Apparently I Was Fat?

YOOOOOOOO, what is popping everybody? I love y'all so much, and I am so grateful for everything y'all do. Truly, I've got the best family and friends out there. I love you guys so much! Can you believe it is Christmas time? Like not that many days until the big day is here.

My P-day today is short because we have Christmas Conference this week. But it's always a joy to write an email and express some feelings I have come to acquire while being a missionary.

Our friend Abel is back on date!! I had the impression to call him a couple of days ago and invite him to be baptized on the 30th. He said he wants to, and we are excited to work with him!!! I have grown to truly love this guy, and I am so excited for him to receive these blessings!

My dawg Elder Nielsen is in the ward now. He was my MTC comp, and I'm hyped to be around him again.

We had the ward Christmas party this week!! We had a couple of friends come, and as well, our recent convert Gabriel pulled up!! It was good to see him at the church again! While at the party, one of the Hermanas said I was looking skinny. My self-esteem was so high that night.

We ate dinner at said Hermanas house last night... turns out she thought I was a little chunky when I got to the area. So now we know that she was just shocked that I've been on the grind! But she's the sweetest and made us some really good food for dinner.

On Monday night, we had the chance to go learn how to cook chile rellenos with a few members! It was so fun, and I loved how they are all so kind and funny with each other. The power of the gospel over our lifetimes is noticeable. If you cannot see the change now, you will in the future.

GOD LOVES US. I have no doubt in my mind. This week as I've been studying the atonement and Jesus Christ, I have received another witness of the amazing love our father in heaven has for us. He shows us in so many different ways!! I challenge you all to reflect and see in what ways God shows you love. Send me an email with what you've found out.

I love you all. I am trying to respond to emails quickly, I promise!! I will get to them all eventually, just know I love and pray for you all daily. Our Heavenly Father loves us. He loves you. He knows your pains, and His son Jesus Christ has made all the difference. TRUST. IN. HIM.

Also, go watch the Christ child.
