hola familia y amigos,
en esta semana muchas cosas pasaron.
On Tuesday, we taught J and a friend of hers. Her friend´s name is A. She was wearing black clothes and she had black makeup but she was
really nice, and told us that she remembers giving a drawing she made to a
missionary. She heard our message and she really liked it, so we are going to
pass her on to the other missionaries in our zone to see how she does.
On Wednesday we taught Pilar with Brother Cabezas from the ward. Pilar is a
reading machine. For some reason the investiagors always love to read the book Gospel Principles, and she has been reading that and the Book of Mormon
non stop. We taught her the Plan of Salvation this week and we put her with a
baptismal date for January.
On Thursday, we did an exchange with the zone leaders. Elder Huarca was
just made third companion to the zone leaders because of wierd special changes
in another zone, so Elder Huarca went with Elder Fasshauer and I went with the
zone leaders to their sector. We did a lot of walking, but we got teach with a
young man who just got his mission call to Antofaghasta Chile. It was cool to be
able to work with Elder Huber and Elder da Rosa. They get along really well, and
they find the way to enjoy the work that we do even if there aren't immediate
fruits.
On Friday Elder Huarca and Elder Fasshauer had to go to the temple (it's
what all the old missionaries do before they leave), so I was with the zone
leaders teaching in my sector. We taught M and D. They are a young
family that is really receptive. The dad is a rapper (regatonero) so he has a
couple of life style things that he might have to change, but they are a really
nice family.

Elder Fasshauer got back and we went to our ward Christmas party. Pilar
came. There were invitations to Robinson and Philosiane and Julio, but they
didnt show up. It was a lot of fun, and we got to share the Church´s "A Savior
Has Been Born" video with the whole ward and invite them to share it with their
friends. Internet hasn't made it into all of the homes of the members in this
ward, but we know that some will be able to do it.

On Saturday we found some new people. We found Yiseña. She said that she
doesnt believe in Jesus Christ, but the Book of Mormon sounded interesting to
her. She doesnt believe in the Bible or in prophets, but she said she would read
to Book of Mormon to see what it has inside. I'm ok with that! I trust in that
book!
On Sunday, Pilar, Robinson, and Philosiane came to church, but Julio didnt
come! We got to teach Robinson that night. We taught him the 10 Commandments. We've been really working hard so Robinson could get baptized this change, but his boss has
him working a lot (because they really exploit immigrants here) so we haven´t
been able to teach him as much as we wanted. He is progressing well, and maybe
its better that he has more time to really savour what it is that we are
teaching him.
This morning, we went with Mauricio to go hunt tarantulas. It was a lot of
fun, and now we are going to have a bbq with the zone leaders because it is Elder Fasshauer´s last pday!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I know that what happened
2015 years ago is something that can change our lives today. I know Christ
lives. I know that because when people sing His name and of His birth, I feel
something different.
love,
Elder Williams
