White Christmas

Merry Christmas to everyone! Hope yall have the best christmas. For me I got to say i was quite fortunate to have the best christmas ever! Couldn't have asked for more this last week. We got to go to madrid!! We had the mission conference. Probably the most spiritual day of my life. We got to eat some american food so that was a plus too. I got to go through the temple with my cousin elder knight. It was a pretty special moment for me. He is such a stud and has been such an example for me here on the mission. (Also im staying in jerez again so me and him are going to be in the same zone again!!! Blessings on blessings im telling yall) my comp is still elder tanner he is an absolute stud and easily one of my best friends of the mission. I am so grateful for the blessings this Christmas has brought but better than it all was this Sunday. Michael, Logan and Nathan all got baptized.

Nathan and Logan are complete studs and i hope i can remember the look on their faces as they came out of the water just so happy, but i definitely wont forget the look Logan gave me right before he turned back around and belly flopped into the baptismal font (luckily the doors were shut by then but i heard it sounded like a car hitting a brick wall) he made up for it with his testimony tho had the whole ward crying.
Michael was our friend who suddenly dipped out of town and said he didn’t want to be baptized won't go full story but we talked to him again shared our testimonies and in the end got to see him be baptized Sunday too. His testimony brought the spirit so strong. He's looking to try to go on a mission of some sort even though he is 26 years old so we are talking to him about it. He really did change my life tho.

Miracles are real, they happen. your life isn't lacking miracles, it's lacking faith. True miracles you don't see through your eyes, you see through your faith. Our mission president shared the thought that Christmas time is so full of miracles because people are thinking more Christ and acting a little bit more in the way he would. Nothing can beat the Christmas spirit, but I hope with this upcoming year I can focus on Christ more and on what He would do.

Love yall!! Merry Christmas!
