Today was another really great day. We did have to do stupid morning contacts
which do absolutely nothing but waste our time, but our next appointment was
with a little German/Chilean lady whom I love.
She chewed us out because we were a little late, but I love the fact
that she is punctual because NO ONE else in this country is. Our miracle of the
day was with a young 19 year old kid.
Miracle #73: This kid just walked up to us in the
street and told us that he wanted to learn about our church. We took down his address and we were able to
teach him in the house of a member that lived nearby. He was really interested in what we taught.
We had a very spiritual lesson with him.

Today was another nice day.
We had some good service that gave me blisters and was a great workout
in addition to insanity. We had lunch
with I. today for the second time and it was fun talking to his family and
trying not to look at his daughter (the one who makes me forget my
Spanish). We got into two new homes
today which makes 5 for the week. Our
miracle happened today when one of the youth of the ward went with us to
contact a young man named L.
Miracle #74: L. wasn’t home at the time of our visit,
but as we walked back we recognized L. riding a bike and we were able to talk
to him. We were able to make an
appointment to help him do some painting tomorrow.
I met Elder O. brother who got permission to come and do
divisions with Elder O. The coolest part
was that he literally did not believe that I still haven’t finished my training
yet. I have been working so hard on my
Spanish fluency that it is gratifying to know that it is paying off.

Today was soooo bad.
First off we walked for hours and
hours today. It was awful.
Miracle #75: It wasn’t very hot today.
Our day started with a service project at 9:30 that was ove a
mile walk and the project failed. We
then did a workout and studied until the service project with our contact from
yesterday. That was also another mile
walk and it turned out that they didn’t really have much for us to do. We just basically visited with the family for
way too long. Then we walked back to the
house and finished our studies before going on divisions. This was another mile walk at least to
another sector where I walked around for 2 hours trying to make contact with
less active members. Man what a long
day… and to top it off, we were fasting.

Today was only slightly less sucky than yesterday. First off, Elder Colvin is not a happy camper
when he is fasting. Elder S. might as well have been dealing with a PMSing
sister. I was ticked all day pretty much.
The only time I was okay was during the 2 lessons that we taught. After Church today there was a baptism but
Elder B. goofed up and overflowed the font. That turned out to be the best part
of my day. My miracle occurred during the First Presidency Christmas Broadcast.
Miracle #76: I was able to practice the piano for 25
minutes while the stake presidency tried to figure out how to get the audio
feed working on the broadcast.
After they figured it out, we listened to 1 talk and then
had to leave because it was already 10:45.

Hoy
fue bueno! We got into 2 new houses today to show the church’s new Christmas
video, “El es la Dadiva”. I had a great
time. Our miracle was just cool.
Miracle #77: We walked past a group of socializing
women and decided to go back and talk to them.
They let us come in and they watched the Christmas video with us. It was
great!
We
had a ridiculously fun night tonight. The funniest thing was when we were in
the street and some of the kids who hand out at night wanted to talk in
English. They wanted us to teach them a
phrase in English so Elder O. came up with the best idea. He taught them to say “Baptize me!” It was hysterical having the kids running all
around us yelling, “Baptize me!”
Also we decided to hang all of the ties that we bought in
the shape of a Christmas tree. Then we
bought lights and strung them on the tree.
Elder B, C, S and I surprised our zone leaders by lighting candles and
singing a Christmas song as they walked in the door. It was fun.

Good day today! 4 lessons, 1 argument, 1 make-up session, 1
companionship inventory. Yep, a pretty
interesting day.
Miracle #78: We passed by an investigator’s house who
is rarely home and he was actually there.
We taught a lesson and set an appointment for a return lesson.
