It was amazing being able to skype with you on Christmas! I absolutely loved it! It was great seeing everyone and hearing your voice! It brought back so many great memories. After we skyped we went back and had a nice Christmas dinner. We made chicken, mashed potatoes, vegetables, fruit salad, pumpkin pie and cookies. It was quite the dinner!
Vili is amazing. She will be getting baptized on January 12th. We told her that she can decide what the program will look like for her baptism. She is so cute and has everything picked out with the hymns we will sing, who will give talks and the musical number. Every time we meet with her we try and have a member present in the lesson. All of the members love her and have grown a friendship with her.
Kiril is doing well. We had a good lesson with him. He is reading the Book of Mormon and is already in Helamen. He admitted to us that at first when he started meeting with us he was skeptical. However, as he has continued to come to meet with us and read the Book of Mormon he feels it is true. I asked him if he knew Joseph Smith was a true prophet. He wondered why I asked him that because we talked about the sabbath day. I told him that he needs to pray and really know for himself if Joseph Smith was a true prophet because then he would know that are church is the only true church with the authority of God. He said he would pray to know.
The holidays are great! However, it makes it a little more difficult when everyone is gone out of the city for the holidays! It will be nice for everything to be normal again. Here they celebrate New Year's as a bigger holiday than Christmas. It is absolutely crazy! Today there was absolutely no one on the streets. Nothing opens until at least one. Also, people dress up and walk around the streets with masks and wigs... it's very interesting.
If any of the stores open ... we will go do some grocery shopping and get some relaxing in... hopefully!
Well that's all I can think to say today. Thank you for everything. I love you all so very much. I miss you and appreciate your love and support. Happy New Year! Make 2013 amazing centered on becoming better disciples of Christ.
Love,
