Feliz Navidad

Whattup everybodyyyyyyyy

Soooo sorry that i've been flakey with the email this past week, every pday is Just so exciting that i never have any time to Write an email, but we'll see if i can figure out something to say haha.

Well i think the most important thing is that we have 2 baptismal dates put in!! One, his name is Abel and I can't really tell with him yet, he kind of Just says yes to everything so it was kinda easy to put in the date haha, but i also don't know how much he's actually learned from us also, we taught him literally like everything we can and he Just goes along with it, so we'll see. He is a ranchero and is always talking about his ranch and his cows and horses, its kinda funny, he's obsessed with his work haha, when we asked him to be baptized the first thing he said was "you can baptize me in my rancho!" He's so funny, you Just gotta meet him to understand lol.

Then we have Claudine, we put her on date for the 28th, she's pretty secure in her desires so she's the best, she asked to get baptized before we even gave her the invite, she reads the Book of Mormon all the time and loves having us over.

All I know is it would be very exciting to baptize someone straight out of training to break the cerro azul Dry streak of baptisims hahah, so pray for us and our friends por favor!!

Christmas is the best, except it's making me miss hot showers. Don't you Just love the feelin when you wake up in the morning, it's cloudy and chilly after the Rain at night, and you get on all your warm clothes and your blanket, then you go to take a shower and ts Just ice cold, cause i know i do hahaha. But other than that this christmas season is definitely not like any other i've ever had but its still amazing, we have had some christmas celebrations with the zone and we are having a ward christmas party tonight! So this week Will be great!! Except for when i cry because my parents are gonna send me pics of all the gifts and fun things they are doin without me on christmas, but it's ok, it's all about the mission experience haha. But i'm honestly super happy right now, i'm gonna miss this amazing zone in a couple weeks and tuxpan zone in general because i feel like imma be heading somewhere else, but i'm still glad!

Here's a scripture I found recently that I liked. Its Alma 18: 21 and 22...

"21 And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another.

22 And thus he commanded them to preach. And thus they became the children of God."

This is the family of God, all of us! We are all unified in this gospel to help and serve one another and stay focused on what is right, which is God and Jesuschrist, especially this Christmas season it's very important to remember them.
