Remember the birth of our Savior

Hola Amigos

We just got done teaching a guy in the street just a lil bit ago. He said, "I was thinking bout Jesus Christ and how no one preaches that we should prepare for when he comes." And then we walked by and he was like, "Hey hey!" and started talkin to us. He says he knows bout the church and has some family that goes to church in Santa Rosa (capital of la Pampa 2 hrs away from Pico) etc and wants us to come by his house. The other missionaries will teach him cuz he lives in their area, but oh well as long as he gets baptized. :)

It was pretty cool this week. We've seemed to contact the right people. We talked with a lady, Maria and her 15 yr old daughter and they've been to church etc cuz her son is a member and her daughter. I think they both went on missions. To bad one's less active, but the daughter that's 15 wants to get bapt. They stopped going when she was like 7. Maria said, "Nnoo I don't want to get bapt...for now." ha

Also we contacted a less active fam and one of the daughters, also 15ish, isn't a member. And we also contacted a lady that went to church with her mom when she was sick. The lady's not bapt. It was pretty cool. Now we need to capitalize on all these chances :)

My talk was good. There was going to be 3 of us speakers and I noticed the young woman wasn't there. I was like uh ohhh lol but then her mom took her spot and talked a lot, so it was sweet. I think I peaked 13 maybe 15 min idk. I talked bout the mish work and shared some stuff from the talk David F. Evans in April 2012 gen conf talk, called Was It Worth It. I explained how we have the blessing and responsibility to do missionary work as members to non members and less actives. And also people just need an invitation and they might say yes. We didn't have many at church boooo. Last week Sunday there were some less actives that came and that Saturday we went by their house and basically told them how much we need them in church and they went wahoo! But this week they were in Mendoza. I got those ideas from you guys. Alyssa told me a story where a bishop had a ward of like 12 then when he was done there was 200 sahweeet!! We haven't seen Marta in a while. Don't know whats up boo! Roberto has been sick this end of the week. He's gr8 and needs baptism for real. That will change his life. He's had a tuff week. Hopefully he can go to church Sunday. Pray for him!

I'm going to send you a Christmas card with fotos or somethin this year to save money. I hate spending money haha I'll buy stuff in a few months.

We leave to Santa Rosa tonight at 9:30 Argytime to go to our mission Christmas Party thing. We'll get there at 11:30-12ish. Then we take a lil bus with other missionaries to Bahia at favring 4 a.m. haha and will get at Bahia like 9-10ish a.m. then go sing or something at the hospital til idk. Then we have a lil devotional and talent show. Then we return tomorrow nite ehhhhhhhhhhh haha Pray that the bus driver can be awake haha. Will be home here probably like 3 or 4 a.m. Wed haha ughh lol.

Hhmmm what else? I think Pico has the record for the most Christmas lights up haha like 5 people haha it's weird.

But it's a gr8 time of the year to remember the birth of our Savior and his life. It's really hit in the mish how gr8 the atonement is and how we can be cleansed of our sins. I always love it in gen conf talks when they always say it's never to late to repent and change. Also, how aware God is aware of us. It's true. I love that story from idk exactly his name, a conf talk, I think Elder Cornish, where he was having a pretty ruff day and remembered there was a drumstick sale, but he lacked 25 cents. He prayed to God that if it's his will, if he could find 25 cent he said he doesn't need it as a sign or anything but would really appreciate it. And directly across the street from the drumstick place he found 25 cents. He then went on to say the lil things are important to God as they are to us and how much more important the big things for us are to God. Also he understands us! It's awesome!

love everyone of u
