Well, they made it down the isle. That was a
relief. Now we have to finish all the lessons so Tatiana (the bride) can
get baptized. We spent all morning Friday getting things ready, then all
day at their wedding/party, which was a dance, and once again, we can`t dance
:( But it was good, we got food and that`s the number one thing you look
forward to as a missionary, just kidding, maybe it`s baptisms, but food is
right up there. Other than that, we had another meeting with our misión
president, which was awesome, as usual. My comp celebrated her 1 year
mark. And I was sick in bed all day yesterday, but was able to get up to
go to the christmas devotional. So not a whole lot happened this
week. Hopefully I`ll have more to report next week. Everyone should
watch the video "He is the Gift" At least I asume that`s what`s
it`s called...I only have it in Spanish. Have a great week!
Enjoying the food...looks pretty good.
I sent a package to Jenna a couple of weeks ago with a missionary momma from FL. She sent out a picture of the packages sitting on the mission office counter. I told Jenna that the package with there. I had also asked about THE Christmas Call, and about the church's Christmas video. This is the response in a different email. I had also mentioned a senior couple that I had heard about from other mom's that have kids in her mission.
Who sent you a picture of the package? I sure hope you
get that package from Hna. Hyer before christmas. And my old misión
leader and his wife are going through the temple, and I met Hna. Dickson and
she told me that. It was fun to finally meet them. They were in
Chancay and the branch there talks about them a lot. For Christmas
we get to skype for 30 minutes so, I will tell you more when I know more. And
the "first gift" is a world wide thing. All the missionaries
have seen it and gotten cards to pass out with a picture and a link to go in and
watch the video. The church is spending a lot of money on it, so we are
working to share it with everyone we can. And we did get to watch the
devotional. It was in the stake center, which is a normal stake
center. Our chapel is rented, they are looking for land to build a
meetinghouse.
We did get the package she had sent home with Hermana Hyer. There were darling hats for Ember and Auvryn, and tiny bracelets for Quinn and Ely, and a wonderful Peruvian nativity to set on our Nativity Shelf.
My son, Elder Bergquist is serving in the SAME area!!!! It was fun to read her blog!
