TAMALES FOR CHRISTMAS, AND LOTS OF THEM!


HOLA!!

Guatemala is great as usual!! My hija is so great and i love being able to train her. I am learning so much with her!!! 
Well, I hope we all remember who Carmen is. Her younger brother Pablo is getting baptised on saturday! I am so grateful for the experience! He had been asking for his own Book of Mormon and we gave him one on wednesday. We had put a goal for a baptism date as the 13th, but he said he needed to think about it. On Friday we had another cita and he had already read a lot of 1 Nephi, all the intro, and other things. He said he wanted to be baptised on the 13th!!! The Book of Mormon truly made the difference. Our Heavenly Father saved this book for this time so we can know that this gospel was truly restored for this day. The Book of Mormon is like a cake. How can we know that the cake is delicious if we dont try it? but we also dont need to eat all the cake to know its delicious. Its like the book of mormon. WE dont need to read all of it to know its true. Just a little bit of it. The Spirit will tell you through your spirit and feelings that it is true. I love the Book of Mormon and I decided to start reading it from the beginning. The day after that Pablo started too also. Hes so great!! His brother Carlos too also wants to be baptised. They come to church and love it!!! Im so blessed to have them in my life!! All because i sat in some puke in a packed bus with a giant cake, I have the blessing to see their life change through this gospel. 
ALSO, since Christmas is approaching I would like to share this video that really is amazing. 
its important to rmember that the real reason for Christmas is the Birth of Jesus Christ. He is our Savior and Redeemer. He suffered for each and every one of us. 

Have a great week!!! 
Love, 
Hermana Thompson
