Shake up the Happiness! December 21, 2015

Oh man I love Christmas time! But it is soo wierd, it has been so warm! And I have no idea why! haha last year I was dying of coldness. So who knows. But it is still cool to have Christmas in Mexico, I sure do love it. So I am so excited for Jordan and Makayla! Its crazy! The last time I saw Jordan, he was digging holes and bike ramps, and now he is a FATHER!!! Life comes at ya too fast... Haha But how exciting. And the cruise you guys went on sounds like it was a blast. How fun! Haha. So the news for this week is that there were transfers, but we stayed the same!!! Crazy huh! It is the first time that I have stayed with someone for 3 changes! Haha I hope it will be good! Also another zone opened in the mission! Nuevo Laredos! I wanted to go because it is on the boarder and I wanted to make friends with the Narcos! Or the Drug Cartel but I got to stay. BUT!!! They shut the other area in our ward. So now our area is huge! And Our mission leader lent us his bikes! Cool beans no? So we are working and we found a bunch of families this week! which we took to church yesterday, and they loved it. I also had to give a last minute talk which was AWESOME! And my comp had to give a last minute talk and a class! Haha I love it. But the mission is good. I am so excited to talk to you guys on christmas. Just tell me what hour is good for all of you and I will be able to do it. :) Sounds good? Ok great. Now there was a neat quote that my mission president told us. And it helped. :) I would like to share it. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt Stumbling isn`t bad! Haha :) that makes me happy! We just need enthusiasm! Nothing more! P.S I am going to be an announcer in the Mission Christmas party and I have a SAWEET ELF Costume. :) Haha Love ya guys!
