Feliz Navidad y Casi Happy New Years!!
Hey everyone! It was another tough week, but we had a great
time, and I know that my testimony is continuing to grow.
So here in Soacha, there are tons of kids is a certain
neighborhood that are always outside doing nothing and now know that I am an
American and they always flock to me when I pass by, and although the attention
probably isn't good, one of the new investigators that we found contacting
happens to be the dad of two of those kids! What a coincidence haha.
On Wednesday, Christmas Eve, we all went to our weekly
meetings in the afternoon. Then afterwards, we all went as a zone to the
Cardiovascular Hospital in front of the chapel, and we sang Christmas songs on
every floor! It was super cool, and an awesome experience for us and for the
sick people there. Then afterwards, we went to the chapel to trade Secret Santa
presents! It was a great time, we have an amazing zone. Then, getting back
pretty late to the area, we went to eat dinner with the Bishop! And I ate the
first real ham that I have had in the mission!
Then comes...Christmas! We got up a little early to head
over to the stake center in Quiroga to eat breakfast with the President, and
with zones Kennedy and Ciudad JardÃn. We ate some delicious tamales with hot
chocolate, and then groups of missionaries from every country went up front to
sing Christmas songs! It was a blast. Then when we got back, we ate Chinese
rice (the cheapest food you can find here haha) and went to call our families!
Then, when all of our appointments fell for the night, we went to visit an
awesome member family and they gave us Christmas cookies.
So since Christmas I have been getting a little sick,
coughing and a cold and stuff, but we decided to go play micro anyway haha so I
am super tired and sore. It was another week where everyone is busy working or
visiting family, so we haven't made a lot of progress. But I know that we will
get it, we just need to be pacient and give everything we have to the Lord. I
know that this is a life of preparation to meet God, and that because of our
Savior, we can all succeed. Have an awesome week!!! :)
