Hey Everyone!
It´s Christmas week!! I hope everyone is all cuddled up in a snuggie by the fire with hot chocolate while listening to some Christmas music. Well, while you are doing that I am sweating my tail off walking up these mountains. I don´t want to sound negative, I am absolutely loving it! It is crazy to think that this week is Christmas. The Peruvians have their decorations out and it´s pretty cool here. The members are feeding us well, the good old Christmas spirit! From what I have heard, they celebrate Christmas with eating this cake thing and having a chocolate feast, so I am pretty excited for that!
This week has been one of the hardest week and one of the most rewarding weeks of my entire life. I really have found myself and who I want to be for the rest of my life. The missionary work was normal but there were some struggles. I love the people here and our investigators. I have learned how to have patience. I have made such a great connection with the ward here, and I have made some eternal friends that I will never forget. The ward and us are working so well and we are hastening the work here! With them, I have never had more joy in my life because when they bring us references and teach with them, the Spirit is SO strong!! I have absolutely loved my time that I have had here in Las Galeras and in my mission!
This week will be an amazing week with Christmas and when we think of our Savior Jesucristo! I can´t wait to Skype with some of you guys!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
Love,
