Hello everyone! Feliz Navidad, I cannot believe that it is this week! It's blowing my mind that it's here because it feels like it's October still, time on the mission is so strange!
This week was a good one and I hit my 2 month mark! Lots of stuff going on, keeping us busy which we always love. We had a sleepover, all the girls in the zone because we had my first ever zone conference and it was a fun Christmas devotional complete with a talent show! It is so fun to see other missionaries and hear what's been going on and see everyone's talents. Since we are out here in banishment usually it's just us 4 seeing each other throughout the week and the zone on Monday. Sometimes I forget our zone is only a fraction of the mission haha But really there's over 200 of us which blows my mind!
We had a couple awesome lessons this week and I taught Julia again! We went by to make plans for another day that would work for a lesson for her and all of a sudden we are sitting on the couch and I'm teaching haha so that's kinda fun! My Spanish is still not great but luckily sister Carter doesn't understand so she always says I do a great job.
Let's see, oh! We also met some cute abuelita who was just so worried about why I am out knocking doors in the snow, and not at home with my husband. I tried to explain what a mission is and that I don't have a husband and she wasn't thrilled because she said she could see my angel babies standing right next to me in the cold. She was like you are too young and pretty to be doing this and your babies need you! Super strange haha
Then, we went to do service for this woman we found buzzing around on her Jazzy who ended up talking for 20 minutes about how the devil is trying to get her. She saw him during surgery with 2 woman in leather and ever since then they haven't left her alone. You meet lots of interesting people out here lol
We've been getting lots of snow but luckily for us it melts real quick where we are but the places we go for lessons and finding people it snows a ton! It's so funny to us that we choose to trek in the snow in the pitch black to knock on strangers doors! We love it though haha (sometimes)
We also volunteered at the food bank this week which was super fun and we met lots of awesome people! I know for me that serving others always brings me the Christmas spirit and reminds me what it's truly about! I hope you all remember the reason for the season and find ways to serve people around you, not just this time of year but a year! I can promise as you do that you will find greater joy and happiness in your own life!
Anyways, I love you all so so much and I'm so grateful for you especially in this Christmas season! I hope you all have an amazing week and Christmas this year! Love you so much and pray for you siempre!
