I did get all the packages no preocupe! Yep, I'll still call at five your time. Hermana Corniea is from American Fork, UT! She has been out as long as i have. We were companions in the Missionary Training Center.
On Christmas Eve, we are going over to a members home to make tamales. Christmas day will be like any other normal missionary day. Hermana Corniea and I are trying to make it as normal day as we can that we would have hd with our familia. We have done some caroling but not a lot. We will do more caroling this week.
The weather here is not like your perfect weather. We have 46 degrees this day. Gray skies, no sun, and its windy all the time.
No, I am not the driver. Tiwi is a lamo but its ok we haven't gotten yelled at too much.
The Christmas devotional was so good! I especially loved the video of what the real meaning of Christmas is. I loved the fun games and getting to enjoy all the other missionaries companionship. They talked about the true meaning of Christmas and people shared their musical talents in between the Bible videos the church has released. We had some fun games. One was passing the present. I got down to the last three which was fun. We ate pizza and had a great time.
This week was really good. On Wednesday, Hermana Corniea and I went to the temple which was a very special experience. We got into our session and we had about 200 other missionaries join us from the San Fernando Mission. It was so cool to see all the missionaries. It was like the Army of Helaman but it also was like the second coming as well. We were thankful to be able to enjoy that experience.
On Thursday, we had Exchanges with Hermana Linford and Hermana Wright. They are so awesome! Hermana Linford and I found a new investigator who was walking towards us so we went up and talked to her. We had a lesson with M.L. We were very bold with him and told him that his spirit is like his car broken down and that we as missionaries are the fixers. It was such a cool analogy that I came up with but I know it was totally through the spirit. We visited a couple of other people and we taught the gospel to their needs and made it fun too. We taught a couple of less actives and we help one less active named Jorge. He hasn't been coming to church or doing anything because he forgot he got baptized because he doesn't remember it at all. So we taught him about faith and how we need to start from one step and keep progressing using the example of a seed. Then eventually we will be an tree but we also told him that it takes time to become a tree.
We had the Christmas devotional and then on Saturday, we had a lesson with Tibni. We taught her the law of chastity and the Word of Wisdom. We explained that Heavenly Father views her as a princess and wants the best for her and he gives us these commandments that way we can go into his presence one day.
We had a couple of miracles this past Sunday. We called Mario on Saturday to see if he was going to Church and he kept giving us the answer that he will try. But on Sunday morning as church was starting, Mario and his two boys showed up to church and stayed for the whole three hours. That was a miracle because we were on the point of dropping him.
This week, I studied how to find people in Preach My Gospel, King Benjamin's talk in Mosiah, and of course the Christmas Story in Luke.
Remember to take pictures for me this week and especially of the food, egg hot cakes, the tree, presents and the pictures of my siblings and their presents and just of the whole entire day. You can even send me a video just like Christine sends videos of the boys. You can just email it to me. I would love it especially when everyone goes out to see the presents and tree if they could send me a quick Christmas message through the iPhone.
Hermana Corniea and her mom have a voice recorder thing that they send back and forth to each other with messages and things that are going on it is so cool.
I can't wait to talk to you in a couple of days! Y'all are awesome and thanks so much for the love and support you give me. I can't wait to talk to you but give me at least a couple moments to talk to my dog! How is my little girl?
Tener un noche buena y navidad
Feliz Navidad y Merry Christmas
love you/ te quiero
Kenzer Lou/ Hermana Fitzpatrick
