It was so good to see you all! I'm glad we got skype to work.
Sister Turk totally got your email and called me--she offered to
let me use skype in the mission home. haha. (Her health is a
little bad right now--they asked us all to pray for her last night,
so that might be good to include in your prayers.)
Fortunately the Melody Mejía let us use her computer, so we
didn't have to go all the way to the mission home. Mom! You
didn't tell me you got a concussion! I'm glad you're all doing
okay and that you had a good Christmas and Christmas Eve.
Christmas is really only fun when it's shared. We went out to
La Campiña de Moche (a the rural part of Moche, where the
Huacas of the Sun and the Moon are. You should google it.),
ate dinner together as a zone and then had a testimony meeting.
Around a campfire! It was awesome. We shared our testimonies
based on the question ''Why do you love the Savior?'' I'm so glad
I voiced my opinion on that--I really did NOT just want to watch
a movie, which is the usual Christmas Eve activity. After the first
6 testimonies, Hermana Bond and I sang a special musical
number, and then after that we roasted marshmellows. And we
may or may not have had a few fake sword fights with the
marshmellow-roasting sticks... :) Also, I need to send you pictures
of our Christmas decorations and of me opening my presents.
But right now I don't have time... :/
Christmas was really cool. we visited lots of people, sang a
song, shared a scripture, said a prayer, and left. This week has
been a little rough, though. Leonardo, Maribel, Fanny, and María
were all going to come to church, and they didn't come. Cool
story: María is the wife of a less active that I contacted, like,
my second transfer here. And we finally visited them. They have
3 kids, Jorge (19), Patty (14), and one little boy whose name I
don't remember (10). The Heavenly Father is always preparing
people and is SO aware of us as individuals. I know that he loves
us and watches over each of us. Pray always!
