The song Silent Night...in Spanish it is....... Night of Light; Night of Peace!

Gah! It was so fun talking to you. I love you all so much! Sorry I was all blubbery and weepy. My emotions were all over the place! You all look/sound so good. I miss just sitting around and chatting with you, BUT honestly I feel zero homesickness. I was talking with the Elderes and they were talking about how trunky they were. I cried for about 5 minutes after hanging up, and then everything went back to normal. We had to go help some sisters out, so it was back to business hahaa. I just feel that I have a lot to take care of here in Canoga Park so I can't be home!

Here is the transfer scoop. I AM STAYING! 5 transfers in Canoga Park! And my companion is leaving! And I was released as Sister Training Leader!  President called at 10:15 last night and said, "With great lament I am releasing you as a STL, but I am sure you are going to be one again..." Also me and my new companion (Hermana Henzi from Utah) are being moved to an english district meaning we are still spanish missionaries but our district consists of Korean and English missionaries. So there is still a district with all the rest of the spanish missionaries, but for some reason Presidente moved us out of it. I trust him though. I know there is something I am going to learn! You can never predict transfers. Never. Nunca. I am excited for what this transfer will bring. What 2016 will bring!?!

Christmas Day and Christmas Eve consisted of:

1. District meeting where we watched some Mormon Messages and exchanged gifts

2. Lunch with Hna G......and her two kids. We sang Christmas songs and ate lots of yummy food (no tamales though...)

3. We saw Hna M........ and chatted with her as she expressed some sadness about her mother's death and other family concerns.

4. We spent Christmas Eve night in our members salon. She needed some help getting some presents together and she feed us more yummy food (no tamales...)

5. Christmas day we ate with the C.......... Family (no tamales...) and decorated gingerbread houses with the M.......... family!

6. Then we skyped! Weehoo

Yesterday we ate tamales! It was about time :)

I had a small mental breakdown that my only Christmas on the mission has passed. Time is a crazy thing! I will never forget this Christmas. It didn't really feel like Christmas. Well not the Christmas I am used to with snow, finishing finals and being with family, etc...but it was a Christmas that was filled with Christ and service!

 As we were driving home Christmas Eve it was dark and the roads were empty but I felt so much peace. 
I felt the assurance that Christ lives. 
That I am where I am supposed to be. 
I was thinking of the the song Silent Night...in spanish it is Noche de Luz; Noche de paz.
 Night of light; Night of peace! 
Rejoice, smile, be happy, and share the good news: Christ was born! 
The light of the world came to bring peace to the world!


! I love you lots and lots, and I should have a lot more to report next week.

Can't wait for 2016! 2016 is going to be awzzzzome :) LOVE YOU!
