feliz birthday and merry navidad (Dec. 22, 2025)

sorry, missed one! but it was definitely a crazy two weeks! i got my hija!! she is the cutest. her name is hermana garcia and she is from lima. she just got baptized 2 years ago. by herself.

random 
• got to go work with the hermanas in my first area and got to see some of my new converts and members and it was so much fun! honestly made me truly understand how special missionary work is 
• flew to iquitos to pick up hermana garcia 
• had my first and last birthday in the mission :) thanks for all the bday wishes 
all day i thought that everyone here had forgotten about my birthday.. turns out that they were planning a whole suprise party for me that night. it was so amazing it made me cry 
i love this family of mine 🫶🏻 

milagros 
got lots of miracles.. so bear with me 
• i got to listen to one of my new converts give her testimony to a new investigator. it may sound like not that big of a deal but i cried so hard. to hear her tell another person how this gospel has changed her life made me feel like everything i have done my whole missionary has been worth it. that this gospel is so true and that Jesus Christ is the Savior that heals and changes people. i love the mission

• my mom sent me a little tree for Christmas but we had already bought one so we decided to give it to this family that we are teaching. 3 little kids that live with their grandma because their parents are in jail. it was the most precious thing ever to see their faces when they decorated their little Christmas tree and hugged us.

• our friends finally came to church!! and we had the cutest most spiritual sacrament meeting ever. i love this gospel and this ward and this mission.

i just want to wish everyone a merry Christmas and invite you all to remember why we celebrate it. we celebrate Christmas not only because Christ was born but because He died and rose from the dead. He is our Savior. He is the light and the life of the world. Thanks to Him we have this joy and this power to overcome anything that life throws at us. Many people don't have the blessings and privileges that we so often take for granted. So i invite you to be the family that someone doesn't have. To be the light that they can't see. To help them understand the Atonement of Jesus Christ better than they ever have before! I love you all so so much and hope you have an incredible Christmas 🤍
