Week 21: ¡La Navidad y El Año Nuevo!
Comò andan todos! How is it going everybody?!! I hope everyone's Christmas was a great and you're all getting excited for the New Year! It is going great here right now. Christmas was really such a fun one, especially for my first one on the mission. We played some soccer, played cards and uno, talked to our families, and then went to the beach! Never would've thought I'd be going to the beach on a Christmas...but it was a great one! And with tons of fireworks too!
This week was good.. and a little rough. We started to find some great people in our area...and then Satan always has to get in the way and now Elder Brunelli is having some big time back problems. We weren't able to work the past couple of days because he can't walk, or even stand, without being in some serious pain. So I just ask you all to please keep my companion in your prayers for us...and for the people we are teaching! :)
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! Im looking forward to this year! I know it's going to be great! As missionaries we have a big focus on setting goals...and now we get the time to set the Big-Time goals!!! I think everyone can make a goal of just trying to come closer to Christ. It's not as hard as the world will tell you it is. Everyday just a little by little...and I promise you...you can find the peace, comfort, and happiness that I know we are all looking for in life. I have seen this gospel change peoples lives, and I know there isn't a person on this planet who can't benefit themselves, and their families, by following the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ.
Thats all I got for you guys today!! I hope you all have a great start to the New Year! Vamos Arriba che!!
