I got my suitcase at zone conference, I just forgot to tell you. Guess what! I got the Christmas package!!!! All the Skittles and Starbursts are gone and most of the Chewy Sweetarts and most of the oatmeal also. But I'm saving most of the graham crackers!!!!! Thanks for the Christmas tree it's beautiful! And the sticky things :) ha-ha my house is prettyfied for Christmas.
This week was ok, we didn`t teach a lot but we had three super-awesome investigators in church!!!! That was exciting.
Yeah, I stay pretty warm. Do you know the saying, "if you don't like the weather in Utah stay for awhile?" I've changed it to apply to Punta Arenas. If you don't like the weather in Punta Arenas stay for 5 minutes. ha-ha The days are crazy. It will go from rain to blue sky to snow to wind to blue sky, rain, snow, wind, sunny, cold, hot. I just described the weather every hour :) it's awesome, I love it.
The picture I sent of the family last week were members, we helped reactivate them! They were really fun.
Skype will be the 23rd, 24th, or 25th. We have to talk to the guy in our ward and I don`t know the time yet. I can`t believe how close it is!
Glad things are good in utah!
Les amo mucho! (I love you all a lot) All you guys are awesome. Thanks for the package, it was awesome! Tambien, I got your letter dad from your talk it was super-AWESOME. I liked the quotes a ton and the comic was hilarious!
Sorry this isn't super long, this week was uneventful until the weekend when we had awesome lessons and got people to church. Picture time!!!!!!!!
This is Erica and her youngest son, Sebastian. He is 17. They are super, super, awesome. We have been teaching them for a while, they came to church on Sunday! The man is a retired doctor in our ward that goes on splits with us. We helped them with their tree!
Here is the Poem that Kyla sent:
A Missionary Christmas:
I skipped the sales after Thanksgiving, the thrill just wasn't there.
No pictures taken with Santa Claus, my decorating has no flair.
His presents are shoes, shirts, and ties, two suits and socks....no fun.
I've bought him all white clothes because....
This year I'm giving Christ my son.
I've spent more time in the temple, my testimony stirred.
I've reread November's Ensign, felt strength come from His words.
Our family prays more frequently, my tears are quick to run.
Abraham seems closer because....
This year I'm giving Christ my son.
I wonder how those Lamanite mothers, gave their sons to war?
Or how the pioneers chose Zion, their sacrifice was so much more.
My loss will be his presence, I'll miss his smile a TON.
For two years we will pray for him....
I'm giving Christ my son.
I stare at his face when he's not looking I memorize his eyes, their shine.
He's always hungered for the part of him, that makes his soul divine.
The stories and lessons he always heard, His choice and mine are one.
I'll put my faith in God's hand....
This year, I'm giving Him my son.
Past gifts have lost their glitter, I think I finally understand
Christ's birth should be celebrated by giving Him a hand.
It's because I know Christ lives and reigns, that all his packing's done.
My gift has taken years to make, this year....
I'm giving Christ my son.
I know there's One who understands, the sacrifice I'm making,
For He had done it all before, Greater Love there could be none.
For years ago God gave to me....
His only begotten son.
The hands I washed, the hands I held, the hands I taught to pray,
Now knock on doors to find the ones, who will listen to what he'll say.
Because I know Christ needs him, until all the gathering's done.
My gift has taken years to make....
This year....I'm giving Christ my son.
