Fam!

Anna, Hyrum, Benny, Stevie, how are your testimonies?  What'd you do TODAY to build them? To serve Jesus?  Beans!!!! How was your Christmas?

Well.  This week we saw some great miracles. I'm praying much more specifically for the things I need/want now.  How many times in the scriptures does it say ask and ye shall receive? A million!! 120.  So do it, and do it specifically.  God WILL give it to you, given obviously that it's a righteous desire.  But we're good LDS, right?  Our desires are such! So no worries!  Well we prayed to find, in numbers, what we put for news.  There was a young man walking in the street, Alejandro, with whom we played soccer. We had to run to catch up with him and his family, but we did, and we found ourselves outside of his door.  Asked simply if we could enter and share something, and we did.  Bam! 4 news of Gold!  Also we're working with Byron still.  Pray for him, he's good, but his 11 year old mind doesn't know very well what he wants, or at least, what's good for him.  We set a date with him.  He then asked us if he could be baptized SOONER. Why not.  Then 5 minutes later he said, Elders, sorry, but I don't like your church.  Well, he's still doing well, but he's a little more exciting than the average investigator. Also we found an awesome family, Fabian(the son, 15 years old), and the mom, Lidia, and we're teaching them.  They're awesome as well.  Pray for them, specifically, that they can have desires to act with faith to bring themselves closer to Christ.  Also pray for my ward, Clara Estrella, that they can be united, do their visiting-home teaching, and share the gospel successfully with the spirit, with their friends and neighbors.

Christmas we ate delicious food in the night with the family Arancibia, and lunch with the family Flores.  It was awesome!

I love you all!  The church is true, Jesus is our savior, God is our Father, The Holy Ghost bear testimony of them, and Joseph Smith, like us in present day, was, and still is an instrument in the hands of God.

Cio!
