Hola Todos!
What a different and wonderful week! We left our area
on Wednesday and didnt really get back until
Sunday
night. We were in Viña so much and actually stayed in my companions
first area which was fun to get to know her converts and stuff.
The
Christmas concert was amazing! On the beach. Singin Christmas Songs. In
Spanish. As a misisonary. What could be better? Plus it was really fun.
It has been stressful, yes. And we havent gotten home until
11:30
or later every single night so we are exhausted but it was SO fun. SOOO
many people came! It was so full the last night! We are talking Les Mis
on closing night at the Scera Shell status. There wasnt room for
everyone. There were thousands of people. It was SO fun! And the Spirit
was so strong. I loved every second of it and felt so blessed. So many
people that I love from all my different wards were there. It was
awesome to see some past investigators too that will soon be getting
baptized! I am so happy! It filled me.
This week my studies
have just been great and my companion and I have had some great
discussions. One thing I have learned is about the name of Christ. In
Bible times names had great significance. Just look at Saul who changed
to Paul. Names are important. But a name back then meant more than just
what we call someone. It means all that that person is. So Jesus Christ
referes to his glory, character, attributes, all of it. As we take upon
us HIs name we take on all of those things too. This week I played the
piano for the primary program (SO CUTE! There are like 40 kids and even
Josefa spoke!) and they almost skipped me in the sacrament because all
the kids were on the stand too. I almost had a panic attack thinking I
wouldnt get the sacrament. What a divine and wonderful blessing the
sacrament is. I always want to take upon His name with this ordinance.
FELIZ NAVIDAD a todos! I love you all and hope you remember your Savior and why He came.

ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas there in Chile, Leah! You're doing great. It is fun to read your weekly letters. Thanks to Kate for sending them on! Your dad and Ann were here for lunch today. Yes! Here! In my apartment. I fed them Chicken Cordon Blue, baked potatoes, green beans and apple pie. Good conversation! Love you. Grandma Kelson
