Hey everyone!
This week has been a petty crazy week. We had branch partys and
thanksgiving and crazy cool contacting ideas and we went to a baptism and so
much!! ill run just a quick summary of my week for you!
monday, was p-day and so we emailed and had a really good day,
you guys got a email then so i wont say more haha.
Tuesday, We had an amazing zone conference in the morning and
then we had a branch party for thanksgiving in the evening! Thats one thing i
love about being a spanish missionary. spanish culture is just fun and a party
all the time!!! it was such a blast! Some of the highlights of zone conference
where the "He is the gift" Initiative! If you havent heard of it go
to ....
..... Christmas.mormom.org...... and check it out! then share it! the main goal of this is to help people remember what christmas is really about! not the hustle and bustle and presents, but about christ our savior! :) -Discover the gift -Embrace the gift - #Sharethegift :)

wednesday, we ended up spending a long time at the doctor, Elder
mayer needed to get an MRI just to make sure his knee is going to be fine, so
we did that and then contacted some cool new people! I talked to one lady that
was a professional basketball player in Romania before she came here! crazy
right!? (we get the MRI results back today but he is improving daily and he
should be doing totally fine. It was more of a precaution anyway haha)
thursday! Thanksgiving!! We got up and went and played
some really fun "turkey bowl" games at a park with some wards and
some none members and then we came back to the house and stated cooking!! i
made a grean bean casserole which i did not eat but people loved it! The other
elders made some easy pies and some mashed potatoes and then we took all of the
food over to our branch presidents house where we had a big thanksgiving party!
It was so cool cuz it was like half american food and half hispanic food and it
was way fun :) after we went black friday contacting at walmart... It
was Crazy! Im not sure if i can handle black friday shopping ever in
my life, but it made for some interesting contacts thats for sure!
Friday, We were fed by a lady in our branch named floridalma.
She makes the best quacamole in the world!!! So Good!!! we also had some cool
expiriences building people faith by using those "he is the gift
cards" super cool :)
saturrday, I got to watch stephanie get baptized!!! it was
so cool! She isnt my baptism, she is like the lords and a bunch of missionarys,
but im just so greatful for the oppurtunity i had to be there! and to have ran
into her which lead to her being baptized! If i never baptize anyone but
because of my efforts other people baptize, then i am happy :) Also that night
we had a huge hot chocolate activity! We contacted like 30 people in an hour by
giving away free hot chocolate and talking about christ! it was such a success!
It was at this really cool park where they have a skating rink and like
hundreds of decorated christmas trees! Super fun and effective day! (also,
alabama won the iron bowl 55-44, Its a pretty big deal don here ;))
Sunday, We had an amazing day at church and then i had leonor,
who is an investigator who is just so sweet and the nicest little hispaic lady
ever, Ask me to baptize her on saturday! I am greatly looking forward to
that oppurtunity! Me and elder jackson started teaching her and then we have
worked with the sisters and now she is ready and really excited to make the
commitment to be baptized, its so exciting!! :) Ill keep you updated on that
haha.
Monday, Now we are back to today and im basically writing
emails! haha i love p-day!
Anyways, i hope that keeps yall updated and i hope yall enjoy the He is the gift thing!!! its really cool! Love yall!
