Hello!! I hope
you all had a great week :) Here’s what I’ve been up to:
☆☆☆☆☆
Temple trip
♡
Our friends Francisco and Gabriel got to go to the temple for the first time!!
They are the sweetest brothers ever. They have had the strongest desire to go
to the temple for a while, but their work schedule has been difficult to work
around as they get up pretty early and return home really late. We were able to
get a hold of the temple presidency, and we got the temple baptistry to open up
earlier than normal for our friends to go!! They had a BLAST! It made me so
happy to see them experience the joy of serving our ancestors and loved ones in
the temple :) The temple is the best. And the coolest part for them was getting
to do everything in Spanish, the language of their heart and home!
Wendy’s
baptism
♡ Sweet Wendy got baptized!! This was such a beautiful day. On her journey towards baptism she was able to overcome a very long battle with a nicotine addiction and grew so much as a person and a daughter of God! So proud of her :) It has grown my faith to see how when we choose to take the first step of faith in Jesus Christ even when it seems like we’ll never be able to climb the mountains in our life, He helps us up the rest of the way- just like He did with Wendy! I got to sing the hymn Dearest Children God is Near You with my fave Sister Park during the service. Her awesome comp Sister Malo played the bass. I felt so honored to be there for Wendy on this special day!

Guadelupe’s
baptism
♡
So quick side note, we found out that his name is actually Jose. Guadelupe is
his middle name lol but anyways his baptism was incredible! His cute wife as
well as his sister and two of his sons were able to be at his baptism! It was
so great to see that family come together and support him. Families are such an
important part of God’s plan, and I am so grateful for the
knowledge that families can be eternal! The Spirit was so strong during
Guadelupe's baptism. He totally cried haha he’s the
best! (I cried too lol) We got to facetime call my old companions (Hnas. Nacey
and Fultz) that had been teaching him and had them watch the service with us so
that was really special! God is in the details.
Ward Christmas party
♡
The Alta Vista ward knows how to party that’s for
sure!! We had christmas music playing SOO loud (and all in english which was
funny because most people couldn’t understand it
but the person in charge of music was a native spanish speaker too so I’m not sure why he chose that, and at one point it switched off
the christmas station to some current pop station but none of our member
friends realized that it wasn't christmas music so we had to go tell the guy in
charge lol. Let’s just say it wasn’t super family church party friendly for a second there haha!)
It was super fun to talk to all the ward members and get to know them better,
plus we had a lot of our friends and the St. Joseph elders friends show up!!
New companions
♡
I love Hermana Palenske and Hermana Petersen!! They’re
actually the funniest people to ever be companions and when all three of us are
together it’s always an adventure haha! I’ll attach a pic…I’m basically the luckiest Hermana ever, I’ve been
blessed to serve with some amazing missionaries! Shout out Hermana Fultz and
Hermana Nacey, they’re off spreading the love and hope of
the gospel of Jesus Christ in new areas now! I totally miss them but I am SO
PROUD of them. I know God has a plan for His missionaries, and for all of His
Children!!
Zone conference
♡
ZOCO was so epic per usual, it was all Christmas themed/focused this transfer
and that just made it even better lol. I LOVE Christmas and even more, I love
my Savior Jesus Christ, the true reason for the season!! I sang Silent Night
with Sister Park and Sister Malo played the bass again, plus cutie Sister
Hansen accompanied us on the piano! I sang my verse in spanish and I was so
nervous haha but God listens and answers our prayers so I was able to make it
through the whole performance without passing out from nerves haha! We heard
some great messages about missionary work and about our Savior. I got to see my
bestie friend Sister Purcell! We sang Christmas songs, and learned about how we
can be better disciples of Jesus Christ. Also we got to make gingerbread houses
lol so overall a great conference!!
Spiritual thought!!
♡
This email is already really long so I’ll make this
short haha! This week is CHRISTMAS!! This is your official invitation to
remember the reason we celebrate this wonderful holiday. Jesus Christ was born
for you and for me! He came to provide peace and healing to a hurting world. He
died on the cross and then rose again, and by doing so, He overcame death and
sin. Because of Jesus Christ, there is always hope! Jesus lives! He loves you!

I hope you all
have a Merry Christmas!! :)
All my love,
Hermana Adams🎕
