We had some great lessons and are seeing more
progress. A lot of people have told us that we won't have anything to do
this week but we still are full with citas even Christmas Eve and
Christmas day. The work of the Lord is moving forward quickly. The best
part about teaching the gospel is when you can feel the Spirit
testifying through you. I have learned through many experiences that the
Holy Ghost is the only one who can convert the people we are teaching.
We cant convince them of anything ourselves but if we can create an
atmosphere and are worthy so that the Spirit can testify through us as
the Lords servants they are converted.

Our Christmas card!!! We didn't print out many cuz it was kind of
expensive. But something to give to some families here in the ward. Yep
were a pretty cute companionship.

| The crepe breakfast that my comp made for my birthday! Pretty yumm |
It was
fun having a birthday in the mission and we ate lots of cake this week
for sure. There's a lot of pictures from my comps camera that I will
probably send next week too. I was really grateful for the wonderful
people here that helped me celebrate.

| My package that Hermana Cecy brought over on my birthday!! Thanks mom. Your the best. We thought the Santa hats were pretty awesome. We wore them to the Christmas party :) |
 |
 |
| Birthday party with Hermana Lilian! Ive mentioned her before. Shes a little bit crazy because shes lived alone for the past 34 years and is bipolar but she is also really sweet and threw me a surprise party well I kinda found out but originally it was a surprise. She's diabetic so we had some sugar free cream cake. But it was way good! |
 |
| Con Familia Diaz! We had a cita on my birthday to stop by and then they were upset that we didn't tell them it was going to be my birthday so we came back on Friday and so we could sing and eat cake together. They are the most adorable family ever. Andrea was trying to distract us outside so her mom and sister could finish getting everything ready inside. We were eating this candy that looks like worms. |
 |
Our cake. It was pretty good. Chocolate y lechera.  |

Yesterday morning the other Hermanas in our ward called us and said
President has been trying to get a hold of us but we didn't have signal
and then we started receiving messages to call him. He asked us what we
were doing in the afternoon. I told him we already had citas. Then he
wanted to know with who and exactly when and he was getting us all
nervous like maybe he wanted to come to citas with us or we were going
to have special changes or someone died or something but then he told us
that Elder Valenzuela called him and wants us to go to the Visitors
Center in the afternoon to see my cousin. So yeah it was pretty sweet!
We changed our schedule around to go to all our citas early and spend
the last hour and a half of the day at the Visitor's Center with Rob and Rina and her
family :) It was awesome.

These are all of them with Rob and Rina. They took more too! It was so
cool to see them and catch up a little bit. Presidents orders. The
benefits of having a seventy as your uncle I guess. Definitely made my
week!

Think I've said before how whenever you go to the Visitor's Center you find someone you
know. Last night I saw a family from my other ward in Bosques! Valeria
and her mom were there. She is Vanessa Hudgesens twin. Just a shorter
version. I was way excited to see them again!
