WAY to celebrate Christmas,
you can give ALL DAY LONG.
Hope you all are doing
well, thanks for all of your support and prayers. Love you lots!
Growing a tree!! My mom is the coolest haha...
