WHAT. A. WEEK.
these last two weeks have been absolutely amazing! I really love being a missionary and seeing the lords hands in my life so personally! A lot happened these last 2 weeks but imma keep this short!
We went to the temple in the city of Mexico and it was SO AMAZING! Not going to the temple for 17 months makes you realize how special the temple is, guys DONT take the temple for granted! Go as much as you can!! :') It was a very spiritual and memorable experience, and even more memorable when we felt 3 earthquakes sitting in the Celestial room! #mexicomagico
This week our friend Adolfo also got baptized and it was so special! He is one of the most prepared people I've met in my whole entire mission, and I'm so excited for him to keep progressing on the covenant path! Every time I get to see the light of Jesus christ go into someone's eyes I'm reminded why I'm here! The spirit was so strong in Adolfos baptism, and then after he bore his testimony to us all and filled the room w the spirit even stronger! i literally can see him being a future obispo or something! Ah man its such a blessing to be a part of this amazing work!!
In my mission I haven't got to do too much service projects but this week I actually got to 1, help make chairs for a lady in the ward (literally sanding down wood and cutting the pieces w my own hands dad you should be proud haha), 2, help an hermano move, and 3, put together food packages for people that are struggling to even give food to their kids in the ward. Being able to serve every day as a missionary and serve a little extra with the ward members really touched my heart, and made me think especially of all my blessings! I hope you'll all have the chance to do a little extra service this Christmas!
Having now my second Christmas here in the mission I've really realized the magic of Christmas isn't in the material things. The lights on the tree, the presents, the carols, the food and time in family are all great, but should all remind us more of Jesus christ and his atonement- the true gift! Man I love this time of year!
What are you willing to give Jesus this year as your gift? What are you willing to sacrifice? Remember the best gifts you can't buy in the store, but come from a broken heart and contrite spirit! Instead of being stressed out trying to have the perfect gift, party, or decorations, take a minute to really let the peace of christ into your life and reflect on how you can let christ into your life more! Christmas really means christ-más (más in Spanish means more) so this time of the year should really be thinking of christ más:)
Love you all and I hope you have a VERY merry Christmas for me:))
