Merry 26th of December! Everything is well out here in Biancheri with me and Elder Lopez. For Christmas day we had the blessing of seeing 14 inverstigators present... And yes this week we will see 3 kids of a family be Baptized! I am so very excited to Participate in my first Baptisms! and we have another baptism next week! (one individual) Just seems when that there is Miracles taking place out here, and i absolutely love it! -talking to my family for Christmas was also a great blessing as well, a strength, a lift to continue on!  I know the Lord continues to prepare people to recieve the gospel, we have a new investigator, Hna. Lorena, that has already read the miricle of forgivness, and she uses it to teach poeple, Yesterday in church she order a years worth of Liahonas, and a copy of Jesus the Christ she want to read, as well she wants to visit and see the Temple... wow a blessing to find her.. We Pray the work continue to move forth!

Its Christmas time this week :) and i attached photos of the Temple, because it is Gorgeous, and because now at this time is a good time to have the Savior at the center of our Holiday :) its is quite unique, first Christmas away from home and the family, but ive got to find peace somewhere, and that is through Him :) really, Christmas is a blessing, I hope each member of the family is loving this Christmas time, and enjoying one another :)
Sounds Like everything is a going well too! it is so good to hear others are thinkin about me, i definately feel there prayers, because i would not be able to do it on my own... so thank everyone when ever you talk to someone thats been thinking about me :)

Do something for another, even if its just a smile :) I am loving my time here, it is very difficult at times, but through the Lord strength is givin! - I may even take part in my first baptisms this month, to truly have a ¨White Christmas¨, hehe yup thats how we do it down here in a tropical mission, gotta baptize if ya want a white christmas! Temple Square is beautiful, i want you all to know that! I have a testimony of this great work, and know that the more we give ourselves to the Lord, the more we are blessed :) I miss many of you, and think of you often! - and i hope the photos are enjoyed!
