Feliz Navidad

holaaaa!!

the past week I've really been able to focus on the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of jesus christ in my life. I know Christmas time really is the best when we focus on our savior and serving others! that's where we'll find the most happiness! 

storiessss:

first Daryl is doing awesome right now but he's a huge overthinker so he thinks he has to be perfect to be baptized but we're really working with him right now and he loves this gospel so I can't wait to see how the next couple weeks go! 

bad news... this week we could not get ahold of Eddie and we finally went and knocked his door and his roommate answered the door and told us he moved away. he moved without even saying anything??? so we're super sad about that and can't teach him anymore:( 

we taught english at centro hispaño and we're teaching this guy named Patricio who is SO hilarious! we told him we liked his turtleneck and he thought we said can we see your neck? so he pulled it down to start showing us his neck. we quickly said no no and he said ok good you have to pay me to see that, it was pretty funny! 

highlight this week was getting a Christmas tree!!! one night we were walking around and we saw a tree laying on the side of the road and I told my comps WE HAVE TO TAKE IT!! they didn't think it was a good idea but by the end of the night I had talked them into it so we went and got it, buttt by this time people had moved it to the trash. so I had to dig it out of the garbage. I'm getting pretty good at dumpster diving here in vegas hahaha. when we got home we realized we forgot the stand so we had to build a stand for it out of the rocks outside. sooo ghetto but now we have a tree and it's AMAZING

John 3:16- how lucky are we to have a God who loves us this much that he gave us his only begotten son?! I really love this scripture so much and I know if we focus on our savior this time of year we will be able to see the true meaning of Christmas and find so much happiness! 

I love and miss you all SO MUCH! thank you for all of the sweet letters and packages, I really feel so blessed and grateful. hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!!
