Feliz Navidad!! Its christmas time already?? Its the BEST time of the year!! We have had the opportunity to share the video He is the Gift, its on christmas.mormon.org, to so many people and to see their reactions to it has been amazing. It rained this week quite a bit. We got soaked but people were more willing to let us in. We have this awesome couple we are working with Juan and Elizabeth, all their kids are members, except them. We have them on date for the 21 so we are so excited! Its been really cool to teach Elizabeth cause she has arthritis so its kinda cool to be able to relate to her a little. They are amazing, they read their scriptures every single night together. What an example they are! We went and visited a potential sunday after church and he told us he couldn't believe how perfect the timing was when we showed up. His name is Julio, and he said he has made so many bad decisions in his life but he wants to change that and get everything worked out with his wife. He was our miracle this week. So this week Hermana Lindsey taught me how to crochet, i didn't really want to learn but i told her i would do it. Its the funnest thing ever. Every time we get the chance we crochet haha so this saturday we went to get our car fixed and we were in there for 4 hours, so i'm just crocheting away. The other people that were sitting by us thought it was super cool too( it gave us something to talk about) And of course we end up talking about the gospel. We ended up meeting a LA, he had fallen away from the church. He said he felt like people judged him all the time when he made mistakes. That made me so sad, we need to be examples of christ wherever we go and not judge anyone. But we were able to help him realize that whatever God thinks is really what matters. We were also able to correct a couple of peoples false doctrines about the church. It was such a fun experience! This weekend, our take put on this awesome program. Members brought over 1000 different nativity sets and they set them all up in the stake center and had choirs come sing while you were looking at all of them. It was something so special, to help people remember truly what the meaning of christmas is. I LOVED the christmas devotional. It was amazing right? I loved when Richard J. Maynes said that in order to understand the true meaning of christmas, we must live the attributes of the family of christ. I know thats true! If we continue to be humble, trusting in the Lord, serving others, we will come to understand the blessing that God gave us of sending his Son Jesus Christ. I know that Christ comprehends all things. I know that its through our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that we can do all things. I love this gospel more than anything. I am the luckiest girl to be able to serve in this perfect mission, hand in hand with my Savior Jesus Christ. I hope you all enjoy your week and never forget to find those little ways to serve:) Love you!!
