Hi Family!! It was so fun to see you all on Skype!
I´m so proud of you for the missionary work you are doing and for always having the courage to do what is right when no one is watching, and having the courage to open your mouth and express your love for someone by sharing what is a part of you--the gospel
This past weekend we had the chance to sing a lot of Christmas carols, and share a lot of scriptures of the Savior´s birth to people who were in need of peace and the Savior´s love.
We found a new
investigator named Lucas who is a lot like Joseph Smith. He is 14 years old, and
just wants to know which church is true, and which path he should follow in his
life. His mom goes to one church, and his dad goes to another, and he is the
only one in his family who is worried about his salvation. We taught him the
restoration, sitting on the street, and at the end, we invited him to pray. He
said the prettiest prayer, asking Heavenly Father to show him what path he
should take in his life, and if this was the right path for him. We´re going to
visit him with a really active young man in our ward this week. Also, Lucas
accepted baptism for the 14th of January. Pray that he´ll be able to come to
church this week please!
Also, I told you all of Francielle and how she´s so anxious to be baptized even though she hasn´t come to church yet. the last time we visited her she looked so much happier and cleaner. She used less make up, and had a huge smile on her face, and this week, we´re going to visit her with another young woman from the ward in order to help her come to church.
Yesterday, in church, I felt the Spirit so strongly when the Bishop spoke about the Savior. He said that it´s very common in our lives to become depressed our unhappy if we aren´t able to reach a goal we´ve made for ourselves, or, if we simply aren´t able to find hope in a difficult trial we go through. He shared three scriptures that I absolutely loved: Doctrine and Covenants 58: 2-4, Luke 4:2, and Mosiah 15:7. Please read them!

He said that Jesus Christ descended below ALL things so that he could lift us up when we were feeling down. After all of the many tribulations we go through, come the blessings. We just have to be patient with the Lord´s timing, and with His plan--which includes suffering.
Love you all!! HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
