Hi! Are you all so excited for Christmas?? I am! I can't believe it is less than a week! Time has flown by! This week we have been going caroling as zone! It's been fun! Even though the Elders love to sing The First Noel and I am sick of that song because we have sang it over a hundred times! haha But we have been finding a lot of new people! They are more receptive after hearing a Christmas Carol!
Last week we recieved a reference of a 15 year old girl, Genesis, and we went to visit her and we met her mom and step dad! It was an interesting experience. We knocked on the door and the dad told us that Genesis was at the neighbors house in front. So we crossed the street and she came out with an older lady and the lady started yelling at us telling us that we have a different Gospel and we aren't welcome in her house because we don't believe in Jesus Christ etc. It was fun! haha So we finally got Genesis in her house and we met her mom and dad and aunt. We invited them all to church and so Sunday came around and church started and they weren't there but during the Sacrament the dad, Abdel, came! Afterwards we talked to him and he said he was supposed to go to Guayaquil but that he felt like he should stay and go to church! And he said he felt the Spirit there like he has never felt in another church! It was awesome! Oh yeah and he is from Italy and speaks Italian! He understands a little Spanish and speaks even less. He is awesome though! It was our early Christmas present!
The zone also had an early white Christmas this weekend! 9 people were baptized and confirmed! Yay!! We probably won't have any baptisms this month because opening a sector is a slow process but next year is going to be awesome!! I love Christmas time! And I love being in the mission at Christmas time! We get to focus everything on the true meaning on Christmas!! Thank you for the best Christmas present ever for letting me be on the mission and for all that you do to help and support me! I love you all!! I hope you all have the best Christmas ever! I'll talk to you on Sunday!!!! AHHHHH!!!
p.s. Sorry this is a little shorter.. We have a Christmas dinner with President today and we have to leave early!
Love you!!! xoxoxoxoxxXo
Love forever and always,
Hermana Nelson
