Feliz Navidad~Próspero Año~Felicidad

Hello dear human beans!
In the wake of my favorite holiday, I hope you all had a spectacular Christmas :) I felt so very blessed to be able to be here as a missionary for a second Christmas. Is there really any better time to be a representative of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Really though, I'm so grateful for the Christmas season and for the opportunity it gives us to more fully focus on all that our Savior has done for us. What a great holiday :)

Our Christmas was wonderful. Christmas Eve (morning) Roger was able to get baptized and it was awesome!! He was just so happy :) we've all been waiting quite a while for this--and it was well worth the wait. And honestly, being able to throw together and successfully pull off a baptism in such a short amount of time (we had like 5 days to figure out the logistics side of things like programs and scheduling the building and getting all the right people there--that kinda thing) was a MIRACLE. Literally baptisms never come together easily. So that was literally a Christmas miracle. But the whole service was just so beautiful and the Spirit there was incredible and filled each of our hearts. It was a small service, but that's okay. It was perfect :)

This is Roger :) he's something else for sure. Love the guy though

Then Christmas itself was beautiful too :) for one, its as sunny and 60º outside which is just so weird to me since we always going skiing Christmas morning back at home... Oh whale. And then at church--because this being the perfect Christmas it was, it fell on a Sunday!!--Roger was able to get confirmed and he was even happier!! He was seriously glowing :) Then Hna Zohner and I got to do a special musical number which was fun and then, special guest appearance by none other than MY MUM :D well, my mission mum, Hna Evanson!! That was SO fun to see her again :) you really start to miss your old companions a lot, especially when they're the one who taught you how to missionary! It was so so good seeing her again <3 then 3 dinners and a billion tamales later, we completed what I think has ben one of my most favorite Christmases ever :) wow. Qué bendición!

Mi mum/la abuela, myself, and la nieta 

And with that, happy New Years to y'all!! Have fun and stay up late for me ;)

Ciao!
