Hello
my family and friends.
I
have a bike!!! And it is great. My butt doesn't agree with me and my legs don't
either when I am climbing one of the MANY hills in my area, but it is great!! I
love it!
So, starting over, I
got transferred to an area called Cadereyta. It is the second farthest area
away from the Mission Home. It is pretty rural with a lot of industry around us,
we have to use bikes, and we get to wash clothes by hand. I love it. My new
apartment is the nicest I’ve had so far. I actually have hot water! We have to
take a charter bus to get to the mission offices and that takes like an hour
and a half. This area is great! I am so happy to be here. My new companion is
pretty good too. He is from San Diego. We are killing it in the area! For
example, we just had a baptism!!!! I know, one week here and I already had a
baptism. Let's just say that I am just that good and it had nothing to do with
the other missionaries teaching him for a couple months. Ha-ha
What else is new? Oh,
we have to do exchanges twice a week with all the elders in our zone and with
the assistants. It is going to be pretty dang crazy! There is one area that is
another hour farther from our area. We go out there and do splits with them. I
go with one companion while my companion goes with the other. It will be great
fun! We go out on splits every Tuesday and Thursday and make the trip to the
Mission home once a month. We have a member who owns a taxi who delivers
packages and mail to us then we deliver it to the other missionaries when we see
them.
Okay, so the church is
doing a special campaign for Christmas. He is the Gift. El es la Dádiva. I
didn't even know what Dádiva meant. But it means gift. This video is awesome!!!
I absolutely LOVE the video. They even bought time in Time Square to show
it!!!!! I just can't get over that video. (I just barely watched it again) So,
I encourage all of you to watch it. Really think about what CHRISTmas is all
about. Toys and presents are good, peace and good will are great, and Christ is
the best. This Christmas, discover the Gift, accept the Gift, and
Share the Gift. By so doing, you will be sharing the first and ultimate gift of
Christmas. 
John 3:16 For God so loved
the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
I love you all, have a
great week!! SHARE THE GIFT!!!
