This week was so amazing!! We had a district meeting and lunch for Christmas and then we worked hard and prepared for our Navidad Blanca!! Even though its been like 100 degrees, we have had a very White Christmas here in Santa Rosa! We had 6 baptisms on Saturday! I had the chance to baptize Angie Rodriguez and it was awesome. Tons of people showed up to her baptism and her confirmation! Her family is so awesome. Her Grandma got reactivated and brings her to church every week! We are so stoked for all the work the elders and hermanas are doing in this zone!
I had the chance to go to Castex a little town like 2 hours from Santa Rosa and I did Divisions with Elder Zegarra! We found like 9 new people to teach and we set a baptism date so it was a pretty good day! I love being able to go to other areas and help the Elders there!
Tomorrow we are eating breakfast with the stake mission leader who is awesome and then lunch with the bishop! And then we are gonna do our skype calls and visit some members and people we are teaching! Should be a fun day!
This week I have been trying to focus my studies a little more on the Savior. Focusing on Him has helped me feel the real importance of CHRISTmas. I'm so grateful for this time of year! Even though it's not the same as home, with the lights and food and presents and stuff, it's one of the best Christmas seasons I've ever had! I love this work!! Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!!
Love,
Elder Tanner
