Christmas Miracles

Happy almost New Year!!

First and foremost, I have another birthday shout-out to my hermanito Kyle!! Wow, 21. I can´t believe it!! FELIZ CUMPLE!!! Don´t drink too much sparkling cider. ;)

Holy cow, Christmas has come and gone. It didn´t feel like Christmas at all, thanks to all the hot and the humidity, but we still had a good lil Christmas here! For Noche Buena we had a BBQ with Dorisu´s family. Asada, chicken, sausage, potatoes, salad. SO MUCH FOOD. Here they don´t usually eat until midnight to celebrate Christmas and then they have fireworks and party all night and then sleep all the next day. This family was kind enough to eat early so we could be in the house by 9:30 and in bed by 10:30. Yeah, party animals!

And it looks like we had a white Christmas afterall, and not the kind with snow... Yeah, that´s right, NICO GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! :D :D :D And he was just so happy. We had our own little Christmas miracle with him. He told us on Tuesday that his family had changed their minds and decided to support him, that if this was something he wanted to do, then he should do it. He told us he knows that through prayer and fasting miracles can happen. And he was SO excited about his baptism. We had it after church but he said that he didn´t really sleep the night before because he didn´t want to miss it! This kid. He is so happy and so willing to follow the Savior and he is being richly blessed because of it. LOVE IT!

Oh fam, it was so good to see you! Thanks for all your love and support. I couldn´t be doing this without you! ¡¡Feliz año!! Have fun ringing in the New Year! We´ll be in bed by 10:30 like normal, haha.

Con mucho amor,
