I hope everyone had a great Christmas
season. It´s sure my favorite time of the year. And although there was
no snow or Christmas music or Santa Claus or caroling, we had raisins
and pig and aguinaldos and a great time with the members. Shows that
Christmas isn´t about what you do, it´s who you´re with. And I had the
privilege of being with some pretty special people.
This
week we received special permission to go to Santo Domingo to go to the
temple. It was such a great experience. We got to go with the
Fagerstens and while we were there we went to a restaurant on the ocean
and walked around the park with all of the beautiful Christmas lights
and we got to go souvenir shopping and drive through Colonial City. It
was a fun little trip, and it was such a privilege to go to the temple.
What a beautiful place. I also got to see a couple of my CCM teachers.
It was such a fun trip.
We´ve been teaching a
family, a reference from Deli. They´re amazing. They´re from Haiti, and
Filomiz, the mother, still doesn´t speak Spanish. They´re such a humble,
sweet family, and it´s been so fun to teach them. Deli always come with
us and interprets. They´ve been to church the past couple of weeks, and
they have accepted the invitation to be baptized. They´re such a
special family, and I can always feel the Spirit when we teach them.
Their life experiences have truly prepared them for the gospel. I feel
so blessed to be able to teach them.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! Thank you for your love and support! Happy New Year!
