¡¡¡Hola!!!
Can´t even believe it´s already December, it feels like just
yesterday that it was January and I was wishing you all a happy new year.
So weird!!
With this Christmas there is a new initiative for the church,
and as a missionary it´s pretty exciting. It´s called “He is the Gift”
and if you haven´t heard of it or watched it I invite you to go find it.
December 7th it will be the main video on the homepage of youtube, but you can
also find it at christmas.mormon.org
Missionaries are starting to share this video with people all over the
world. It will even be shown in places like Time Square. How cool
is that?? Anways, it´s super cool, and just has a really good message about
what Christmas really is about. As a missionary we have to share this
video with at least 10 people a day and report how many new investigators we receive
each week. I invite all of you to get on, watch this video and then share
it with someone, or everyone!!
As for the training, it is going really well. Hermana
Jarman really is a good missionary. She speaks super well too, which I´m
grateful for. Lots and lots of studies though. There were a couple
of times this week we didn´t get to work as much because of the studies we have
to do. Friday we had a zone conference to introduce “He is the Gift” and
then we helped the members clean the church because Saturday we had as open
house. It was super fun! As hermanas we get to do the tours so we
get to experience a little of what it´s like for the sisters on temple
square.
We had like a mini version of the Christus set up in the
chapel and then a couple of other presentations and then near the end the
elders were dressed in white and presented the baptismal font and then at the
very end we shared “He is the Gift” and it was just a cool day. You could
just feel the spirit super strong and I know there were a lot of nonmembers
that could feel it too. One of our investigators came and I think it
really is going to make a difference in her progression. So we are pretty
excited about that.
Today I´m writing a little later, because we had a district
activity. It was super fun. We played soccer...of course (not
really much else to do here) and then our district made us barbeque, but
Argentina style. He is from the states, but his dad is from
Argentina. It was so good! Grilled pineapple, grilled meat, sausage,
onions and green peppers with chimichura sauce (I think). Super good! So
I guess that made up for missing Thanksgiving.
Rohayhu!!
