1 WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

San Antonio River Walk

Hi everyone! Can you believe that it's only one week until Christmas?! I am seriously so excited! We had a lot of service opportunities this week which I was so glad about! It's hard to find service opportunities near the city, and especially in a YSA ward. But we tagged along with some of the other sisters in our district and helped their members and less-actives with moving stuff this week, so that was awesome! 

Lessons with our recent converts and our investigators are still going great :) Lots of them are leaving this week to spend Christmas with their families, so we're about to do a lot more contacting again, but we were able to Skype Mae this week! She is our investigator (basically member) that is getting baptized in January, but she is super sweet and agreed to Skype with us during the break! So we read the Book of Mormon with her, it was just cool to be able to use technology for missionary purposes haha since we don't get many chances to use it for that. 

We also taught Indira 2 lessons already! The Spanish has been alright haha, still trying my best to understand most of what is going on, but she has already read through the first few pages of the Book of Mormon! We also met with Carlton this past week. A few weeks ago we met him through contacting, and when we came back he was like "I didn't think you guys were really going to come back!" Oh my goodness, this guy is so hilarious. My face hurt so much the rest of the night cause of how much I was laughing! We sat with him and got to know him a little bit, and he has such a strong testimony of Jesus Christ! Every little bit in our conversation when he would talk, he would say "I'm just so grateful that you guys came by today, I love talking to other people about this kind of stuff." And he basically set up our next appointment! "I'll see you next week for Bible study!" Love that guy :) 

Sunday was SO GOOD yesterday! Hermana Nalder and I taught Gospel Principles and talked about service, and in Relief Society the presidency talked about the different perspectives of Christ's birth in the New Testament and the Book of Mormon. One of the greatest gifts Heavenly Father has given us is the gift of His Beloved Son, our Savior & Redeemer who knows us and loves us perfectly. I hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas day this next week!
