Well I only got one package out of the four. I got the one with the santa bag that had some pajamas in it that I took out (sorry Santa) but I was soooo cold in the night and they are nice. But I didn’t get any of the other ones. I will probably get them later on when we have another conference. Oh well . . .
About the call we are thinking about calling in the morning like you said. Yeah you have the right numbers.. . the code for Mexico is 52 and our area code is 341. But I was thinking that our house phone has a way crappy battery so it wouldn’t take it. So we are going to call from the phone in the church. The number is 4105760. But I think we are going to call you a day before from there just to make sure everything works out well. So I will call at 11 am here which would be like noon there, I am right? We can talk for an hour. And I don’t know if I can talk with Anna, my president didn’t answer my question in my email. But I don’t know, it would be hard because we can't pay for a call from here to New Zealand, that would be crazy. And anna said that probably not either. So that will be complicated.
But I am way pumped to talk with you guys. I don’t know why but the last Christmas I was not as pumped as this year. I think it's because we haven’t talked for a longer time. But prepare questions and everything. I am writing things down so that I can share with you all, spiritual experiences and things like that. I wanted all of you to think of one question. How has the Atonement changed your life?? Just a little answer from everyone, because I don’t want to spend 30 mins on that. You can think about it for the call.
Well we had another miracle happen this week. One investigator that we had been teaching but progressing very well and had received an answer of the BOM and everything but she was scared to make that change. So we were planning and we were inspired and came up with a good lesson plan for her to put a baptismal date. We taught lesson 3 and we testified a bunch and from the first it was a great lesson, you could feel it. And at the end we put a date with her for the 25th and she accepted!!!!! We were so pumped. She works cutting hair and we always have to go teach her there cause she doesn’t want us going to her house because her mom doesn’t like the idea. She is like 24 yrs old. She is really cool.. but this last Sunday she had to go to church and she usually doesn't work on Sunday but someone was having a wedding or something and she had to do a bunch of hair so she coudnt go. But we are going to move it to the 26th after church. So hopefully everyting works out. She has a little bit of a problem with the word of wisdom. Pray for her, she needs strength this week to overcome the temptations, her name is Nohema.
Well we will talk this week and I love you so much and please pray for Nohema she needs much help right now.
Love you all.
PS-I was sooo pumped when you told me about Patricia last week and I wrote her that same day and sent her a note so it should get there soon. I put a pamphlet of lesson 1 in there in Spanish. She is going to love it!!!!
