However, two quick highlights of the week:
#1 Heading up to a small pueblo called Corrales, where we took a bunch of donated clothes, food, and other items to a small Catholic school where they help feed the homeless and needy. We were able to meet an 88 year-old nun that was VERY friendly with me, haha. She was a sweetheart.
#2 Learning how to make "panetone" with the stake patriarch, who is a seasoned veteran as a baker. Panetone is a type of fruitcake which is a favorite among the Peruvians around Christmastime. It was a blast, and the bread was pretty tasty. Im thinking of making panetone a Christmas tradition in my family in the coming years.
I cant believe it that the Christmas season is already here! It truly is the best and happiest time of the year, and for good reason. It is the time where the world is the most focused on our Savior. This morning we were able to watch the First Presidency Christmas devotional. I loved the challenge that Elder Stevenson gave us to find "an outward way to show our inward feelings and desires to love and serve Christ". Each one of us should ask ourselves what we are going to give Him as our gift of gratitude this Christmas season!
Avanza Su Verdad!
