CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST!!! But we've
been celebrating all month at the VC and I love
it! My favorite position at the VC is holding the door open when people leave
and telling them Merry Christmas!! It truly gives them a smile and helps them
keep that Spirit with them as they leave the VC :D My favorite thing to ask
little kids their favorite part of Christmas, and you would expect all the
answers to be presents (which some are) but the majority of the kids have been
giving presents, not receiving them. I even had this really cool kid, Hunter,
come up to me the other night and started to tell me what he was giving his
family but then he stopped cause his parents where there so then he told me it
as a secret...He is blowing up balloons and asking his family members their
favorite scriptures and then printing those out "on Word 2007" and
putting a picture of the person on the other side of the balloon! THE SWEETEST
KID! Made me think of my little b-man and all the sweet creative gifts he
always gives! I also invited Hunter to take a referral card home and as a
family, in Family Home Evening, think of someone who doesn't have the Gospel
yet and bring it back so that we can share the Gospel with them..Well he asked
how to do it and if he gives it to me and....etc. He's Awesome! PLUS - his
older brother just got back from a mission to Armenia! I know of one person
that served in Armenia and He knows him - that Kyle Frye! I feel a tad dumb
cause I forgot to ask this kid his name cause I was so excited to talk to his
brother but it was really cool! Heavenly Father always let me meet the weird
connections.
SPEAKING OF ---KAITY WORD! I met your daughter on Saturday! Hermana SOTO!! haha, she was so cute! She came in with a big Spanish group (it was their branch down for the day from New York) and I was the only Spanish speaking sister on the floor so I went to talk to them and they told me where they were from and I said "oh, my sister served her mission in Jersey" and this girl goes, "i did too, what's your name?" I showed her my tag/said my name and she started freaking out a bit and then told me that you were her trainer on the mission! SO COOL!! Then she showed me pictures of you together and I remembered you telling me stories about her and everything :D way SMALL WORLD! That is the 2nd person I have met that served with chu!
This week we had a specialized training for all of our new exhibits in the VC that have been open for a few weeks. It was really fun - Elder Steven Allen, Director of the Missionary Department and Bro. Lsuvardi (he's in charge of all the exhibits of the church) came and taught us how to most effectively use the new exhibits and how to help people feel the spirit through our teachings! IT WAS AWESOME! I'm really trying to use the exhibits more effectively now and invite the Spirit more :D
OH - OUR INVESTIGATOR RECEIVED HIS ANSWER AND KNOWS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TEACHING HIM IS TRUE AND KNOWS THAT HE NEEDS TO BE BAPTIZED!!!! We talked with him yesterday about it and he was just so excited and told us that he knows that this is what Heavenly Father wants from him and knows it will bless him! This is Jose by the way. So we will be having that this next week! AHH!! True miracles are happening here :D and then his family will be sealed in the temple in a year!
Well, I love you all! I know this work is true. I challenge you all to study the Doctrine of Christ - 2 Nephi 31 and ponder how you can more fully apply it in your lives and the lives of others!
Stay Safe! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!
Con TODO mi AMOR!!
