Hola Familia
Well I don´t have too much time to write today because we were having too much fun. We went bowling and ice skating today as a district. And then afterwards we went to a members home and they made us all sopes. They were so good. But needless to say I don´t have too much time. (And the comma button is not working)
But to answer you question Mom Sí if you could send our christmas card and others people too that would be awesome. Christmas cards are always fun to get and to hear what everyone is up to. Dad I took out 600 pesos today for the 50 dollars that you said that Grandma and Grandpa sent me.
It was fun talking to you all on Christmas. It sounds like everyone is doing really well and that you all had a fun time being together. I think Ryan won with the best looking beard. I hope that mine will be able to grow like that once I get back from the mission. Could you also send me a copy of those pictures and whatever other new pictures you would like. That´d be great.
So since Saturday things have been ok. On Saturday we went by all of our investigators to confirm that they were going to come to church and everyone had said sí. But on Sunday when we passed by or members passed by nobody was home. It was frustrating. But we did have one investigator come to Sacrament Mtg. He is the dad of two of our miembras. And we also had a less active family come to church. That was really exciting because they don´t have the money to come to church. So it really made me happy to see them because I know what a sacrifice it was.
There have just been a lot of tender mercies of the Lord in the pst week. Christmas was great and it is just great being a missionary. At times it is so hard. But then there are also times when it really is the most rewarding experience. It´s like a big lesson for life. Lately I have found a lot of stregnth in the scripture Joshua 1:9. I have a little postcard of that scripture that is up in our casa. Be strong and of good courage. THe Lord thy God is with you. It is so true. THere is no reaso to get discouraged in life. That is the objective of Satan. When we are down it is so much easier for him to get us. We always need to find the good in everything. I like the talk on Gratitude by President Monson. We all need to be greatful and not let the world or our situations get us down. A smile is the best cure for that. And a friend always helps too.
Thanks so much for all that you do. I love yáll and I am glad that everyone is doing great. Enjoy the winter and snow. Let me know when you send that package so I can know that I need to look for it. Have a Happy New Year!!! Tell the Catchatoorians hi for me and give them my love. I love you guys!!
