Merry Christmas

December 22, 2014

Hey Everyone,

I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Here it has been pretty interesting. We are currently trying to move houses, so everything is kind of crazy. All our stuff is packed and ready to go, but we just got a call saying that maybe we will have to wait a few days. Maybe. Haha. We'll see how it goes.

My new companion, Elder Flores, and I had an insane week. We pretty much just contacted, and I can count the amount of times people rejected us on one hand! It was a amazing. We found 15 new people to teach. It was a great week.

I am starting to really be able to teach. We did special visits yesterday, and I went with a priest to visit the people who didn't go to church, and I totally lead the lesson. It was a pretty cool experience.

We also played soccer this week again, and I was once again the star. I hope you all are following my progress, because one day I'm going to be the best soccer player the world has ever seen ;)

I encourage you all to look up "He is the Gift" on YouTube (El es la Dadiva in Spanish). It's a great video that really brings the Spirit. I love the Savior. He isn't just there to take away your sins, but to help take away pains and heartaches (and even homesickness) caused by everyday life. He is the gift that never expires and never runs out. Use it often.

I love you all and wish many happiness upon you and your families this Holiday Season.
