Dear family,
this past week has definitely been a week of miracles, but I don´t want to tell you all of the stories in this email since I´ll be talking with you on Christmas, and if I haven´t got stories, you´ll all be bored with me repeating how amazing missionary work is.
Just know that these next few days, Hna. Daines and I will be listening the the Messiah incessantly (is that how you spell it? I´ve forgotten), and that I´ve been enjoying opening your letters and pictures every day. I´ll take a picture of the Christmas decorations you´ve sent me so you can see just how much they´ve livened up my piso.
We have good plans for the next few days- we´re not tracting Christmas Eve or Christmas, but several members have invited us to spend time with them, so we´re excited for that. We´ll be with the family of the returned missionary that served with Mark on Christmas Eve, and skping home from Rosamari´s house on Christmas day. Tonight we´re visiting Sandra´s family- unfortunately Juan Carlos says he doesn´t want to listen to the missionary discussions yet. Sandra gave both of us a Christmas present to put under the tree, so there´s that to look forward to, as well as those that I´ve received from home.
It´s such a beautiful time of year. We members of the church promise to remember Christ every
Sunday when we take the sacrament, but many don´t have the same opportunity, and now, the whole world lists closer to our Savior. Take this chance to share more of the blessing that we enjoy with those who do not have it, or have left it to the side.
I love you all, and am so grateful you are my family. I hope to see as many of my siblings and nieces and nephews as can make it to Mom and Dad´s house on Christmas.
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn´t come from a store- maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. Merry Christmas, Mr. Potter! Happy Christmas, Ron. And God bless us every one.
