Thank you to everyone who sent me packages/letters for Christmas:) I love you all! you made me smile! It means a lot! How was Christmas for all of you? I bet none of you milked a goat!! haha I DID!
Christmas eve was super fun too! We had a mission conference up in Tucson, drove back to willcox, got picked up for dinner, and went out to the Bull's ranch where we had a nativity with all their kids, a white elephant exchange, and santa came!! :)
Friday morning we found out that one of our investigators got picked up by border patrol. So we raced out to his house to see if his wife was ok. when she answered the door, We asked if she knew where her husband was, and she replied( In Spanish) " Yeah of course! He's at work!"... She had no idea that he had gotten arrested. It was so sad having to be the bearer of bad news. that was definitely one of the saddest moments of my mission.
Saturday was a little better day. We were in a lesson with Rodger ( Our recent convert), and his step son came rolling in the room(he's in a wheelchair) and started asking a ton of questions. We answered them, gave him a book of Mormon. and invited him to church. He said he'd be there!
He was! and he participated in class and seemed very interested!! he invited us to dinner this coming Friday!
I can testify that the Lord really does prepare people. I've seen it multiple times on my mission so far. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve. There's no where else I'd rather be. There are times when I want to quit and come home. but I know that there are people here that need my help, and help them I shall. Thank you all for the support. I love you so much. -Elder Taylor Alston
