Wowowowwo! What a week! I completed 9 months; we had our Christmas conference, and a whole lot more that I cant think of.

Okay life is awesome! I am so happy that I get to spend Christmas here in the mission. We spend the Christmas Conference talking about the gifts we have received here and what we would be giving this year. (and we watched Iron Will... I cried... whoops) Wow I have received so much here. First of all: The gift of tongues. I learned Spanish! I thought that would be impossible to do. I have more courage. I have more faith and more knowledge of my Savior Jesus Christ. I am meeting the great people and I am loving every moment. I feel true blessed. AT first I thought... I am already giving a year and a half of my life... what more can I give? But thinking about it, there is so much more I can do. I want to be the best missionary I can be. I love this gospel and the hope it brings to my life. Christ was born in a manger, Joseph Smith was only 14 years old and missionaries everywhere are teaching the greatest thing this world has to offer. By small and simple things, great things are brought to pass.

I will be calling in two day!! No worries, I am not baggy ;) Mom has the info! I love you all!! I hope you all have a great Navidad!! I also sent a ton of pictures to mom... hunt her down haha I LOVE YOU!!!
