CASI FELIZ NAVIDAD


Hey Everyone! IT's alsmost CHRISTMAS WOOOOOOO! 

I love Chroistmas so muchand it's awesome becasue there are plenty of events and chrtmas thign sthat memebrs can bring freiends to and so that's really nice to be able to meet new people to teach them the Gospel. 

THIS SATURDAY I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! It was the first tiem that Julio nad Jaime went to do baptisms for the dead, and it was our great priviledge to accompany them and dang, I have missed the temple. I absolutely love the feelign of beign home that you get hwen you step inside. When asked how he felt i nthe temple, Julio tols us that it felt like beign on an island away fom the wold and that there was this great feelign of peace and calm without worldly worries. I can't recalll his exact words but my heart wasso full of joy that day to be back in the House of My Father and to have the beloved riedns I have watched make the decisionto be baptized descend again into the water of baptism, but this time for people on the other side fo the veil. It also reminded me of just how special the tmeple is, and how sometims we take it for granted or the thigns become rutine, but ehy are so special every single time! 

Also, on a les seriously note, all pf the missionaries who were originally assigned to Cuidad Obregon (aka my companion and I) are freezign up here in Hermosilo. THE PACKIGN LIST FOR U DIDNT TEL US TO BRIGN ANYTHGIN WARMER THAN A RAIN JACKET AND TWO SWEATERS. I know because I brought sai packign list with me. But its' all good because a nic older sister inthe ard gave us jackets that are slightly old fashioned but very warm and another sister brought us themal undeshirt after realizing we were freezign and today, por fin. we coudl buy a few other warmer things in the town center. I can't belive I'm sayign this but I miss the Sonoarna sun. 

Con mi amor por la eternidad,

Burning Spiritually and Physically!

Didn't you just LOVE conference? I feel like I have gotten much more out of General Coonference here in my time as a missionary. It's literally such a highlight and a spiritual fest. I think my favorite talks were from Jeffrey R. Holland, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Russel M. Nelson, and actually, I can't choose, just all of them. I love what Elder Uchtdorf shared about how to share the gospel, step by step. I also love what was taught about the cvonnection between love and ministering, and I absolutely loved the emphasis on repentace and the Atoning power of Jesus Christ.  Thanks to the goodness of the Bishop, we actually had the opportunity to watch in English usign the computer in the Bishop's office and it was so great to hear the voices of the Apostles and The prophet. It's honestly just so much better when you can actually hear their voice with the intonation and all of that. An boy, was that fun. We might have taken over the office for a short while...
