Well I hope you all had the best Christmas ever this year! I don't have too much to say being as I just talked to everyone 2 days ago. But here I go anyway! So this past week was very good and filled of Christmas cheer, this week we spent one of our nights caroling with the elders in our district so some members in our area it was really fun, from having dogs attacking us to singing the wrong tune to a song, to just being able to make peoples days.
We also rode our bikes last week, and that was fun! At one point we felt like a biker gang because their were tons of bikers near us going a long with us, it was funny! it was a good experience! Biking days are always soo funny!
We also got a new investigator this week Her name is Maritza, and she is really awesome! She has problems with Joseph Smith, but she is ready to listen, I feel like we will definitely be getting baptismal dates this week, so it's really exciting! We also still have Nery and Estela, who are doing as good as ever, they even came to a noche de hogar with us at a less-actives house yesterday!
Our Christmas Eve was great! However everyone wanted to feed us, but it was fun, we felt a part of a family everywhere we went! Then on Christmas the elders had a baptism and we went, and my companion who only kind of knows how to play the piano, played anyway because they asked her too, I was so proud of her, and felt bad that I didn't take piano lessons more seriously!
Yup, so that was our week, and on new years eve we will be getting transfer calls and will be having transfers on Monday, so we'll see what happens for the new year.
Happy New years!!!

Merry Christmas!!.... Almost!!
Hello all!
Well this week was an eventful one, this past Tuesday we had interviews with the President, and boy President Becerra is so cool, such an inspired man it went well, I was interviewed first of my companions and then by the time Sister Taylor who was last came out, he had told her that we are the happiest trio in the history of the mission! That made me feel so privileged and awesome to be able to be a part of that, so pretty much we are really lucky, it's amazing how well we get along because we are all so very different, but we have the same goal in mind! Also a new missionary came this week to our district, it's the middle of a transfer, so it was really random, but he has been here before once I guess and now he's back, and the elder training him found out the day before that he was coming, so that was different.
Also we had our like 8 hour talent show on Wednesday, it was a nice break, but very long, our district did the EFY medley in Spanish, and being the procrastinators we are we only practiced once with the piano right before the show started. The funny part is me and my companions practiced a lot on our own, and the elders did not, however, when we did it we messed up and the elders did awesome, so that was way funny! Also my companions and I did this dance with a bunch of the English missionaries, and it was random and embarrassing, but there were a lot of weirder talents so I don't feel too bad about it.
We had a very cultural experience at our ward Christmas party this past week, the Hermanas in the Relief Society did some dances, one was about these old men or something with creepy masks on, they also told jokes that made no sense, because we don't know Spanish that well, but it was fun anyway.
That's the exciting things going on in the mission life right now, it's fun, I love the mission more and more everyday, that I get to go out and tell people that I know that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, that our Heavenly Father knows and loves each of us, That we have a prophet on the earth today, That the Book of Mormon is true. I love that we can tell them that we know the way back to God! This is something so special to me, and I am grateful for the chance I have to be here helping people to know what we all know!
I love you all! I hope you have a merry Christmas and I'll be talking to you next week Family!
Love, Hermana Love

My 2nd Exchanges!
well this week was a good one, we had quite a few lessons this week, the main one was with a less-active, we invited him to a tour of the church, because he has been less-active for a REALLY LONG time so we decided to take him on the tour, and during the tour he opened up to us to why he isn't coming, because he doesn't remember it anymore and he spends time with his family. It went really well even though he didn't come to church, but the tour was a big step for him.
We also have been trying as a district to get our ward more unified, because they currently are not, but we are helping them to get that way, I'm really excited for that to change!
Probably the most eventful time this week was exchanges, we had exchanges on Saturday and that was really fun! Hermana Taylor went to Chino with Hermana Cruz (my MTC companion) and then her companion Hermana Brown (who has only been here 3 weeks came with me and Hermana Mulitalo. I drove for the day, and since I usually don't drive funny things happened including getting semi-lost, and the big thing is we came home for Lunch and well we walked out the door, and I had locked it, and just as I shut the door I realized the keys were on my desk, luckily this has happened before, so we opened the window and climbed through and got the keys. That was lucky! We also got to go to a Christmas concert at the stake center, It was really good, and made it sort of feel like Christmas, so that was way cool! It was a way fun exchange and a good learning experience!
This week we have President interviews this week, and the missionary Christmas talent show party, no one signed up to begin with so then President said he wanted everyone to be in it, so our district decided we would do it together and we'll be singing the EFY medley in Spanish, I don't know how it will go we just threw it together, but I'm excited to see the talents of the other missionaries. I'll let you know how it goes!
Well that's pretty much it! Hope all is well! and your enjoying all the snow back home, we just get rain!
Love, Hermana Love
