Navidad

Hey Fam, 

Hey i hope everyone had a great Christmas! It was pretty weird because it was just a normal day here in the mission, we contacted and sang a lot of christmas songs. Hey i am super sorry that I suck so bad a writing emails, some mondays we only get like 20 min to write. But I really love you all so much and I am grateful for your support :)

Well this week was pretty wild but a lot of fun. We had two days of christmas activities but the best part was that my comp and I got to enter the Temple twice. Also one night as a zone we went outside a Hospital and started singing Christmas songs and gave away hot chocolate. That was a really great experience, people started to take videos of us. Also I got to talk to the fam this week through Skype, that was so great to see you all. I love you all so much :) 

Well as far as the work goes its been pretty good. My comp and I opened this area three weeks ago so we have been working really hard to put baptism dates. After a lot of prayers and fasts we have some really solid people who are listening to us. We are pretty excited for the month of January. The hard part is I only have a couple more weeks here because i am going to finish my time as AP so Im trying to take advantage of every opportunity I can while i am here in this area. 

Things are going great in the mish, I cant believe i am about a week away of completing one year in the mish. Things are going by so fast but I am learning so much. On sunday I had the chance to give a talk in sacrament so I talked about faith in Jesus Christ. It went really well, the second talk i have given here in the field, it was a lot better than the one i gave 10 months ago jaja. 

Oh another cool thing happened this week. Last year went i first came here to Mexico in the airplane i contacted two women. Before they left they gave me there number and told me if i needed anything just let them know. Well the other day I felt a really strong impression that i should call so I did. When i called them they told me that they live in my area...how crazy is that! Here in Mexico City there about 30 million people that live here, so the odds of seeing them was 1 in 30 million. Also my comp and I randomly had changes together to move us to this area 3 weeks ago. We were able to take them to the Visitors Center in sunday which was really cool. It was a really great experience and testimony builder to see how big Gods plan is but how perfect it really is.

I love the mission so much and i know without a doubt that this church is true. I am so grateful that i can be here to learn and grow. I love you all so much and I hope you have a great week! 

Love,

Here is a sweet selfie that I took right before we all entered the Temple, thats about half our mission. 

Changes

Hey, 

Well this week i had changes...but it was a little strange. My comp and I both had changes, we changed wards. So we are both APs but now we are in a different ward. that cool part is that we literally live 20 steps away from the temple which is awesome and the ward is great too. So i am about to start my 5th cycle as AP, its going to be pretty crazy. 

This past week was super busy. We had to give 3 different capacitaciones; one with those who are about to train, one with the zone leaders, and one for the new missionaries. Also we took the missionaries to the museum on friday then to the airport on saturday morning, we woke up at 2 in the morning to take them which was cool. Said by to an ex comp and some really good friends which was kind of rough but hey its all good. On sunday we had the baptism of Saira, she is really awesome. Her parents are going to get baptised in a couple weeks. We were pretty pumped on Sunday for her and so was her fam. I also had my birthday on monday and my comps bday was saturday. So we have eaten a lot of food and cake these past couple of days. Monday morning we picked up the new missionaries from the CCM, its always fun to go back there. Oh we painted two houses the other day. All that time working with Dad painting houses really paid off. I had a lot of fun painting again, it made me feel a little trunky haha. 

Everything is going good here in Mexico, I am loving the mish and all the experiences. I love teaching people the gospel, it makes me so happy to see people's lives change when the understand God's plan for us. I know without a doubt this church is true and that our Father in Heaven knows us all perfectly and knows all are needs. I am so happy to be a missionary and to be able to share the message of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ to all the people here in Mexico. 

I love you all so much and thanks so much for the birthday wishes, it was really cool to see them all :) I hope you all have a great week.

Love,
