Oh and mal, holy cow you are TAN!!!!!!!!
Anyway
as far as skype goes family, send me some times that would work for you
too, remember there is like a three hour difference my time is three
hours later than you guys and I need to be back to my apartment by 10 or
10:30 so just tell me what works! But I´d prefer to skype you guys with
just you guys in the house (Grandpa too if he wants!) but yeah Idk what
your plans are but I´d prefer not to skype during the family christmas
party or anything, I just want to talk to you guys and see our christmas
tree super bad!
And more business, yes mom Elder Schade is in
my district and he is an ap so I see him ALL THE TIME, and as for
christmas decorating, yeah they are putting up some nativity things and
lights we will be having a Christmas Concert on temple grounds three
days this week.... there are rumors that david archuleta might be
there.... he sang in it last year.... so we will see.....I´ll send pics!
Also mom, transfer calls are this week so I´ll let you know, I´m like
almost 100 percent sure that I´ll be staying, some people stay 10 months
in one area... president doesn´t move us much!
As for this week, the first miracle... so remember
how I was super homesick with christmas stuff and all last week? Well
some of the members in our ward showed up with a full sized christmas
tree and decorations, we put it up and wrapped presents under the tree,
literally took almost all the homesickness away. I love just sitting in
the room with the tree and writing in my journal. Agh I love Christmas,
that was such a miracle and answer to prayer. I am constantly shocked
by all of the tender mercies that I have had the priviledge of seeing
here on my mission, everytime I get a little down Heavenly Father
blesses me with another little miracle to make me smile!
Second miracle, we were visiting Carolina one of our
investigators preparing for baptism, she has 11 years.... she is 11
years old? her mom is less active and she is preparing for baptism! We
finished the lesson and she said the prayer and pretty much said "Por
favor, por favor, por favor heavenly father por favor bless the
missionaries to be safe from all harm, don´t let anyone rob them, and
let them be safe por favor!" It was the cutest thing ever and we told
her we would be just fine, we have had a couple of scaryish situations
with creepy men but my sector is pretty safe. So we left and we were
walking suuper fast to get to our next appointment on time and it was
kinda dark when this 60 year old lady stops us because she needed help
calling her friend on the intercom of the building. We were SUUPER
confused why she needed help to type in the number and call but we
helped her anyway, about 1 min into it 2 guys that were on drugs and
SUUUPER crazy walked by whistling and yelling a bunch of horrible stuff
and they got super close until they saw we were with someone else trying
to enter a building, and they left, but seriously we realized after we
helped the lady inside that if she hadn´t stopped us we would have been
walking all alone in a giant dark park with two crazy guys following us.
Prayers work guys, even if its in the wierdest way, these guys were
suuper scary and I´m really grateful that Carolina offered such a sweet
prayer for our protection only 5 minutes earlier!
Well I´ll let you know what happens this week with transfers and all, love you all!!
With Love,
