Mi Querida Familia,

Okay.... SO I AM SOOOOOOO GIDDY TO CALL YOU TOMORROW, I just cant hold it inside anymore:) I love the pictures you all sent me! and I got ALL of the packages mom:) everybody was really jealous, because they all know I have the best family in the world. Oh and Pres and Sis Woodbury were SO grateful to you! they LOVEd the stockings, and I saw them TOO, I was like... "yep, I definitely have THE best mom EVA!" These are Sis woodburys words, "WOW, your mother is SO kind, no one else sent us anything! I love these! We really needed some in the house!" Ah, I was like... yep that was MY MAMA! Okay yep, today I gotta hurry and write because we are going to the down town today to look at all of the lights, and decorations! YAHOO! (oh ps, I haven't opened all of the boxes... just the one for the 13 days of Christmas.. super fun:)) So I am excited!
So, to sum up a really good week in not very much time.... BAHHH I love teaching about the Savior at Christmas time!
What we have been teaching people is this (lesson plan)
The people in Jerusalem were SO excited and waited for the birth of the Savior, but a lot of people don't realize that people here in America were SO excited to. We tell them the EPIC story of the nefitas in a life and death situation and then we read 3 Nefi 5-20 ish!... And its SO fun! Because people don't realize that people here were SO excited about Jesus's birth here in America! And the Book of Mormon is the bomb, we use it ALL we can, because once they get that testimony... of El Libro de Mormon, they are solid!
Prophets ALL the way from Adam were testifying of Christs birth! Isn't the gospel awesome?
Well, that has been our lesson plan and we share a Mormon Message with them called Que le daremos? I don't know what it is in English but its President Monson and SO many people have LOVED it!
Okay, as far as investigators go.... RICARDO AND CARMEN ARE DOING AMAZING! I want you all to be here RIGHT NOW, to meet them! Oh my gosh, because I just think.. (Hna Hammonds thought process)
"okay mom could TOTALLY get Carmen fellow shipped, and they will be best friends because Carmen is SO awesome and I love her and she loves me! And then we can all go to church together.
Dad- get Ricardo excited about the church and FELLOWSHIP HIM and he is awesome so they can be best friends
Jacob, Haylee, Brielle , Brooke- Fellowship Brian (which is really hard because hes 13 years old and is starting to fall off the deep end here, and is SO quiet and needs cool friends... I wish you guys were HERE SO BAD TO HELP ME....)
Jared- help me teach the lesson:)"
Last night we taught Plan de Salvation.... Ricardo and Carmen LOVED IT AND ATE IT UP..... it was SO fun to see their faces when we talked about the Spirit world (and how there a second chance) and the temple! Then Carmen expressed that she wants her son Brian to be a missionary one day, and her hope that her family will all be there in the Celestial kingdom together, and then I died!... well of HAPPINESS.. okay, yep I am obsessed with this family! AHHHHHHHH... (sorry that's me being all giddy for them!)
This Saturday was a ward activity, and okay, our ward put on the most hilarious play EVER, like full on legit play with back drops and everything, and it was hilarious (Ricardo and Carmen came), it was also spiritual I wish you could have been there, because the musical numbers were my favorite part, I videoed some of it, and I will send you the SD card, because ... oh my goodness it was the best Mexican thing you'd ever see. Then they had food (of course) and IT WAS AWESOME.
Well, this letter is SUPER random but, yeah sorrynotsorrry:) I guess I am just excited to talk to you all! This week we also went to the temple, and that was beautiful:) I loved it. On my mission I have learned many many things, but one thing I have learned is that Satan's power is real and its scary, but because we have Christ we can beat anything and anyone!
Have I mentioned that I love Mexicans?.. One day, I wanna be one;).. haha, they are just the best. Yes, es verdad. Sorry this is short!
I love you mi familia! CANT WAIT to talk to you on NAVIDAD! YOUR ALL THE BEST!
