Another letter!

"If Christ had my opportunities, what would He do?"

That question i put into the subject bar i want everyone to ponder this christmas season. If you think about it, how do you face opportunities given. Would you serve, or would you hesitate to say hello. Sometimes all we need to do is smile and wave. This Christmas season we need to have a focus on being more Christ like. When the oportunities arrise to serve, will you step up to the call and do as the Savior would do, serve with a cheerful heart, willingly and full of Caridad. This is something i want everyone to ponder and think about this Christmas season. If Christ had my opportunities what would he do? Be more Christlike, have caridad! Love and serve everyone around you! 

okay, so a little recap. This week we have little mini naturual disaster here in coronel oviedo. And all it was was a rain storm. A tormenta is what it is called in spanish. So wednesday we were at our branch presidients house, going over a list of inactive members to see if they still lived in the area and see if we could even find the houses. Alot don´t have like addresses in stuff. So we were doing that and some big black cloudds started rolling in. We new we had to hurry. The wind started picking up really bad, like really windy. Mini hurricane or something. The dust in the street is really bad. So we left the house, to get back to the apartment and you can´t even look forward cause the dust and wind is so bad. But i see ahead of me and the street is soaked and i just see this downpour of rain coming right at us. And then it hits us. Within like 10 seconds my whole body was completely soaked. Iike i had just taken a shower or something. Okay long stoory short we get back and changed and go around to make sure members and everyone we knew were okay cause the wind and rain... It was bad. AS a result 3 or 4 houses fell from the wind. Like totally collapsed, i think 1 person died.. Another was rushed to the hospital. And many trees got blown over. It was crazy and we were walking through it. haha But ya it wasy crazy. My comp said that is what the summer rainstorms are like. So i am sure there are more to come. Cause it only last ed like 20 minutes but it was really bad. 

One more quick thing before shoutouts. Okay two. So we have a baptism scheduled for the 24th! She is the pregnant mom. She is having her baby this week! Were excited. Her whole family is member but her. but she is committed and will get baptized the 24th. She has a strong testimony. Okay and friday night, we ate with one of the members that always helps with us when we teach. He served us steak and these big sausagelinks! Wow i felt like i was eating at tucanoes or something. That was how good the steak was. Tasted like tucanioes! haha

Serve others this Christmas season! I will keep you updated on how when i can call ya. They are supposed to send me a report. And i am supposed to get one of the packages tomorrow. So that will be good! Thanks for the love and support! You guys are the best! Love you all. Enjoy the pics! haha. The stories, love work hard in all that you do! Siempre Consolen con el Señor! 

Les Amo Mucho!
