I honestly don't know where to begin
this week. It feels like so much has happened this week, but it all seems so
long ago. This week we had to organize transfers for the zone, which was quite
the crazy experience. I don't think I've ever made so many phone calls in my
life but it all turned out well in the end.
This week has been full of some
pretty amazing miracles. All of which I am certain are because of the Christmas
spirit. We have been invited into so many houses and have had the chance to
talk with so many cool people that I honestly am amazed. This week we have
found 3 families to teach each of which has some awesome potential, plus we
have found several individuals. Each time we taught these families the spirit
has been amazing.
The first family is Jorge and
Maria Villamil Rojas with their
daughter Juliana. They are the happiest people
I have ever met. It's amazing. When we first went to knock their door the
husband Jorge came down the stairs with the biggest smile on his face and
opened the door before we even had to knock. Then when we went back to visit
them they let us right in and we had a super spiritual and amazing
lesson.

The next family is the De La Cruz
family. We knocked on their door and they instantly let us right in. It turns
out that the mom is the sister of one of the members of our ward. We were
shocked when we she told us they had never talked to missionaries before. So we
taught them the Restoration and the lesson was super powerful. When we talked
about Joseph Smith's first vision there was this silence that fell over
everyone and it was honestly so cool.
The last family is the Bernal
family. They're great as well. They let us come right in and we shared the
Christmas video with them and they were more than happy to let us come
back.

Oh, we also met a Cuban guy this
week who is honestly so cool. He doesn't really have a belief in God but he
wants to. We talked with him about the Book of Mormon and how it's the proof
that our church is true and a second witness to the bible that Jesus is the
Christ. It was a super neat lesson and we are super excited to go back.
This next week should be
fantastic. We are really looking forward to being able to teach these families
especially with Christmas coming soon. We're praying that things keep going
well for them and that they will be able to receive the answers to their
prayers.
Love you all! Feliz Navidad!
