This week we had the baptism of Marilyn! She is the daughter of Monica, sister of Scarlet and the Mom of Justin and Briana( the two littler kids in the photo I sent). I am very happy that we were able to be part of it as it was a great baptismal service! The Mom gave a great message in the baptism, and Marilyn bore an awesome testimony after being baptized. Marilyn used to go to church with her Mom when they were investigators 10 years ago. Now the only one left in the family of Monica to become a member of the church is another daughter, Angie, and her husband! We continue teaching and encouraging them with the help of Monica to go to church. We also taught The Restoration to Monica´s sister who came to visit for a day.
My package from my family arrived for Christmas this week! Yes!!! I was wayyyy happy to see some AWESOME gifts inside like lindor truffles, beef jerky, chocolate christmas calenders, a USB with mission music, shirt, even a tree and a stocking! Plus a bunch more awesome stuff!
We found actual cheddar cheese this week in the store(a little rare) instead of the usual mozarella that we always eat, so we couldn´t pass up the opportunity to make homemade mac and cheese. We´ll be eating VERY well this week as the members here are awesome about making sure we eat well for the holidays. I remember the feast we had last year for Christmas and think I might gain a couple pounds this week haha. I sent a picture of our Chocapic Christmas Display, the accumulation of the boxes of a couple months of Chocapic. My companion and I love that cereal.
I´ve been having a very happy Christmas season and I hope you all do as well! I love being a missionary in the service of God, especially in this season celebrating the birth of the Savior.
Merry Christmas!

P.S. The Monigotes are looking awesome! I´ll try to take some pictures of them throughout the week if I can. They are the paper mechet creations people make around here for new years eve that they put fireworks in and burn. I´ve seen a GIANT Goku, ¨Alien¨, and Ghost Rider
