It´s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, minus the snow, and the lights, and the songs, and a few other things haha. But it´s all good! I can´t believe that Christmas is already here! It has come so fast! Our lessons have been more directed towards Christmas lately though and I love it! We´ve had some super spiritual lessons!
This week was a pretty good week though! We had changes Wednesday which were pretty interesting. Betanco left which we all figured would happen, ha he went to this place called Bocas del Toro which is basically the furthest zone in the mission, and it takes like 14 hours to get there or something like that haha. Elder Mahina and I both stayed in the area, but we both got new comps too! Elder Mahina is training again; his new comp is Elder Macanche from Nicaragua, he´s a pretty cool guy but really quiet. My new comp is Elder Wade from Oklahoma. It was pretty funny when we found out who my comp was because Elder Wade lived in the house next to us when I was in Arraijan so I got to know him super good there so we´re already really good friends. I was really excited about that! But the other funny thing is Elder Wade and Elder Mahina were comps in the MTC so they knew each other super good as well. So needless to say we have a really good time because Mahina and Mecanche are still living with us because they haven´t found a house in their area yet. It´s cramped in our small house but we make it work.
So the other night we were out contacting and we started talking with this guy. He said he didn´t know a lot about the church but had a lot of questions about it so we were like hey this is kind of cool. Ha well after talking to him for a while he started quoting like a ton of scriptures and we came to find out that he´s actually a preacher of another religion and he knew a ton about our church. Ha he´d read like all the pamphlets, knew about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and a bunch of other things. Ha he didn´t want to know more about the church he just wanted to try and find falsehoods about our church. We talked for a little bit longer and at the end we bore our testimonies about the church, the spirit was so strong as we did so, I’m pretty sure he could feel it as well. We´ll see if we go back and talk to him again.
Tomorrow we have a Christmas activity with another zone which should be pretty fun so I’m excited about that.
Well I hope everyone has a merry Christmas! Thank you all for everything
Elder Westwood
