Feliz Navidad!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!

I hope you guys had the best Christmas! This week has been awesome! My ward is the best, we had a ward Christmas party and they went all out. The ward members are super sweet and made Christmas the best. With our roommates, we made a Christmas corner with all of our gifts and Christ's picture in the middle. On Christmas Eve, we sang at a convalescent hospital.  We all wore our Light the World shirts and sang our little hearts out. Halla! For Christmas Eve dinner, our friend we are teaching, Luz Flores, invited us over for dinner with her family.  They are the sweetest humans. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!!! 

Also, before my mission, I've only had one bloody nose.  However, his past week I've had five.  It's been funnn... ): One time, I got one in the car so we had to pull over and Hermana Wall had to knock on a random door to ask for some tissue and the guy gave us a whole box.  What a nice guy.  I'm sure he thought we were pretty weird though.

We started teaching this kid named Steven.  He's 17 and is from Guatemala.  He moved here to make money and to send it back to his family in Guatemala.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas day. I want to thank my family and friends for being the best ever and making this Christmas the best.  I love y'all so much!!!! Be safe! Have a wonderful week!

Love,

First Transfer

Hi Y'all,

Transfers were this week and I am excited to stay in the Los Angeles 6th Ward (Spanish) with Hermana Wall.

This past week I've seen so many miracles happen.  One was when we were going to stop by one of our friend's house and we passed a park.  We saw a man sitting alone in the rain.  We both were prompted to go talk to him.  When we started to talk, he told us that he knew God sent us.  He said he was about to leave and then it started to rain so he stayed and prayed to God that someone would come and help him get his life together.  When we came up and talked to him, he knew we were his angels.  It was so cool.

We set a baptismal date with a girl named Emely.  She is about to turn 10.  She is super cute!  Her family just moved from Honduras.  I'm so excited!  We are also still teaching Owen!  He has the best spirit and his family is the cutest.

This past week I got food poisoning!  So funnnnnnnn.... My companion and roommates were so cute helping me when I was dying.  Now I'm feeling wonderful and I'm so grateful for everyone around me.

We finally went to In-N-Out y'all. It was awesome. We went to the Walk of Fame, too.  Two people recognized us as sister missionaries. It was super fun.

It's Christmas season and if any of you haven't seen The Christ Child video yet, you need to see it!  https://www.comeuntochrist.org/light-the-world/the-christ-child  It's amazing!  Light the World y'all!!!!  Enjoy this wonderful season.

Love you guys all so much! Stay Safe!

Blessed

Hey y'all,

I don't have a lot of time today, but Thanksgiving was great.  We went with the Elders to a member's house and had turkey, ham and rice! It was the best turkey I've ever had.

We had an appointment with our friend Juan, but he didn't show up so we went with some Elders to his apartment place to try to find him. His address didn't have a number for his room so we started knocking doors.  I'm pretty sure the place was haunted.  It looked like it could be in a horror movie.  No luck finding Juan, but I saw my first wild rat on the street, kind of exciting.

Anyway, we are also teaching a young boy named Owen.  He's the sweetest boy and I love teaching his family and him. 

The other day we talked to this lady on the street.  She had the sweetest heart.  She gave us some random food, not sure what it was, but it was good.  Today we played soccer with some Elders and Hermanas.  It was so fun to get to play some soccer.  After, we had a cute little picnic. It was a good time.

Anyway,hope y'all have a great week! Stay safe!!!

Love,

Hermana Weenig <3
