Merry Christmas - Sister Pack (12/24/12 Letter)

Hello Family and Friends,

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  Pools where ever you go... mosquitoes eating you alive. Dere in all the corners of the streets. The air a blasting high. The missionaries topped with their sombreros. yep that is Christmas  lol.

This week has been crazy!

We had a good time with the baptism of Roberto. I swear there is no such thing as a free baptism with Satan. We were trying to find him all Thursday with our zone leader to do his interview... after on Friday it rained all day..... well the morning and afternoon.  And when it rains here in Argentina, no one leaves.  During this rain also the bomba for the pool of baptism broke... to take out the water and yep... we had to take out the water by hand, but I am going to ruin a whole story for the call home.  Ask me about it and I'll tell you but you have to remind me!

It's amazing that most of you are feeling cold weather while I am getting sun burnt everyday. Seriously it is so hot! Also mom I received your package like a few weeks ago and have been using the dress the last few weeks! ITS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you. I get lots and lots of complements, so if you want to send one more... jkjk.

Here in Argentina the people celebrate way different.  Tonight we will have a dinner and after they will do lots of fireworks till 1 o´clock. Then sleep all of Christmas.  It's so funny and different than ours but I am grateful I get to experience a different type of Christmas.

So this week I just wanted to share a quick scripture from John 3:16.  "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that all that believe in Him can have eternal life." This has been our message for the last week to all. It says that God GAVE meaning it was a present. I am so grateful for this present and grateful that Jesus Christ gave His life so I can grow and get better and that I can enter the kingdom of God. I have decided what my gift to God and Jesus Christ in return.  I hope all stop for one moment to think about what they can give to our Father in Heaven and Christ for all they do for us.

I know this is the church that Jesus Christ guides. I know that is what brings happiness, without a doubt. I know families can be eternal.

Love you all. Hermana pack
