This week has been amazing! we have ben able to get SO much work done and its all because we were willing to work with the ward, to serve them and love them. this was has been overtaxed for way too long by missionaries so it was high time they got a bit of love back. I have good news as well! ok so you know how calls home have been just that calls home? well don't you think that's a little boring? I mean come on what year are we in? wouldn't it be nice if we could find a way that we could talk to our families on Christmas that is just a little more exciting then a plain ole boring phone call? wouldn't it also be nice to have some sort of digital device oh we'll call it an ipad mini, that we could make such an interesting contact with? and wouldn't it be swell if we had mission President Approval to use said devices for contacting our families on those days? and what if on top of hearing each others voices we could also see each other as well? ok enough of this Tom foolery... we have been authorized to Skype/face time home for Christmas/Mothers day. The same rules apply it is to be 30-40 minutes. and by that, it is TO BE 30-40 minutes long, if a missionary decides to go over well he is also deciding to loose his/her privilege to Skype/face time for the rest of their mothers days/ Christmases.(not that it really would effect me... I still will be exactly obedient!) So there you have it folks good news from Glendale!
This week we had Carlos's Baptism and it was by far the best one I have ever been to, the spirit was so strong and we had an amazing turn out and the stake presidency came and did a musical number. Carlos got up after and bore one of the most sincere and heartfelt testimonies that I have ever heard. Carlos is such an amazing person, he is such a blessing to this ward and he is a leader! he is already talking his other friends to the missionaries in their areas. He wants to come out on splits with us and he is preparing to serve a mission as soon as he graduates High school. He is one of the greatest examples to me of what hard work and a testimony can do for someone.
Well here it is Thanksgiving!
I cannot express to you fully how grateful I am for the love that I feel from all of you. I feel your prayers. I am blown away at how Christlike every one of you is as you have always been there for me and helped me. I know that this Church is true! I know my Savior lives! He Loves us! And because of that we are here to preach this Gospel to all the ends of the Earth to give our brothers and our sisters the chance to feel the love from Father as we feel it. I love you all1 and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
