Prosper Año Nuevo!

HAPPY NEW YEARSSS!!

Well I hope that y'all are recovering from your CrAzY night last night. I know I am! to sweat out all the toxins from last night we sat in a sauna for an hour. Just kidding. But seriously one of the members has a sauna in their house so me and three other missionaries went and sat in it for like an hour. It felt so good. I think we're going to be doing it again next week. Anyways, the past week has been pretty good. We're staying busy and teaching a lot of lessons. There was some contention between me and my companion but that's all cleared up.

I was teaching the Savala family, the family of 6 from Mexico, and felt like I should promise them a blessing if they went to church today. So I was thinking of what I could promise them and I had it in my head. As I began to speak the Spirit came in so strongly and I said "As a servant and representative of Jesus Christ I promise you that if you come to church this Sunday you will feel the Spirit stronger than you have ever felt it in your life and you will know that this church is true." It came out different than I planned it, but I could feel the Spirit testifying to me that it was true. So we are going to try and get them to church.

Wednesday we went to Temple Square with an investigator named Marvin. He has a baptismal date for the 9th. And that was a good experience. He's solid. We left him with the pamphlet for the first lesson and taught him about God being our heavenly father, and how the Gospel blesses family. We came back and he asked us why the Aaronic priesthood was the lesser priesthood and the Melchizedek the greater. We met him because he came to church on his own for a few weeks in a row.

We had a meeting with the Mission President and all the Spanish missionaries. He talked about how next year all of us are going to be working with the English wards and stake. So I'm excited about that. We've been trying to do that since we worked with Elder McCollum and he taught us all that. So I'll probably be with someone who didn't get that training next transfer. So that's all about that has changed. Last night we watched Monsters Vs. Aliens. It was pretty funny. Y'all should watch it. and then at 9:00 we celebrated the new years in Halifax, Canada! Because it was before our bed time and we could celebrate as a zone. It was fun. We had pots and noise. Then today like I said we went to a member's house and used their sauna. Oh and I celebrated New Years for Texas with a countdown. Today I think we're going to watch Chronicles of Narnia or something. It should be fun. Well I think that's about all. I don't have my pictures this week. But next week I'll have some for you. Hope y'all have a great day of recovering and that y'all have a great week! I love y'all and miss y'all. Hope all is well!

P.S.-y'all should get the "Joseph: A nashville tribute to the prophet. It's good.
