Buenos dias! Hola a todos! Espero que tuvieron una navidad especial, y que aprendieron mucho del amor de Jesucristo. Para mi, no estudie tanto como debería, pero lo que estudié, aprendí más que las circunstancias del nacimiento de Jesucristo. He sentido su amor para todos, tambien. Puedo ver él en las caras de las personas que enseñamos, y en los milagritos durante la semana. I'll keep this one short[er]. Take this extra time to go genuinely tell the first person that comes to mind what benefit they provide for you! This week I focused on recognizing the little miracles, and i saw a lot. When you look, and attribute good things to God, you see them more and more. I always thought it wss a little goofy when i was asked "how did you see the hand of god today?" Because I wasnt looking. But now that I'm looking, He is in the smallest details! Just a few: We couldn't find anyone who could give our friend a ride to church, until the morning of. Elder Keller and I both p...

Merry Christmas!! I've officially hit 100 days! (Thanks to E. Gabbitas for keeping track). I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but the weeks are just flying by. Day to day is quick, but i feel like I've been in Walla Walla for super long. I feel like I've been here for a few months more than I actually have. It's the Christmas season! This has given us some great opportunities to share LightTheWorld.org, encouraging people to do some little bits of good to spread the love of Jesus Christ. The winters here mean a lot of fog and overcast skies. We havent seen the sun for longer than an hour in weeks. I miss the sun. We did get our first snow, though!  We've seen a bunch of little miracles these last few week. Before every contact we pray and ask God, so one day, Elder Keller named 4 streets we could go to, and at the end of the prayer, we both said out loud "willow" (street). We went to the street and got a few people close the doors on us, but...

Hello World! [TL;DR Not a lot happened since my last email, so this is just a little glimpse of something I learned about kindness] The power of gratitude and service is this week's theme. You cannot know the impact you have on someone just by showing that you care. It was cold and dark outside, and we weren't expecting much to come from a set of doors we were knocking. One of these, a man opened up, and just invited us in to talk for a couple minutes. Just to show that he appreciated what we were doing. We shared a little Light the World information, anf then headed out. That stuck with me though. He wasn't interested in our message, but he was interested in our well being. Another lady was in line with us at Dairy Queen. My comp said "you can go ahead of us" then she handed each of us $10 for the meal. When we told her thanks so much, but thta we couldn't accept it, she insisted "yes you can", and walked past. She had no incentive to do that, but s...
