Hola a todos!
Well the weeks are just flying by and we're already into December! On
December 1st of next year I'll be flying into a snowy Minneapolis
airport. My focus lately has been making sure I am loving every day as
a missionary and this week has just been wonderful and happy.
On Tuesday we had district meeting. Elder Kroff talked about goals and
he said something I really love. "if you truly understand the
Atonement of Christ, your desire to share the Gospel will grow." As we
understand what Christ and God have given us, we will have a burning
desire to share the happiness we have with others! After district
meeting we took some pictures together. I'm surrounded with a lot of
good people. :)
Wednesday was a lazy day. My sore throat of a couple days wasn't
getting better and we had a few busy days ahead of us so we took a lot
of the day for me to rest up. I took a few naps which totaled up to 7
hours. That night we got out and had a few lessons.
On Thursday we had weekly planning and in the afternoon we had an
awesome lesson with Karen. She is our new investigator and she is so
prepared! We talked about about The Restoration and she asked all the
right questions. Afterwards, we had some extra time and Hermana Twede
had the impression to stop by Taynara's house. She is a less active
we've never met who is Brazilian. We knocked on her door and her mom
answered. Taynara wasn't home but we had a really God talk with her
mom Maria. She spoke in a mix of Portuguese and Spanish and I didn't
have a problem understanding it! When we asked if there was anything
we could do for her, she just said that we needed to come back and
visit her. :) Will do.
On Friday we did some service in the morning and then had a lesson
with Kathi (investigator) later on. We always go there with one lesson
planned and end up teaching a completely different lesson following
the Spirit. We had a really good lesson about prayer and we are
working on helping her feel that God is listening. She has been
praying every day!! Progresssss.
Most of Saturday we were at a ward missionary activity and we went and
invited people to a Christmas concert the ward is hosting. It rained
most of the day but it was fun being with the few members that came.
On Sunday we had church and the ward choir (half of it is made up of
missionaries. We get dragged into everything ;) ) sang a few Christmas
songs. For lunch, and the awesome Villamizar family had all 6
missionaries over to eat for lunch. We are doing a secret Santa gift
exchange with them. So that'll be fun!
Today, Monday, we did some quick grocery shopping, ate lunch anddddd
DECORATED OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!! We are so excited for Christmas and I'm
so grateful Hermana Twede and I are companions.
An elder pyramid!
They have something magical in Spain. In the winter they put a kerosine heater under the table and cover the table with a blanket. So when we sit down at people's houses, we pull up a chair to the table and put the blanket on our laps. I'm not sure how that isn't fire hazard, but I like it. I also like central heating like we have in the states... but you take what you can get.
This is a video of Hermana Twede and I decorating our little Christmas tree.
Have a lovely week!
Love, Hermana Moore
