Jack - December 24

Feliz Navidad a todos!
Espero que todos pasen una navidad llena de felicidad y amor y que podamos recordar a la parte mas importante, el nacimiento del Jesucristo.

Hey Everyone, this week has been pretty good. Today I`m a little bummed out because I had to run around ViƱa all morning to do a bunch of paperwork for my visa, on Christmas Eve. Oh well, at least along the way I ran into Elder C. It was so great to see him again hahaha, we had a good time remembering Quintero and joking around while we waited in line. Unfortunately I also received some bad news. It looks like Elder C will be going home this week, the church mission department thinks he`s not healthy enough to be in the mission. So that kind of stinks, since the beginning we`d known that he had a bunch of health problems, but he seemed to be doing really well. It`s ok,
24 But behold, all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.
(2 Nephi 2:24)

Anyways, we`re pretty excited this week, part of the family I mentioned last week are going to be baptized this friday! We`re so happy, hopefully everything goes well this week so that they can be baptized.

As a missionary, sometimes this time of year is even worse than usual, at a time when you would think that more people would be focused on Christ, less people have any interest in Him. This week we contacted a lot of people who rather rudely expressed that they didn`t have time. It`s kind of sad, but it makes sense in a way, at the time of the birth of Christ nobody had room or time for Him either, and so, He was born in a manger. I`d like everyone to consider the importance of Christ`s birth in our lives, and what we are doing to celebrate it, and I hope that everyone makes more time and place in their lives to consider the birth of our Savior.  

Merry Christmas
Elder Blaylock
This week we also had a Christmas activity with a couple of other zones 
Elder G is almost done his mission! :( Time flies.
