This week was dun dun dun transfers. I am staying here in the good ol sticks of Rockford and me and hna layton are staying together. One of the things that i said before transfers happened was that I told Elder Garcia that if he was getting transferred I would do the blazing challenge at buffalo wild wings which is where you eat 12 wings with the blazing sauce in 6 minutes....basicially death. well i think heaven wanted a laugh cause i only said that cause i didnt think that he would be transfered...well turns out that he was the ONLY one in our zone that got transferred. so yesterday for lunch i lived up to my promise and yes..did the blazing challenge and beat everyone else...my time was 4:40...grossest thing in the world...the pictures following are disgusting and basically very very very gross...so enjoy.
AS for the spiritual side of things: MIROS IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!
weeeeee! her date is Jan 8th! :) this family is so cool. they are memebers and went inactive so we have been visiting with them and in the process of teaching Miros her Mom and Brother have been reactivated in the church and have now become super active members! :) Alan her 16 year old brother is recieving the priesthood this sunday and then he is going to baptize his sister!!! so awesome!! :) :) :)
Jose is now preparing to serve a mission and has been going out with the spanish elders. this work is just so awesome! I love these people sooo much and the spanish is hard..its so hard cause like the only time that the speaking of the spanish really goes on is in the lessons and at church other than that its english cause there are only 4 of us missionaries that are spanish speaking in our zone...but slowly and very slowly i think i am understanding more and more...little by little. the people are patient which is nice.
as for the snow it has snowed more and more and more and more...which is guacala! we will definately be having a very very very white christmas this year. but we dont have anyone feeding us on christmas :(
the thing with most latinos is that their christmas is the 24th...so when they say christmas its really christmas eve. so we had passed the calendar around church to feed us and some had signed up for the 24th and then we were talking to la familia salazar which is the familia de jose and they asked us if we had any where to eat on christmas. ok so christmas means the 25th thats christmas... we told them that we didnt have anyone feeding us so they said to come to their house. we gladly agreeeeed....only to then find out that they ment the 24th...so great. two dinner appts on the 24th and none on actual christmas...:( so looks like well be going with the zls to their dinner appt.... feeeeed the missionaries....it stinks when they dont get fed.... so thank you family for feeding the missionaires last week... You will be blessed even more because as representatives of Jesus Christ you feed us and its like feeding Jesus himself so you will not go unrewarded. D&C84:89
This year for christmas the missionaires in my zone live fairly close together...like 2 districts we always have district meeting combined cause its just easier so i get to see alot of the other missionaires a lot which is kind of unusual i hear... but its super fun. so this year we are getting together in the morning and bringing some of our presents and openening them togehter like a family :) so i have yet to open the other packagaes i have :) :)
But thats all I can think of for now...I get to talk to you in three days so i can fill you in there!
Thanks for talking to mo.... Im so glad she came by to see you guys i miss her.
I love you all so much! look forward to hearing from you and Ill talk to you soon!!!!!!!!
la iglesia es verdadera, el libro es azul y te amo!
paz y amor,
