I cannot believe it is December... time is going way to fast. Also it is still hot and there has been no sign of a change of season down here so it feels wrong to be singing Christmas hymns but at the same time so right....
This week we had so many awesome meetings and really cool miracles happen. Our zone conference was On Tuesday. We gave a training(discussion) on the daily schedule and how we can use our time more effectively! I hope someone got something out of it. Everyone in the zone gave a training so it was really cool to see the greenies that came out when I got moved to this area 7 1/2 months ago giving training's and now they are like missionary pros.
Elder Christofferson came to our mission and it was one of the coolest experiences of my lilfe. We had to show up super early and line the hall way of the building so when he came in he could shake all of our hands. As you can see from the first picture I was the first person in line and I was so excited and nervous. He walked out of the stake presidents office, stopped, looked and us and got the biggest smile on his face. An apostle shaking your hand and saying your name while looking straight into your soul is the coolest thing ever. I could literally feel the spirit radiating off of him. He spoke to us for over an hour and testified so powerfully of the savior. He emphasized that we are the only people in this part of the world that has the authority to teach repentance and baptize and without us this work would not be able to get done. In the leadership meeting that night elder Cornish talked to us about how to balance our lives and the responsibilities we have in the church. He told us to give all our heart in whatever we are doing so if your are cleaning floor you give your all and if you are relief society president you make sure you are the best relief society president you can be. When you are a wife you are the best mom and when you are a mom you are the best mom. And you enjoy every second because life moves fast and we don't have enough time to mope around. We can choose to see the blessing in our lives and make the most of everything we have been given.
Also we have a miracle baptism. A couple weeks ago we were teaching a man named Sam and his 8 year old daughter Xochi. Well Sam fell off date and it was getting hard to meet with them during all the thanksgiving craziness. Well Xochi went to Mexico with her mom for 3 weeks and when she was there she turned 9 so now she is our investigator and SHE IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY!!! She is so cute and excited! Her mom is a member so she knows a lot about the church already but has been less active most of her life. We are just so excited for this little chicka!! She has been so fun to teach!!!
Transfer call are this week so I will probably be moved but I'm excited to see what will happen! I hope I stay in El Paso for the rest of my mission but I'll go where the Lord wants me to go!!
I love you ALL!!!!
Love,
Sister Nye
