HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FATHER!
Goodness it’s your birthday again? How the years fly by
right? But good think you’re never going to die because you’re talking your vitamins
right?? Good dad!
I love you!
What a week. Very busy week. We have been walking and running
and talking busses everywhere. We had 3 different conferences/meetings in 3
different locations this week. 1. Interviews with the president in HIS HOUSE!
2. Zone class in the stake building and 3. Conference of the traveling
assistants. All were really great.
In the mission now they are focusing a lot of working with
the members. And I have learned that it is so much better then working alone.
Maybe in the past knocking on doors and working solo was effective but now with
the times changing, the way we work needs to adapt as well. And if the prophet
said that we need to work with the members… I think it would be Smart to
listen. We have some great members here in Collao that are willing and able to
help us a lot in the work. Actually this is the first time in my mission that I
actually have a useful and functioning mission leader who helps us. We actually
has our first activity in the Ward this week. We have a dessert competition. I
made a really good cake. An Apple and cinnamon cake but I DIDNT WIN. (I was tempted
to vote for myself multiple times but I resisted the urge) it was still really fun
and a lot of the people we invited went.
We have more dog Friends in our new sector as well. I don’t
know why so many dogs here in Chile follow the missionaries… They are 2 dogs
from the Street that follow all the missionaries. Their huge and get crazy
excited when they see us.
The jump on us all the time and lick our faces... they have
spoiled at least 3 of my White shirts.
I finally this week got the chance to go to the president’s
house. It is so nice! I love it so much... we asked them if they were going to
put up decorations and they said they are going to do it Monday. We offered to
help! And then they offered us breakfast! So this morning after putting up
their Christmas light we ate cinnamon rolls and fruit salad. SO DELICIOUS!
Well I hope that all is just going dandy this time of the
year for you guys. It is a great time to
be alive and moving... there’s just So many things going on at this time … there’s
Thanksgiving, birthdays, pumpkin pie, Christmas decorations and Turkey sandwiches.
There’s family time, Secret Santa, Christmas dancing, coupons on everything
buyable, Christmas lights Christmas music, debt, forced family fun, cookie time and vacations… sometimes it’s
easy to forget that we are celebrating Christ’s
birth.
I am so excited to be working in the service of our Lord
during this time. And I am excited to talk and share this great message of Christ’s
restored gospel.
The new message called He is the Gift is so great and we are
using it almost every day to find, to teach and uplift the people here.
The church has never done something this big before for Christmas.
This video will be on the big screens in New York City, it will be on the home
page of YouTube on Dec 7... It will flood Facebook, twitter, and all other
types of internet sites with the purpose of helping others focus more on the
true meaning of this holiday.
If you have watched this video watch it. If you have not yet
shared it with a friend, share it. If you are not a member of this church, pray
and ask God if you should be… then do it.
God has given us the greatest of his son and his infinite
atonement for us. Our gift to him is to just accept Christ more fully in our
lives and follow him.
