For our christmas activity we as a zone went to a nursing home
and visited with the citizens there and sang christmas songs. That was a sweet
experience. I visited with a man name Claudio for a long time. :)
Christmas was good. Christmas eve we were invited to an
investigators home and had lasanga, rice, papeles, food... i cant remember it
all. but it was good. Christmas day we made a potluck lunch and played games
then skyped/talked to our families and that was weird haha... but it good. The
time went by really fast.
As a house we made a gingerbread house. hermana Dibbles
parents had sent it to here. (we ate it the next day ha.. yumm)
I met an LA dodgers baseball player. He´s a brother of one
of our investigators. hes superrrr tall and hes only 18! shoot...
We had some good lessons this week. My favorite one is with
one of our investigators named Erick. Hes 14 and has a baptism date for the
17th of January.
We talked about the vision of the tree of life that Lehi has
in the book of mormon. It was really cool. We explained what certain things
represented and it CLICKED in his brain. I literally saw the lightbulb go on in
his head. He got all excited and was asking questions and understood! He really
wants this Gospel for his family too. His family is really nice and I still
dont know them very well but they dont seem super interested... which makes me
sad. and it made me sad to say Erick so excited and then make the comparison in
the vision that lehi wanted to share the fruit with his family and some partook
but some didnt.
Life is tough. Missionary work is tough but I know that God
lives and that Hes always here to help us. He can help change us into better
people if we let him.
My companion has a quote written in her scriptures that I
love that goes:
¨He cannot work on what He does not have. He cannot have
you, unless you give yourself to Him¨
I have a lot of nooks and bangs in my personality i hope to
smooth out and I know I can only do so if I pray and ask God to help me. He
really is our father in heaven and He can really do anything. I know He lives,
I know He loves us.
con amor, Hermana Hildman
ps. Have a happy new year!!
