Dec. 15, 2014 Christmas = Cristo mas

Querido Familia y Amigos,                                                                     Dec. 15, 2014

 

    Well, another transfer has come to a close. Traslados (transfers) are on Wednesday, and we find out tomorrow who has changes! Presidente told Hermana M- that he felt that she does a good job training, so she might be training again. There are 14 new Hermanas! Also, Pday Navideño is on Wedenesday! Which means that the whole mission is coming to celebrate Christmas together! I don´t know exactly what we are doing, but from what Hermana Robertson told me, we are going to have lunch all together, have some fun things--maybe singing carols? And we are going to have a spiritual program in the evening with narration and pictures and a choir. I´m playing the piano for it. 

    Also, there are going to be 2 new missions in Argentina in July! Which means that we are losing 2 zones to the Buenos Aires South Mission. And there might be other changes too, but for now that´s all we know. 

  Saturday was my four months mark. Hermana M- made me breakfast and gave me a pretty clippy thing for my hair. :) 

        The Lord works in mysterious ways. Last night we were walking, and there was a group of chicos up ahead, so we stopped to contact a house. An elderly woman, C-, came out and we asked if we could sing her a Christmas song, and she let us in. She told us that she didn´t know very much about Jesucristo, so we started to explain. We shared that God is her Heavenly Father and asked if she could feel His love and if she believed it. She shared with us about the death of her son, five years ago, and the pain that she still felt for this. We shared about eternal families and about life after death. There was a great peace in the room. C- said that she felt good, and that we could returen to explain about this more. We are going back tomorrow to teach the rest of the Plan of Salvation. :)

    Weekly Challenge: Study about Christ in the scriptures! Pick a Christ-like attribute you want to develop, and look for the ways that Christ demonstrates it. Share your findings and your testimony about Christ with a friend, family member, acquaintance, etc. Spread the Christmas love! 

 

    Yo sé que vive mi Señor. Sé que por medio de Jesucristo todo es posible. Él sufrió por nosotros. Él sabe exactamente que estamos pasando por. Vamos a superar cada situación difícil por él. Y podemos recibir su ayuda en cada momento para ayudarnos mejorar y llevar a ser las personas que él quiere. Sé que es verdad, y que este es la iglesia verdadera de Jesucristo. Su evangelio es simple, pero puede bendecir a nuestras vidas más que podemos imaginar. 

Google translate:  I know that my Redeemer lives . I know that through Jesus Christ everything is possible. He suffered for us. He knows exactly what we are going through . We will overcome every difficult situation for him . And we can get your support at all times to help improve and lead to being the people he wants. I know it's true, and that this is the true church of Jesus Christ. His gospel is simple, but can bless our lives more than we can imagine.

 

 Con muchisimo amor <3
