The Gift

So it´s been another great week here in the Favorita!!!

 

The Arredondo family is doing awwwesome! They came to church again yesterday and are smoking less, little by little. We are really excited for them! It´s cool to see how much the Gospel blesses families!!! Astrid reminds and encourages her parents to stop smoking, the mom reads the Book of Mormon with Horacio and Horacio loves listening and participating in priesthood. He´s excited to be able to bless his family within a couple of months. They´re doing great and progressing well. 

 

One crazy story for the week happened last night. We were in the bus going home and we think the bus driver might have taken a bad turn and almost hit somebody because when we were waiting at the next stop light a guy on his longboard came flying to catch up to the bus and then used his longboard to bash in the front windows where the driver was sitting, then went running on his friends bike. We got off the bus and walked like 10 blocks to another bus stop. 

 

As most of you know, as fultime missionaries and members as well, we´re sharing ¨the Gift.¨ The gift is Christ, who was a gift given to us by our loving Heavenly Father so that we can be find peace, joy, strength and understanding in this life and so that one day we can return to live with Him one day. In this time of Christmas we often get all busy with presents, parties, and traditions, and although each of those things are good, we should all remember to focus more and more on the reason for Christmas, Christ!!! I´m so thankful for that perfect gift! http://www.mormon.org/christmas

 

Have a great week!!!
