MmmmYello... Here comes Christmas ready or not.. I cannot wiat to be seeing you all this Wednesday! Gonna be the best! I'm down to one more skype convo after this one.. Weird! Well I sure hope that you are all muy animados y que están bien felices(: I sure miss you and love you more than anything.. LAST CHRISTMAS IN THE MISH(: I WILL BE GETTIN ON AT 4 P.M. so it will be 3 P.M. there! 

This is the last week of 2013! (: Cannot believe it.. Pretty crazy how fast this year has passed us by.. This week was a very good week, I would have to say this was one of the most spiritual weeks of my mission, I received a lot of help and guidance, I know that Heavenly Father loves us, no matter what we have done. We are His Work, and His Glory, I felt of that love very strongly this past week.. I was able to go the temple and just bein there sittin in the celestial room takin all that in was just what I needed.. I felt really good.. And just grateful I was able to go.. (: The Christmas Banquet was also very good.. I included some pics--- Hahah I GOT MY PACKAGES(: I was called in front like 7 times including all the letters and shtuff hahah I felt loved but I felt bad cause there was a ton of missionaries and some only got the box from the mission haah I really do not have a clue what I did to be as blessed as I am.. I think it's honestly because that Heavenly Father knows I need the help.. I just wanna really thank you for what you have helped me become and for what I am yet to become I know I owe it all to you and your examples.. Very grateful for the love and spirirt I have felt.. I also ate a large dominoes pizza by myself in Tuxtla.. it costed 75 pesos and thats all she wrote Clark.. I need some Egg Nog(: Haha (: all in good time.
 






Well.. We let the dogs out this past week.. hahah, We are just workin hard and I am enjoying every single step of the way.. My feet are feelin these 18 monhts pretty well to haha the life of a mish! We were able to have some baptisms yesterday also.. The lord works is timefram and you just gotta learn to accept it all no matter what.. At the end of the day I know there is success when I am tired and feelin the bed callin my name,, Grateful to be here and to be helping these amazing people come unto there Savior and Friend.. 

I cant wait to be seeing you all.. (: I sure hope that you can feel the love of Christ and of his spirit.. I just want you to all know that I am truly very grateful for each and every one of you and your love(: 

SEE YOU SOON(:

Well lawdy da.. Another week has passed by in the good ol mission.. I sure am thankful for all that my Father in Heaven and Savior are helping me learn.. I know I am here to learn personally and I feel like I have learned a bunch... Really glad to be here. We have found many people that are willing to listen to our message and so we are gonna open our minds and our hearts and do our part.. Looks like everyone has a comñeteñy different mindset here for th most part about Christmas.. Haa.. The is more remembering the virgins Mary and Guadalupe than Jesus.. But there are plenty of lights and Christmas trees-- Just different.. For me at least! But not much news or anythin excitin that happened this week.. Just lovin this time to be in ol México.. I know that this is the lords work. I'm gonna give it all I have.. 

I was able to go to the Devotional broadcasted from SLC also yesterday..  It was great to be able to learn and see the Temple all lit up and hear the music.. I really did enjoy it.. 

Well gotta get.. Sory my letters are gettin shorter and shorter I will do better and I will try harder to write you all.. Just know that I love you all.. And that I am prayin for you all daily.. You are what I'm fightin for.. !

 10 And behold, he shall be aborn of Mary, at bJerusalem which is the cland of our forefathers, she being a dvirgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and econceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
 11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and aafflictions andbtemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will ctake upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
 12 And he will take upon him adeath, that he may bloose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to csuccorhis people according to their infirmities.
 13 Now the Spirit aknoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the bflesh that he might ctake upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.
 Have a good week and we will talk soon!(: 

Love you and miss you.. Get it right..
