I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS (feliz Navidad)

 This was definitely a good ol week. We're on the grind out here in the Carrollwood ward!

Tuesday we got some more Mission BBQ, Then I got to exchange with Elder Whitney, and new missionary! He's trying to teach me Hiligaynon (yes it's a real language, and yes, I'm going to learn the missionary purpose in it) 

We got to go help Brother Hodges with this platform he's building, and eventually going to turn it into a giant water slide. I was the wood mover guy, but you know, I'll be the best darn wood mover guy you'll ever know!

FELIZ NAVIDAD!! We had a district breakfast, and let me tell ya, I got a lightsaber from a white elephant gift exchange. I am one with the force now. We stopped by some members, and saw what they got for Christmas. The Spencer family fed us and man, ham has never been so good. Then we spent the rest of the time dropping off cookies to people on Christmas. We randomly had a girl named Ashley call us.

The next day, we had a lesson with Ashley, she opened up a lot to us, but, SHE'S ON DATE NOW!! We'll see how it goes!

We had a sweet old lady, who's a convert of a few years, play a beautiful piano piece 'I believe in Christ' and let me tell ya, the spirit was absolutely powerful! Then she bore her testimony and it was BOOOOOOOOOMM, the spirit slapped ya in the face. 

We had our friend Tiffani come to church out of the blue. And then finished out our good ol Sunday.

I'm not the most exciting writer, but the topic of the culture of Christ is on my mind. We strive each day to develop a culture of peace, unity, and Christ like love in the world. We want every person to feel that love, yet a culture is formed by the individual. In order to develop a culture of Christ, we have to choose to accept Christ into our hearts first. Christ is our Savior and redeemer, but he has never forced us to follow him. His invitation is to, "come, follow me" This new year, I invite each of you to let Christ into your life. Choose to accept him, and if you do so, we can truly develop a Culture of Christ that can span all kindreds, tongues, and people.

-Ama a toda persona y a toda cosa

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
