Week 70!

Family and Friends,

Wow, time sure has flown by. 70 weeks now in the mission. 490 days.

Speaking of time flying by, it seems like yesterday that I was last typing a letter haha.

This week had three miraculous events which will constitute this weeks letter.

The first being our mission Christmas Conference. There were a number of Hymns, Presentations, and special thoughts about Jesus Christ. My district (8 missionaries) sung a mixture of 3 hymns about Christs birth, death, and resurrection. It was really special. Before each hymn, I read a correlated scripture. Isaiah 9:6 was one of my favorites.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

The second event was the baptism of Altair! The sisters have been teaching him and I did his baptismal interview. His baptism was really special and the gospel of Jesus Christ has made an incredible difference in his life.

The third being the special sacrament meeting this week. Like the mission conference, there were many hymns sung and the Elders all sang (a group of us 5) The First Noel. It was super great!

Love you all!
