Family,
Wow!!! What a week! It sounds like the
whole world is pretty busy during this time of year. And that goes the
same for us here in Chihuahua! Sometimes it stresses me out....but then
comes Christmas day, and everything is so calm and perfect. That is the
spirit of Christmas.....if we feel peaceful and calm and loved.....it's because
we're feeling the true spirit of Christmas. Christ is the definition of
Christmas, and He is love, and tranquility, and peace.
But yeah....so this last week was good here in
the mission. Pretty much this whole week we were preparing for the
Christmas party that took place yesterday! We also saw a miracle this
last week when President was waiting on his Mission card for like two weeks,
which had the rest of the money that we needed to finish buying what we needed
for the Christmas party, and it arrived literally the last day that we were
allowed to use money as a mission. So that day I called Utah and everything to
figure out when it was going to come, and literally right after that it
arrived. Then President came running over and we went to go finish buying
everything. And then me and Elder Reynolds were the first ones to get smart
phones in the mission. Supposedly this next year slowly but surely the
missions in Mexico are going to be changing to smart phones. In the US and
Europe and areas like that everyone has smart phones....so we're slowly
changing.
So the Christmas party went great! The
only thing was that it was kinda weird being secretary, because I had to make
sure everything went smoothly. I didn't get to eat much either, because I
had to make sure that the missionaries had enough food first. I did get a
little bit of Turkey though so that's all that counts!!! I was pretty
much running around the whole time, but it was cool. I feel that I was really
living the true meaning of Christmas as I was serving others. I don't think it
was the same at the beginning of my service as a secretary, but now I like
serving other people...helping them out and making sure everything is good for
them! Service has become something that I like! Now that I'm
probably getting close to leaving the offices, I realize that I have learned a
lot of things. Maybe in different ways, but it's been a great experience!
And it shall continue for the rest of my life, because this life is the time
for us to prepare to return to live with God.
But yeah! So I'm also super excited to talk
with you all on Christmas day. For now the hour will be at 11:00
am. I am not 100% that it will stay 11:00, but unless I tell you
otherwise, it will be at 11! Hope you all enjoy the package I sent as
well!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only through Christ is salvation possible. Always remember
that! Especially during this time of Christmas! Get to know
Christ....and then Always follow His gospel!
I love Him....and I hope one day I can say that He is my best
friend!
Have a great week!
See you on Christmas!
Love you all!!!
