Prayers and a Christmas Tree

Haha first of all mal I never thought I´d hear you say chau chau besito.  They say that all the time here, or cuidese ya? or Un abrazo chau chau! And that stinks that you don´t have members to feed you, but what a fun place!!! We only have one sector that is really campo, maybe two, and I´m not gonna lie I think it would be really fun to serve there, mine is the most down town city part in all of my mission... it has its pros and cons, but I´d love to have somewhere pretty and quiet without all the city noise haha but I LOOOOVE my ward, we get fed every day and we have really soooo much support from the members its awesome.
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,
Kyrstin Millett
