December 24, 2012 - White Christmas in San Carlos!

Hey family and friends how’s it going! Things are going great here! We had a great week. We were super busy all week! It was good though it all paid off at the end of the week! We had 4 baptisms. We baptized Danilo on Saturday at like 8:30. It went real well. His girlfriend Romina gave a talk and the Spirit was so strong. She is a member and he has been sharing for missionaries for like 2 years and it finally came to an end. They are getting married on the 19th of January. So she said in her talk that not only is he taking this step but they are taking it together and everyone just started bawling. It was real special. 

  Then Sunday we had the baptisms of Julia, Ivannia and Matias. They are a family. They are super special. One day Ivannia came to church with her boyfriend Matias and her little brother Matias. Matias the boyfriend is a member in another ward. So we asked them for their address and we passed by the same day and they accepted baptismal dates and started progressing. They loved listening to us and they were always reading and praying and trying to learn something new. The mom had just been passing through a real tough time, and we found them during that. So it just goes to show how much our Heavenly Father cares for His children. She always talked about how the gospel has changed her life and how it helped her get through this time in her life. I just have a loss of words when I think about them. They are a perfect family and they have done everything right. You could see the change that the gospel and the Atonement had done for them. And it was even more special because they got baptized on the Birthday of the Savior. It couldn’t be more perfect! I’m so grateful to my Heavenly Father and what he has done for this family and for having given me the opportunity to be a part of this process. There is nothing better than a complete family entering the waters of baptism. So this will definitely be a memorable Christmas for me. Perhaps the best one yet! A real White Christmas. 

  But we are excited to keep working we still have a bunch of possibilities for baptism these upcoming months.
Today we played some soccer with the zone, and being summer you would expect hot weather like it should be but the weather is weird last week it rained super hard, and today it’s raining and tomorrow they say it’s gonna rain. Last year for Christmas it was blazing hot! So I don’t know what’s going on. But thanks for everything! It means a lot! I love you guys tons!

  ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!
