Feliz Navidad familia y amigos! It's been a mint week here in York. The ward Christmas party happened, Elder Peña got to speak Spanish to two families and we started teaching Josh's girlfriend.
Hi, are you alright everyone! The ward Christmas party was this Saturday. It was a nice break partying it up with the ward members. I got a picture with Father Christmas (Santa), did some Zumba and ate English sweets! It was also a great thing to bring investigators to. James' mother came and now I know for sure that he's getting baptized at the end of this month!
This week we had tea with the Cosens and the Trochez families. Both of them are Spanish speaking families, so almost the entire time over there they spoke Spanish. Elder Peña was a bit thrown off, because he didn't expect to be speaking Spanish the majority of the time. With it being in Spanish, I only understood bits and pieces of the conversations. The Trochez family is less active. They are such an awesome family and they have a daughter that's 8 years old that isn't baptized, so we're gonna get on that!
With the Church's new Christmas video, we've been challenged to share it 10 times a day. English people are always in a rush, but when they have 2 minutes to spare we almost always get a return appointment with them. The Christmas lights are going up around the city and downtown York is getting more and more busy.
The highlight of my week was definitely teaching Freya (Josh's girlfriend). She's 16 and she's always excited to meet with us. We've taught her twice and she's getting baptized on the 23rd of December. We told her that she's receiving the best gift that anyone could give, the gift of the Holy Ghost! I'm so excited for her! After we taught her and Josh the first time, Josh let me play around on his electric guitar for a little while we ate pizza. Elder Peña and I have had so many little miracles happen to us throughout the week. We're going bowling in an area in our zone called Selby today for P Day. So like always, I'll talk to ladies and gents later!
Cheers,
