THIS WEEK IS "FINNA" BE AWESOME!

Hola, 

This week flew by. I cant believe that I am already HALF WAY finished with my training... ahh!! 

First of all, wasn't the Christmas Devotional last night amazing? This Christmas season means so much more being a missionary. Christ is truly the only "gift" we need. I am so thankful to have a Savior and Redeemer and I know that because he lives we can know true joy. 

With that being said. I had a pretty great week. Sister Leslie has been feeling a lot better so we got to go out a lot more. She still isn't 100% but we are working through it! It kinda seems like all of Florida is sick, kinda gross huh? But all is well, I'm feeling GREAT! 

On Thursday, our last two appointments canceled and we were pretty bummed. We knocked for a while and then decided that we should drive home because it was close to 9:00. We got to the house around 8:30 but then decided to go "Beast Mode"(mission slang?) and knock around our neighborhood. And the first door we knocked, a two really wonderful Dominican women answered and invited us in. We talked to them and they were just so amazing! We said a prayer with them and the spirit was so strong. We testified of the restoration and the power of the spirit in our life. Also, there were two adorable little boys there that were so full of energy and so cute! The time got away from us and all of a sudden we realized that it was 9:25 and considering that we lived like a 10 minute walk away from the house we were at, we ended up sprinting home getting home just in time so we wouldn't have to call President. 

We also taught Victor this week. He is the most humble man that I have ever met. We taught him the resto and committed him to baptism on the 24th of December. He is really hard to "read" because he doesn't talk very much but he has the kindest spirit. We taught him outside of McDonald's. It was not very conducive to the spirit considering there were 2 men "trippin" out on the other tables around us. haha it was interesting but all is well! 

Also, we had a meal appointment with an Argentinian-Uruguayan couple. They made us authentic Argentinian BBQ and it was so good!!! It was so awesome! 

Anyway, that all the time I have this week. I love you all and pray for you every night! Keep being awesome! Thank you for all of your support! Stay close to the Lord!!
