 It was SOOOOOOO cold!!!!

This week has continued to be rough!! But it ended really happy! This week we still have a sickie aboard so we still estamos ayudando puerta grande 2 and it has really taken a toll on us! haha but it’s all good to be honest. It was a really good time in our zone activity this week because of Christmas and all that jazzy fun stuff. We began with some basketball and some breaking of the piñatas and it was sooooooo much fun! I was online but I was short! Every time! But it’s all good. We had a good time anyway. Then we watched FROZEN!! In Spanish . . .  . . .  with English subtitles. It didn’t feel the same hearing the songs in Spanish so I sang the songs in English to myself. . . . Thank you savanna for watching it so many times. ¡Y si hacemos un muñeco! So that was great and this week we are going to watch wreck it ralph. So excited! We had to do some extra work to get all the pisos completed for this week. But we ultimately completed them. I got really comfortable with the Spanish language because I am beginning to have a hard time talking in ingles. It was really good to SEE you guys this week! I was so happy I could at least have 20 minutes. Puerta grande had a lot of success this week and also us but we had it because God gave us a baptism. Literally that is what happened. We had every fecha drop for going to church and everything! grrr but at church we were introduced to a girl that already has 5 assistancias y nos dijo que tiene un testimonio y todo eso!! All she was missing was the baptism and confirmation! And that is why I root for Gods team.

This week was hard because there wasn’t very many people to visit and there wasn’t very many to contact either! but I was reading a little bit in Job because of this hard time and if anyone had a hard time it would be this guy and if anyone set the example of enduring trials it would be this guy and I found a GREAT scripture to help me out (roughly it goes like this) God knoweth my path and giveth the trial and I will come out like gold I really love this scripture so much it gives me the determination to do what Job says " to come out like gold" I really want to be same if not maybe really close to coming out of every trial like GOLD!! I also know that God gives us trials to shape us and to teach us a lesson. To help us understand something or achieve something that we have asked for. This week I have also arrived to know that trials are an opportunity to prove to ourselves and to other people what we are made of and I am determined to come out like gold

Les amo muchismo y espero que toda esta bien con ustedes y espero que los pruebas van a cambiarles por lo mejor y por su ayuda en sus vidas
