Feliz Navidad!
So This week was Christmas, didn't
quite feel like it because the weather has been in the 80s and something about
the Boyle Heights enviornment didn't quite reek Christmas Spirit. But it was
pretty cool spending time with the missionaries and members on this day. And of
course talking to my family! Those were I think the fastest 40 minutes ever! So
it turns out that Elder Garry, the zone leader in my district, has a dad that
served in Fort Lauderdale the same time you did Papi! Except he was English
Speaking. His name is Steve Garry from Canada. If that rings a bell, thought
that was cool. Small world!
I forgot to take a picture of it,
but Lydia gave me a ring that has ETTE (except the second E is backwards) which
means Endure To The End. I was super touched! She said she gave it to me to
remind me to always endure to the end and also remember the feelings and such
at the baptism. I was very honored and touched that she did that! And on top of
that she gave us each a tie. So I think I got pretty spoiled this Christmas
along with all the other boxes I got!
So Victoria and her family didn't
get baptized this weekend, but it looks like she is going to get baptized the
12th of January, so we are still pretty excited. January is going to be an
awesome month for us, last night we added 2 baptismal dates to Janurary making
6 for the month! So we are looking to get a lot of stuff done this month! A bit
nervous, but super excited for what's to come.
Starting Tuesday, we will be using
facebook. So I can use my own facebook and everything now. I please ask to not
send me messages or I will have to block my family. But you can like my stuff
and comment, just don't message or try to contact me on there. I am excited to
see how it goes, the purpose of Facebook is to find more people, especially in
those hours where not a lot goes on during the day. So we shall see how that
goes. Just don't get me trunky! I also gave a talk on Sunday, first talk in Spanish!
I think it went pretty well ahah. But all is well here in Boyle Heights
Hope everyone has a great New
Year!!
