Buenas!
Merry Christmas almost! I love you all and am always praying
for you guys. This week was filled with the ups and downs. The beginning of the
week was really hard as nobody wanted to listen to us and we weren't
successful. I was trying to figure out why, and I have come to know how much
humility we need to have. I have also seen how much I need Heavenly Father and Jesus
Christ in my life. This week has been really humbling. I am constantly learning
so much here.
Puerto Rico always has a new surprise for me everyday. They
are crazy about Christmas here. The other night we were walking home and all of
the sudden a bunch of cops showed up and started controlling traffic. Then a few
school busses and ambulances were coming down the street with lights and
sirens. We thought there was an
accident, but then we realized that it was Santa on top of a truck throwing
candy! it was hilarious.
Ponce, Puerto Rico is crazy. When we were on the way to an
appointment and my companion stopped and said “Lets contact here for 20 min”. The second house we went to we met with a
family and we are going to visit them this Saturday. They are so awesome and
committed to read the Book of Mormon. Yesterday
we were contacting and the first people we met with was another family. We are so grateful for the miracles that God
has given us these last few days. This family is awesome and they have been
searching for a true church. They are
coming to church this next Sunday and we are so happy that they can learn truth
and feel happiness peace and joy in this life.
I have been able to bear my testimony a lot this week. Especially
in this time of year I have been able to ponder so much on my Savior and my
testimony of Him grows daily. I am forever grateful for Him, His life and for
His sacrifice for us. I love Him so much. I am so grateful for this gospel. I
testify that God lives and knows us all by our name and by our personal
circumstances. Jesus is the Christ the very son of God. I feel His presence everyday
here in the mission. Life is hard at times, but we can always take faith in knowing
that someone has been where we are, Our brother Jesus Christ. Look to Him,
trust Him, follow Him, and be like Him.
If you things you will be happier than you have ever been in your life! I
love you all so much!
