I
hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas...We had an excellant
Christmas....We ate tons..I think we gained about 10 pounds just this
week...haha
We spent the
day with lots of members and investigators...We also contacted lots of
people on the street, they all seemed to be a lot nicer this
week...haha...
Monday
we were able to go to Hermosillo for a Special Christmas Conference
with the President and Sister Robinson...We heard lots of talks and sang
lots of songs all about Christmas...We also ate a dinner of Mole with
Chicken which was really good haha...you can just imagine how much
chicken they had to make to feed 180 missionaries that of course eat a
lot... We were able to feel a sweet Christmas Spirit with us that
day...That same Spirit stayed with us for all week long...
Tuesday
I had a meeting with some other leaders of the Mission in Hermosillo
and I arrived late Tuesday night to Caborca to meet back up with my
companion...So this week went by really fast...
Christmas
Eve we ate Tamales, Chicken wrapped in Bacon, Pork Loin, Potatoes and
other salads...haha Poor Elder Wilson could barely walk afterwards
haha...Christmas Morning we woke up and did our regular studies...for a
part of our Companionship Study we read out loud the Story of the Birth
Of Jesus Christ...and it brought back tons of memories of being home with
the family reading out loud the same story year after year...we were
also able to read this story lots of times throughout the day with the
Members and Investigators...
We
were able to talk to our families Christmas Day...I loved it...I
finally got to meet my new Sister In Law haha and see how all of my
brothers are growing...To end our Skype call we said a family prayer and
never have I felt so close to home but so far away...I am getting
excited for the next Christmas when we can all be at home and pray as a
family...
We
did tons of things this week but all day long on Christmas I was able
to feel the Love of Christ for me and for the rest of my brothers and
sisters here on Earth...I will never forget the experiences and feelings
that I have had on these Christmases away from home...
Love You All
