Well this last week was a fun one!
We went to the capital on Tuesday, and then we had a multi-zone conference on Thursday! It was such a great conference! And after we got to watch Frozen! (In Spanish :)
The other day was pretty special, we were walking, and saw a kid doing yard work, and I had an impression to offer to help him. He, unlike many males, let us help! His grandma got out of her chair and was shocked that 2 ladies in skirts were going to shovel and work on the yard. We told her we are used to doing just about anything in a skirt! :) Well after talking to her for a little bit, we found out that her son lives in Utah, and is a bishop there! And that some of her grandchildren have served missions! She has also been to church when she visited the states! We had a lesson with her on Sunday, and it went well, we are really working on her and her 4 grandkids that live with her here!
We had our Christmas party this week with the members here. It was just a little different than normal, and part of that was due to the fact that it was stormy ALL day and there was no power all day... so we had to change our plans and improvise! Fun times! But then half-way through the activity the power came back and we were able to watch the videos that we had planned!!
We had our primary program this Sunday! It went well! The kids have such a love for the church here, it is so fun to see!!
We also got to help paint a house this week! That was super fun!!
Well sad news, one of the strongest families here moved on Monday. It was so sad! But now we are really trying so much harder to find new families to help this area stay strong!
Ponderizing: Alma 9:26. I love how we are able to learn so much about Christ from the Book of Mormon. This scripture is a perfect example of that. I love the last part, quick to hear the cries of his people. We know he is always listening, and is always there. He wants to bless us and answer prayers!
Love you all tons! Merry Christmas!!
