Hey there Everybody!
Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad! ^_^
May we always remember this time of year and why we really celebrate! We celebrate it to remember our Lord, Jesus Christ and his birth, and all of the things that he has done for us! It is sad to see how so many people in the world get lost in the gifts that stores have to offer, when our Heavenly Father offered his only begotten son as our Saviour, and Christ accepted the will of his father to take upon him the sins of the world and to die for us. What greater blessing for us to remember that we can always repent of our sins so that one day we can return to live with our Heavenly Father and with our families forever! ^_^ Don´t forget why we celebrate Christmas! Don´t take the CHRIST out of CHRISTMAS!
This past week went by so fast! We had our Mission Christmas Devotional and we had it up in the north part of the mission, up in Talcahuano, so I was able to see Elder Hughes again! He´s having it a little rough, his comp isn´t so great and his comp has been making working really hard... and his grandma died, so he was a little sad. But I trained him well and I know he´ll be able to pull through and he´ll be a-okay!
So the work in our sector is slowly growing, line upon line, and precept upon precept. Even though we had less time to be able to work this past week, we were able to do more work that the past 2 weeks. We are seeing a lot of mini miracles and we feel so blessed. We were able to give a couple of blessings to the sick in our ward, and in one ocasion, I was able to bless two little kids... and right after I finished giving the blessings, they fell right asleep. Maybe I just have a soothing voice? :P haha! This week we also came across a couple of challenges. Almost all of the appointments we had with our investigators, they had to cancel it last moment, so we went to our back up plans and they weren´t their either, so we had the privilage to be guided by the spirit to do exactly what we needed to do in that moment. We are slowly aquiring more people to teach, which is a super huge blessing because we don´t have many investigators at all in our sector. But we are getting blessed, what more could we ask for? BAPTIZMS!!! But that will come with time and with all the work we are doing now to prepare the way ^_^
So how was the end of the world? For me it went quite well! It seemed like a normal day to me! Haha, It was funny and kinda sad to see how people were acting, even some of the members, but whatever, one day Christ will come again, so we just need to be prepared! ^_^ So that was my week, I love you all so much, the work is getting better here in the subburb of Los Angeles, Chile. I hope you are all well and that you have a very merry Christmas! My last Christmas in the mission... so weird! Take care everyone!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Scott Garrett
