Merry Christmas everyone!! This week was such a great week, I love Christmas because it is a great time to really reflect on our Savior and his sacrifice for us. This week we had a baptism! His name is Aaron and he is 9 years old. He is super awesome and loves church. He has a bunch of little friends and the wards has been really good at welcoming him in.  I got to baptize him so that was super fun! He is a little deaf so he was very fun to teach hahah. Christmas was super fun, but also crazy hot. Our mission president had told us that Christmas would be the best day to contact the entire year. My comp and I decided to try it out and we were blessed! We found 5 new people who were super interested and have a lot of potential. I am super excited to keep on teaching them. This week I spent a lot of time thinking about my Heavenly Fathers plan for me, and the knowledge that I have that I am a child of God. I know that I can always rely on Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ becau...

Well this week was probably the hottest week of my life, but also super great hahaha! This week I got to go on divisions with my best buddy from the MTC, Elder Chism! Both of us have just under 3 months in the field, so our Spanish was a little rough but we worked hard! We had a super successful day and were able to find some new people to teach! Right now we are mostly working with a family of 7! There are 4 of them progressing really well and they have baptism dates for the 22nd! When Elder Chism and I visited them, we were able to understand everything, except for one hahahah. She asked us if as members of the church, we can donate blood. Chism and I looked at each other with blank stares because we had literally no idea what she was saying😂. After about 5 minutes we finally figured out what she was trying to say, it was rough hahahah. I'm sure it was really funny for them trying to see 2 gringos trying to figure out what they were saying! Another funny experience this week...

I know i'm going  to be a wreck but its going to be so good hahahah. Thank you for being so great always!!! This week my comp and I were kind of bummed because the fam we were expecting in church didn't show up but  I was just like, why am I sad? I'm out here doing the lords work having the most fun I've ever had in my whole life!!!  This work really is true. I had a super cool experience this week with prayer. the font wasn't emptying so that  we could clean it and fill it again, so we decided to say a prayer but we also remember that faith without works  is dead so kind of jokingly I was like well here's some buckets and we...
