| Our Christmas Tree |
But in others news this week is the week of cambios or companionship changes and I will be staying here in the city of wind (meaning I will be skyping 5 my time or 3 your time) but my companion is leaving and I will be getting my first native companion. Elder Cordona from Mexico!! I am excited because this will force me to speak a ton more Spanish and improve my accent a whole bunch. Elder Cordona has about five months left on his mission so hopefully I will learn a lot from him.
This week we had four investigators in church one was Ninoska she is nine and after sacrament meeting she came up to us and asked us if we could pick her up every Sunday so that she could come to church. Also we had The Riqulme family in church, they are awesome. The dad Luis is a less active member and Elizabeth (the mom) is amazing. After reading the lesson 1 pamphlet she told her husband that he was in apostasy and when her daughter Carla (15) told us that she would pray the next time we came her mom said, Carla make sure that you mean it because you are not committing to do it to these two Elders, when you say to them that you will do something you are making a commitment to God, so you had better keep that commitment. But after Sacrament meeting Luis told me that they were going to come the next week and I said "really, that's awesome" and he smiled and said hey we have to do it.
Also this week while contacting at a house in our sector, in an area where no members live, we found four active families that go to different wards.... WHAT!!! it was crazy, but we are going to work that out.
In our apartment we have our little Christmas tree up with decorations on it and singing Christmas tree lights, but more importantly we are trying to share the Christmas spirit with the world. It is slow and hard work, especially now that it is getting hotter, but it is moving forward as prophesied by many prophets. As Daniel said it is moving as a stone cut out of a mountain moving forward unhindered, or as Joesph Smith said in the Standard of Truth this work is moving forward boldly, nobly, and independent, and no unhallowed hand shall stop it.
I love you all and hope that during this Christmas season you will be more sensitive to the whisperings of the spirit to share this great message of hope and of joy with your friends and your neighbors and with the whole world. I love you all and will talk to you soon.
Elder Hutchins
