First off, favorite christmas memory. Hmm. Idk if I have a favorite. I will always remember when Tayler blew the trump horn thing off of Grandmas tree in my ear and I about died my ear hurt so bad. I think christmas is always special because we get to be at grandmas. I already know that it isnt really going to feel like christmas here (literally since it is like 100 degrees still) But more than anything it is weird to think that one day we wont all be together at grandmas for christmas with oranges in our stockings. I guess we will have to see what happens! Weird to think it will probably just be you and me next year! Jake and I are going to trade spots lol. It was a wonderful week here! We had so many lessons and worked so hard to complete all of the normas de excelencia that we have for our mission. Everything went well and then almost no one came to church so that was a bummer. It is really hard to motivate others about how important church is but we have several ideas so hopefully this week goes better. One of them is explaining the different classes and what we do. I think a lot of people have fear of what people do in churches, and like they dont belong. I have been working on reading the New Testemant a little bit with my personal study and I love the part (that I believe is probably in several chapters lol )But I like how it is put in Mark 2:17 The church isnt a place for people who are perfect. Church is like a hospital for sinners! The only way to feel better is by attending. I love this and it is important to remember not only for those who arent attending right now but for those that are attending. Not a single person is perfect no matter what position they hold. We all have the same goal in mind and we are going to stumble and fall every second trying to reach it. But the amazing this is that we have church and the people there to help pull us back up when we fall, not to laugh when we fall. Our wards and branches should be a huge family congratulating the triumphs and giving comfort when we fall. NOT a place to point fingers.
We had some really great experiences this week and I love my area. Last night we had a missionary acitity in our stake and all the missionaries in our stake (about 20 of us) Sang army of heleman with parts in spanish and parts in english. We might not have sounded so pretty but the spirity was so strong. I find something new every day to be grateful for and am so excited for a new weeek! This is the last week of this transfer and we are going to hope and pray my companion sticks around for another one! She wants to as well! We work so hard together and have laughed so much. She bought a dress for 10 pecos the other day and was laughing so hard because she couldnt zip it over her boobs so I said let me try it! And i couldnt get it over my hips lol Opposite problems! I bought 3 skirts this week! ill send you a picture in one. It is super cute! I bought a nice grandma skrit for 20 pecos too! I have used it once this week. It is super comfy lol. We bought it where they sell clothes like DI style but the clothes are just in huge heaps and you have to search for what you want lol. It is funny because all the clothes have goodwill tags. I wonder how that all works? Anyways, I love you tons! Have an amazing week and holy moly it is DECEMBER! Love you!
Love, Hermana Baer
