December!!!

Hey yall!

Happy December!!! It does not feel like December here. It keeps getting hotter and the hotter it gets the more clothes the Uruguayans take off. Hahaha. 

Uruguay played in the World Cup on Friday. While me and my companion were walking in the streets to get lunch, nobody was out and we could hear the game from the houses. As we were walking we all of the sudden heard "goooaaalll" and people celebrating. Uruguay scored, hahaha! Then, when we got to the house of our lunch, we watched the game for a minute and Uruguay scored again. It was so exciting! Sadly, Uruguay did not advance even though they won. 

Our friend, Sophie, is getting baptized on Saturday! She is 12 years old. Her mom, Ana, is a member that recently started coming back to church. Sunday was a special day because Ana came to church with three of her kids. Ana bore her testimony about how she was so happy to have her kids at church with her and how she has seen blessings in her family as she has started coming back to church.

Also, I heard the song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift when we were in a store...highlight of my week! 

I love the Christmas season because it is a season of love, kindness, and happiness. We can be a light to those in need this Christmas season if we let Him who is the light of the world be our focus. We can spread the joy of the true meaning of Christmas! The Light the World campaign started this week! Check out this link for ideas on how you can share your light!
