Christmas in Carlos Antonio Lopez literally barely exists. It is very sad.. The only christmas tree is made out of paper and is hanging in my kitchen, taped to the wall. There are no christmas carolers, and i really doubt that well get much snow.. but ill keep my fingers crossed.
But it just means that I get to focus on Christ!!
So speaking of miracles, we were going to take a but into encarnacion, 8 hours away. But it didnt come. Then it rained. So we were stuck in Lopez for much longer than we thought we would be. We called a guy with a truck, to hire him to drive us 2 hours to the nearest asphalt road so we could catch a bus. And he told us he could leave in 3 hours. So we had some time to spare. We contacted 3 houses. Were accepted in all 3, and found some of the most promising investigators on this side of the parana river! it was stunning ! 2 of them came to church on Sunday, and they both LOVED IT!! so much!! And the third didnt come because it rained... But IS reading the book of mormon, and likes it, AND accepted a baptismal date with flying colors.
They really enjoy the doctrine the church teaches, bisecuase its true and comes directly from God. It was SO nice to finally see some progression in some investigators after a couple week draught.
We spent 3 days in Encarnacion for our Christmas Devotional, so we didnt really work a ton, but it was very nice to relax, and spend time with the couple zones that were at the devotional.
I love the christmas season, and i miss the snow very much. someone should wathc the HE Is the Gift video fromt he church, because i havent yet. But i know it exists. I hear its pretty good.
