We had cambios today! 12/16/13

We had cambios today... And there werent any changes in our sector! Soooo Elder Holt and I will be together another six weeks! And were way pumped haha. We get along SUPER well and work well too. So it will be way fun. Elder Holt is actually on his LAST cambio now haha.... So, in missionary terms, I will be "killing" Elder Holt. O sea, sending him home haha. It will be weird! Its the first time ive ever had that! 

So we had another awesome week! Theres not a TON to update you on. I do have some fotos to send though! So ill do a little bit of writing and let the fotos do more talking haha. 

So our zone and the Zone of Talcahuano Norte have received an assignment from president! And together our zones are going to sing a few christmas songs to a group of kids from i dont know where... haha. I actually dont have a ton of details on it. The other leaders do haha. But so on Tuesday we got together to practice a little bit. It was a little rough because people were trying to get too fancy and were trying to teach parts to a group of people who did not understand a thing about it and didnt have the ability to do it... haha. But so in the end we got it figured out a little bit and it looks like its going to turn out great :D haha. So that was fun. 

On tuesday or wednesday... I dont remember which. But Luis (that got baptized when i first got here) we went to visit him and his parents, and his mom had seen something about the Christmas devotional online or something. Anyway so Elder Holt and I went and downloaded the devotional onto my pendrive and then we watched the devotional with luis and his parents. So i got to see the devotional! :) (in spanish haha) it was awesome! I liked it alot. Monica (the mom) still comes to church every week... but progresses really slow. But she LOVES it. So were gonna start working with her so she can get baptized in Enero! 

Another thing is that this week they had a stake primary christmas activity. haha. And so i got asked to play the piano again to accompany the primary. So i went and did that and it was fun. The primary from each ward song a few christmas songs to los abuelitos (the grandparents) from the stake. The attendance was pretty low.... but everyone loved it! :) haha. So that was a fun little service i did. 

and lastly... On saturday we had another baptism!! :) This week Valentina was baptized! Its basically the same story as Paulita. The family was less active, so we helped them get back to church, and valentina wasnt baptized so she was baptized as well. I shall send pictures. BUT! The BEST part of the whole thing...... Was that her DAD got to baptize her! woo hoooo!!!! AND he did the confirmation!!!!! Ahhhh it was the best thing in the world haha. We were so excited for him and her and just all of them haha. ah man it for real was the best. Theyre such an awesome family haha. Theyre all so humble. Anyway. So we were really happy and excited about that. Ill send pictures!

And then on Sunday just to finish off, we had the confirmation of Valentina, AND Paula finished off her baptizm by also being confirmed in church. So we were very happy. 

And now i find myself here back on monday

I really dont have too much more to update on... haha. So to finish off Id just like to ask that everybody keeps the family Sid Vargas in their prayers. Theyre such an awesome family and they need to be baptized so bad haha. It will help their lives so much. And they want to be baptized and love chcurch and everything... but theyre just kind of hestiant on taking the step.  So if you can keep them in your prayers, asking Heavenly Father to bless them so that they make the decision to be baptized on the 28th of december! Please and thank you :) 

Sooo... thats it for this week! Im just gonna send some pictures now haha. I love and miss you all! Hope youre having an awesome month of December! Hope youre all involved in the work of salvation! Because its the work of EVERYONE! Invite everyone to learn about the gospel and to come closer to Christ! Have an awesome week!
