Friends & Family,

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.... I hope that ya'll have a great Christmas!! I love and miss you all!!! :)

As a mission, we all got together and had a Christmas devotional. WE WATCHED POLAR EXPRESS... I was so happy that we got to watch that.... I cried a little. haha!! So we watched that then ate lunch then had a musical program. All of the Spanish speaking sisters sang a song in Spanish, it was good :)

I am in love with Hispanic food.... I really can't wait to come home and "TRY" to make this for all ya'll..I tried "sopas" for the first time. IT WAS SO GOOD!! It's like a homemade tortilla deep fried with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes,  salsa, avocado... SO GOOD! And the other thing is called "Pasole" Its a soup and you put lime and lettuce in it!!! I want to eat this food for EVER! haha :) I am loving this branch so much and loving the culture :)

We had a Christmas party for our branch.. SO FUN!!! A lot of food, dances, singing. Santa came... That was great!! Had some piñatas. It was such a fun Christmas party! :) I love this time of the year!!! :)


In my studies the other day I learned so much. One of my new favorite scriptures is in the Bible in Luke 9:23 is reads, "And He said to them all, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow him." I love this scripture so much because we are always told to follow Jesus Christ. That does mean when we follow Him that are life will be perfect. His life was NOT perfect, He was perfect. He went through so much pain, and sufferings and much more for us. Yes we need to follow Jesus Christ, but what are we doing EVERYDAY to take up his cross and follow him? What sacrifices are we making for Him?

I love this church so much. I learn so much everyday!! I know that through Jesus Christ that we can be clean again. Only through Jesus Christ, WE can be saved. He is the way, the ONLY way!!

I hope ya'll have a good Christmas.

FELIZ NAVIDAD!! :)
