Merry Christmas, ya'll!
I agree with you, Mom, about the gifts that we each have.
I think that you were exactly right. Something I have been realizing
is that I feel like I have that same thing that you were saying about
Hannah especially though. Believe it or not, I have a pretty active
conscience. The gift of tongues is the only explanation for being able
to learn a language as fast as missionaries do. It's inspiring.
This week we worked a bit more with Adrian. He told
us that he'd start reading the Book of Mormon, but he has a hard time
seeing the letters so we ordered him one of those GIANT triple
combinations. Haha hopefully the pages aren't too heavy to turn. He
didn't come to church this week, which was a little bit frustrating, but
we think it was probably because the member that gave him a ride last
week didn't come either. We hope to see some more miracles with him
this week.
I don't remember if I told you about Elizabeth last
week. When we taught her, I was thinking that she was the head of the
house, but we met her mom and dad this week and got to teach them all
the restoration. We've been teaching using pictures and pamphlets a lot
lately at the request of President Cottle, and it's been cool to see
how people are completely able to teach themselves the message of the
restoration if we just ask the right questions. They didn't receive the
message as well as Elizabeth did, but we're going to get Elizabeth to
be the pioneer in the family or something. The mom told us that she
would join another church if the Lord showed her where to go. So
there's a lot of hope there :)
There aren't many people in Pearson, but the Lord
has been providing us with things to do and people to teach. It's been
different than any other place I've served by a long shot. It's always
nice that no matter where I serve though, there are always loving
members of the church. This week we're having the Ward Christmas party
and I'm going to be playing the piano. We made up an arrangement of
Silent Night that we sang as a district/part of the zone for the Zone
Conference and the four Elders in Pearson will be performing it on
Wednesday!
I got the Christmas package you sent me and looked
up a lot of the scriptures. I think gummy worms are in one of them, but
I couldn't tell with the others.. I put all the presents under our
little tree :} I'm even more excited for the day to come :) I'll let
you know next week, I guess, what time I'll be available to talk. I
don't really know whether I should make it close to 11:00 or a few hours
later because of Hannah, but it'll work out. Ha I wish I could just
call you to set it up, but President Cottle told us that we could only
call on Christmas Day. Let me know what you want by next Monday and
I'll make it work!
I love you!!! Have an awesome week :)
El Hijo Mejor,
