I´ve got two words for you: Hace Calor. What I mean by that
is that it´s freaking hot here! This is definitely the hottest Christmas I´ve
ever experienced, since we´re already sweating from 9 in the morning (in the
apartment) onward. The other day, it was cloudy, and rained a little bit,
and yet, it was still hot outside... Pero Mal... A few people have lights
outside and whatnot, and a few have little Christmas trees (like, the tallest
that i´ve seen is about 3/4 of my height). Well, we only have to endure a
few months more of it i suppose.
Well, our apartment has a problem with cockroaches (The
problem was there before I arrived, ok?) But luckily, Elder Danneman has a
talent for killing the little things. He´s always ready to stomp them and
spray a little bit of bug spray. In one area of the kitchen, it was
really bad when he found it, so he took the bug spray and a lighter and pretty
much torched the area. It was beautiful. So ya, that´s been bugging me a
bit...
Outside of the apartment, we´ve been working a ton. we´ve
walked to all of the borders of our area this week, doing visits, and
contacting in the street. We´ve been focusing a bit more in Christmas
invitations recently. We have our "Ha Nacido un Salvador"
Cards, which are awesome. There´s a video that we invite the people to
watch. In English, it´d be under the web page Christmas.mormon.org. If you still
haven´t seen it, well, I invite you to watch it!
We had a pretty cool experience earlier this week. We
were out walking and doing visits, when Elder Danneman said he had the thought
to go and visit some members in the area. We went, and found them all
together in the house. When we arrived, we talked with them for a little
bit, and then they said that they had recently been talking about how they
wanted to give their child a blessing, because it was a bit sick, but the
father was still waiting to receive the priesthood. So, we had the
opportunity to give a blessing to the child, and share our message of Christmas
with the family also.
Well, i´m just grateful that I had the
opportunity to have that experience. Also, to be apart of this grand
work. Pues, como siempe. seguimos adelante. Por medio del calor, dificultades,
y oposiciones que enfrentemos cada día. Estoy agradecido por esta obra, por
esta iglesia, y por mi Salvador, Jesucristo, quien me ha ayudado diariamente.
Esta es su obra. (Well, as always. We move on. By
heat, difficulties and opposition we face every day. I am grateful for this
work, for this church, and my Savior, Jesus Christ, who has helped me daily.
This is his work.)
