I hope everybody is having a great Christmas time, I sure
am. It's nice and I am very blessed and am reminded alot about how blessed I am
being in Chile and having the opportunity to serve others at this time in the
year.
This week has been one of the rainiest and coldest since we
left winder, including the first day of summer which was Dec. 21st. It was very, very rainy and
cold, I'm kind of disapointed because I thought that it was finally warming up
and going to be summer, but I might not get a summer this year.
This week, I went up to the house of the President of the
Branch to introduce my new compaion and he told me something awesome, Marcos
who got baptized and confirmed last week, went up to him and asked how he can
begin to start paying tithing. Monica is still teaching gospel principles too.
It is an awesome feeling seeing people take hold of the gospel and doing the
right thing. I love this family alot and am excited to be a part in their
advancement and growth in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This Friday, we also had a branch Christmas party with
Santa, it was a good success with a good turn out. We watched the Christmas
Devotional talk by President Monson and then the missionaries sang a song and
then we played games. It was fun, and we got a couple of investigators to
attend. I have also still been playing the piano in sacrament meeting which is
great and the branch really loves it, as I have been playing christmas songs,
and the branch can learn new songs.
Well I hope that everybody is having a great holiday season.
I love you all and feel so blessed to have the support and the love. I wouldn't
be here if it weren't for the great examples around me. I pray that everyone can
strive to keep the true meaning of Christmas in their hearts at all time, and
always reamember Him. Remember ``He who gives money, gives a lot; he who gives
time, gives even more; but he who gives of himself, gives everything´´
Feliz Navidad to all of my loved ones, friends, family and
people who read my blog even if I don't know you, I hope you have a very Merry
Christmas.
Love Elder Jentry Nelson
