That is so crazy that all happened! [Referring to Elder Chase Omana's accident]. The car is absolutely smashed! You have to tell Diane and their family that I will be praying for them and everything! That is so sad but it's a miracle that he is getting better and everything! And that is sad about Bapsie too!
Everything here has been great though! We now have quite a few people on date and a few others were reactivated yesterday! This area is literally on fire now! It was so sweet because on Tuesday we had a lesson with Karina who is the daughter of Hermana Velez and we had it down stairs with Hermana Rojas and it was amazing! Hermana Rojas has a story just like hers so the spirit was so strong and Karina loved it! She has came to church the last 3 weeks with her 2 daughters and son and she is now on date for the 6th! Hopefully 2 of her kids will be baptized with her but we still aren't sure! I am loving everything here so much!
We have another family who is a single mother and her kids. She loves church and she told her work that she couldn't do it on Sunday's because she had to go to church and the ward just loves her! We put her on date for Christmas Eve and she was so ready and she has such a strong desire to make the covenant! She texted us and told us she was going to Virginia for a week to see some of her family but she will be back soon because she has a promise to make with the Lord! We were so happy because she is progressing so well!
Everything is going great here! But for Christmas I don't really need anything! I am happy with everything I already have here! It's the biggest blessing to be out here serving the Lord! For Thanksgiving we already have our whole day booked basically so it's going to be great! We may have to eat like 4 times so I am nervous but so excited at the same time! What are your plans for thanksgiving this week? Love you mom and have a great day! And did you ever get the pictures of Flors baptism??
