December 16, 2013 - Letter to Mom

Hey Mom!!

Sorry never enough time to email people on P day, but hey next week we get to skype!! I´m excited for that!! I´ll make one and add you guys real quick if you send me your info thing! 

It has been a great week!  Like I told dad, Eddi was awesome, and then also Carmen's baptism happened!! Happened kind of weirdly but she is baptized and confirmed nonetheless!!  Since she is so preganant we couldn't baptize her the usual way, so instead of getting immersed backwards she had to go forwards.  That´s like the best I could explain it just use your imagination aha It was weird but it worked!!  And she was confirmed Sunday by a recent convert and it was all good!  Mario is getting the priesthood next Sunday finally!  Not sure who is going to give it to him but I´m excited for that!! 

The concert in Pavones by the temple is tonight!! So I´m way excited for that!! I've seen all my MTC friends at the practices and stuff and now I'm excited to see all the teachers and president at the performance!!  All my favorites left to america or home in Spain but some are still there!!  

Hey could you send me that poem story thing about the footsteps in the sand with Jesus where they all of a sudden are one and its like Jesus carrying the person and not abandoning him.  I remembered it this week and I want it on my wall or something!!  

Hmm we ate a ton of good food this week, and we didnt have a ton of lessons, but the ones we had were awesome!!  So this is weird! I´ve never had anyone online to be able to chat with before but now one of my good buddies in Barelona is online and so is Jake in Madagascar!!  This is fun haha So i´m still jealous of all the Christmas stuff you do.  Decorating the tree at the Hurtados was fun but not enough!! haha I LOVE the christmas cd´s!!  The Alex Boyé cd is the best one ever!! I played it probably a million times through this past week!  I let the hermanas in my ward borrow it and I´m taking a break for a day or two with some MOTAB.  Don´t like them as much because I like one singer usually, but still really good! Thank you so much!!  You always get the perfect gifts!! 

What did you get Kara and Justin for Christmas!  I´m excited to hear!! So the thought I've been shariing with people all week is the story of Christmas in the Book of Mormon!  And how the light was there during the night so the people weren't killed.  I like it because it isn't as famous as the typicle Luke 2 but also you can relate all the light references to the light of Christ coming into the world, and how we all have this light that we need to share with others.  One of my other favorites a few weeks ago was I would make the family read like the YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD verse and right in the middle I would turn out the lights haha And explain how just like we need this light, we need to share the light of Christ with everyone because it´s so improtant.  

Well I gotta go soon! We need to leave early to go warm up for the concert or something like that!! I hope it gets recorded! I'll  bring my camera! I love you!! I´m excited to see you all next week!
