Hola familia y amigos,
Wow, this week was full of a ton of things. It was Christmas and Elder
Fasshauer´s last week, so a lot of things happened.
On Tuesday, we had our mission Christmas party where all of the mission got
together to eat lunch and watch the First Presidency Christmas broadcast. It was
really nice to see all of my old friends.

On Wednesday, we visited Jecksel. Her dad isn't letting her go to church
because she needs to take care of her little brother. We are praying that her
dad can change his mind and let her go so we need some prayers in behalf of Jecksel.
We also taught the Word of Wisdom to Pilar that night. She was already
living it, so no problems there.
On Christmas Eve, we taught Julio a little bit and his family. They were
about to leave so we weren't able to spend too much time with them.
That night we stopped by the houses of a lot of members, recent converts,
less actives and investigators to wish them a merry Christmas. It was a lot of
fun, and we ended the night eating dinner with the Orellana family. We had to be
in the house before 10 and the Orellana family eats dinner at about 10:30, so
they made some food for us at 9 so we could still eat dinner somewhere on Christmas Eve.
On Friday everyone was either drunk or sleeping... we did get to teach
Pilar. We talked about what Christmas is all about, and she already knew it. She
is doing really well, because she is making these changes in behalf of her
relationship with Christ, not us.
On Friday, they also called to tell me that I will be training. Right now I
am with Elder Covinos on an interchange, and tomorrow we go to the office to
pick up our new companions. It will be an interesting experience.
Yesterday, we taught Pilar, and Julio, and the Alberto family, and Elder Fasshauer said goodbye to everyone. It made me think back to Elder Boelter and
when he was finishing the mission. It's crazy how fast time flies. Elder Fasshauer was a great missionary and he is truly converted to the Lord Jesus
Christ.

That´s pretty much it for this week. Oh, I also got to talk with my family
which was wonderful.

| A four-way Skype with the entire family. |
This week we did a lot of walking and it was hot outside. I feel great
knowing that the Lord knows the sacrifice we offer Him. He knows that it is hot
outside and that no one wants to hear us, but He also knows that we work anyways
because we love Him. that was what I gave to the Savior this week as a Christmas
present, thousands of steps on a hot road with His name upon my chest.
Love,
Elder Williams
