¡Feliz Navidad!

HI Everyone!!!!
Well, i'm excited that Christmas is this week! I got band from the Mall!!! CRAZY! Well, more like the elders before me, would always go to the mall and it ruined it for the rest of us. But whatever! I shouldn't be going to the mall because I'm a poor missionary.
We had a baptismal date with Noe, but he wanted the Bishop to baptized him. But bishop left for Mexico and won't be back to after Christmas, so we had to postpone the date. And when we were going to make another date with him, he left for New Mexico to spend Christmas with his aunt. BLAH! All Ya'll know that I love New Mexico, but not when an investigator leaves for New Mexico. BLAH BLAH BLAH! Anyways, so we have to wait for him to come back to set another date. BLAH.
We found another lady name Yari. Yari speaks both English and Spanish. She took the lessons before in McAllen, Texas (in English). But she didn't like it because she was attending an English ward, which are usually large. She wants a small ward, the Spanish Ward is perfect because its not that big. She hasn't been home for the Holidays, but she said we could come visits her tomorrow, I think she will get baptized. She has a good foundation about the church.
Another family we visit is the Haranda family. There is the dad, mom, son, and daughter. They were taught by the Elders before and know we are teaching them. We reviewed the first lesson, God is our loving heavenly father, Prophets, the gospel of Jesus Christ, The Great Apostasy, and Joseph Smith. They had a good foundation of the first couple principles but they love the Joesph Smith story. It seems like they have a testimony of Joseph Smith and the importance of Joesph Smith. The problem that they have is that they cant come to church because Hno Haranada has to work on Sundays and he cant get the day off. But he is going to ask if he can get some time off on Sundays. Again, he doesn't have papers.
We found another lady namd Percilla. She has two kids and an “Esposo” (“Husband” aka boyfriend) and she said that she doesn't want us to change her religion. However, she does keep us inviting us back to her house. She loves our company. But what she doesn't know is that our doctrine is the only taught in our church. Her sister died a while ago, but she thinks her sister is going to hell, until we taught her the plan of salvation. She has more hope for life.
This week, our focus is on finding people and seeing if we can help them progress.
Well everyone, I hope that you remember the REAL meaning of Christmas and that only though the birth and sacrifice of Jesus Christ we have the ability to return back to live with our Heavenly Father along as we do the 5 step to return
1.Faith
2.Repentence
3.Baptism with the Authority from God
4.The Gift of the Holy Ghost
5.Endure to the End
I love you all and I hope that you have a great week and Christmas!!! :D
