1 WEEK TILL CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!! December 19th 2016

Hey everyone so i don't have much time to do this email cause we still haven't eaten yet and have to be in the city for splits later... but so what happened from the week....

We had our Christmas Conference which was nice and fun :) it was very helpful and inspirational :) it was just with our zone though instead of the whole mission but it was still good and i had fun there we had a good lesson with our President and got to do practice teaching with him about how to use the Book of Mormon more effectively :) but it was good also work didn't get a whole lot cause of all the time being out for meetings and my companion getting sick from eating at a place called minute burger for the first time haha... who saw that one coming?? i did a little bit... he hates that place now haha.... but MIRACLE we had 10 investigators at Church this last Sunday!!!!!! so freaking happy about it and am just so happy and love these families so much!!!!!! they have a Baptismal date for the 14th of January!!! so we are super excited for them and love teaching them and see them change and really develop their testimonies and strive to live the Gospel!!!! they are two different families but we had them meet at the birthday party of the other investigator and they were able to talk to each other and get to know each other as well and guess what they talked about???? The Gospel and the Book of Mormon!!!!! i was so happy when i heard their conversation :) we also got to teach the Molita family about the Word of Wisdom at the others house while we waited for the party and honestly the field is already white. and Heavenly Father really puts people in our paths who are ready to receive the Gospel when we ask Him for families to teach. but they are so ready and were just like oh well it sounds like i should do this cause i would rather not have my kids be doing this stuff or drinking this stuff when they get older or seeing us do it! ahhh i just love them and am so happy to be able to share this wonderful gift with them and see them grow. as in i feel like they are one main reason why i have been called to Miag-ao is to help this family to receive the Restored Gospel but super awesome and this week  that is all i can think of right now but ya haha....

Also we went to a place called Garinfarm today and it is a super super cool place to go to but a lot of people stare when they see the nametag haha because it's a Catholic place type thing and there are some questionable things there but oh well but super fun and we got to see a monkey!!!!! haha he was really cute you will all see in the pictures so dont worry but i love you all and i miss you all and i will wish you guys a early Christmas right now :) but i will talk to you all again on actual Christmas :) i love you liwat and Remember who you are.

Keep Smiling :)
