Hola!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
(LATE) Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD THIS WEEK!!!!!! I love you so so
so much and hope it is incredible!
We have
transfers! Hermana Egbert is leaving and Hermana Campos is coming to el
Estrecho! She is from either Santiago or Viña del Mar (I don't remember),
but the important thing to know is she is Chillean! It's going to be so
fun! Hermana Egbert and I have had a good ride!
For Thanksgiving we
used up all our meal time in one chunk and cooked thanksgiving dinner the best
we could! Actually, it ended up really well! We made applesauce,
veggies, gravy (thanks Mom), mashed potatoes, fruit salad, sparkling juice,
etc. The best part is we found turkey slices at this super little
Tienda! Miracle! It was so much fun. But I loved taking a day to be
especially grateful. We are so so so so so blessed. When we always
have a grateful heart, we can always be happy.
Nothing too wild or
crazy has happened this week so I dont have too much to say. I bought a
coloring book and markers to bring to sacrament meeting so that the kids can
color and it really helped them stay quiet. Actually, there was almost complete
silence during the Sacrament and there was a very special spirit. So
thank you mom for showing me how to keep kids quiet(: I miss you
guys!
I've been thinking a
lot about Christ and His miracles lately! Like I said last week,
I've been trying to study from one of them every day and it has really made a
huge difference in the Spirit that I feel and the way I teach and interact with
others. I'm sure you guys have already heard about the Church's Christmas
initiative. But basically everyday leading up to Christmas we do one act
of service for someone else. I invite you guys to do it! I promise
that you will feel a more profound and undeniable peace in your day to day life
and that this Christmas can be one of the best ones that you have had!!
If you haven't already, watch the video!
Anyway, I love you all
so much!! Missions are the best! Sorry this email is a lot shorter! Have
an incredible week!!
