BAUTISMO DE ELEN!!!!

Christmas day at church

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I hope everyone had a great week! I sure enjoyed the Skype sesh with my family :) and Christmas here was CRAZY! It was a day that started at 5:00 am! We had to get everything all set up at the church for Elen and Deivin's baptism!! And so we filled the font, set up the chairs and went to go pick them up. We picked them up, helped them get ready, and then arrived. There were like 50 gringos here for Christmas! We got everything ready, but it was late, so we just had a prayer, the baptism service, and then she changed for sacrament meeting. BOY, when she came out of the water, I could just see her smiling, shining face, and I knew that I came here in Santa Cruz for her. :) I have such a testimony in the Lord´s perfect timing.

Sooooo, right after Skype yesterday the AP's called us, because today is transfers! AND I AM GOING TO BE A TRAINER!! I am SO nervous, and I didn't think it was really real. I thought for a second that he was confused. Everyone has been telling me that I am going to be a trainer this transfer, but I think deep down I didn't want to believe them! So I am going to receive her in Wednesday! I am so excited for this wonderful calling that I have to have a daughter :) I feel really nervous because I only have four and a half months here. I had my training, and a transfer with Hermana Carrillo and now I am a trainer!! I feel really honored and I know that the Lord will help me, just as he has done in the past :)

We went to San Jose on Thursday afternoon, which means a five and a half hour bus ride!! We got to San Jose around 9:00 pm, and then the next day, Friday, we had a meeting with three other zones! It´s a big deal here when we get together as a mission, because it doesn't happen often!! And then after we went into the cultural hall and there was SANTA and trees and a whole bunch of presents and music and food. I felt like I was living in the Capitol (Hunger Games reference for Hannah my bff) because normally we NEVER eat like this. It was way funny!! And then we walked around San Jose, and then took the five hour bus ride home!

I love you all. Thanks for all the support and love and prayers that you send me way! I am so happy here. I told my family on Skype, that this is so hard, but I love it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Time is going by so fast and I feel like I just wanna pause and enjoy EVERY second. :) Also THANK you to everyone who sent me something in the mail, or an email, you made my Christmas even better :)
