Week 23 - I'm staying in Lotes y Servicios

So as far as transfers go I am staying here in Lotes y Servicios for my third transfer. I am getting a new companion however his name is Elder Oliveiro. He is from Brazil and he is super awesome. He has more time than me so he is technically named the senior companion but because he doesn't know the people or the area I am now in charge of doing everything so that is kind of weird because I have really taken charge in a whole bunch of lessons or anything. But I am super excited because I have learned that although I can follow orders and be under the direction of a leader, I really like being the one in charge a lot better hhaha.

But yeah I am probably going to keep this kind of short because the computer I am on isn't working very well so I want to get this sent off. But just a few things.

The Christmas Devotional was super awesome!! (Although yes I had to watch it in Spanish.) I don't remember who was talking about it but my favorite this that was said is something like Christmas time is the time to remember the mortal life of the savior, to remember what that means in our lives and what his purpose here on Earth was. And then to.... wait for it..... SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. BOOM! It is one of the best times to invite people to come to church and to check out the message that we have about the savior. Ask you missionaries for the little Christmas cards with give out to your friends! Last December the church had something like 1,300,000 investigators or I think a little more come to church but we want to get 2 million this year so talk to your friends! Especailly on Christmas Day!!

No the last thing is we had a zone conference and a Seventy named Elder Zivic came to talk to us and he said a ton of really good stuff but the best was a quote that is now the motto of my life:

"I want to live my life in a way that when I get up in the morning Satan will look and me and will say, "Oh no, He's awake"

I just thought that was super awesome! Okay I love you  guys so much!! I will talk to yall next week!!
