Hermana Bloxham - Another week!

Hola! Buenos días! Hey everybody!

Well, this has been a crazy week! On Saturday we had our mission
devotional for Christmas! The entire mission got together, all 261 of
us! Isn't that crazy!? We had a musical program and Sister Livingston
played the violin and Elder Hurst in my district sang and Sister Cole
was in the Choir and lots of other people haha. It was amazing! The
spirit was so strong and it really just felt like Christmas Day! It
was so good to see all of my old companions and friends from my old
districts! It was awesome! "Where two or three are gathered in my
name, there will I be in the midst of them"- (Matthew 18:20) I wonder
what it is like if there are 261 gathered in His name... Haha

Well, a little update on the investigators... Oriana and her daughter
Ariam are doing pretty well. We can't get them to come to church or
commit to a baptismal date because Oriana's husband, Vidal, isn't
ready yet. We really need him to start listening to the lessons in
order for the girls to progress! Will you guys please help us out and
send a few prayers for them? That would be amazing!

Adelita.. She's like pretty old and we don't know if she is
remembering what we have taught her or not haha. We'll have to see!
She is awesome! She needs to find a new job that she can work more
often because she can't pay the people she is living with right now...

I have learned so much humility from these people on my mission. It's
incredible that they truly have nothing and they still give everything
that they have to the missionaries! I hope that one day I can be like
them! I think that this is why I am serving the Hispanic culture on my
mission! They are so loving and giving and humble. They truly are as
little children, like in the scripture in Mosiah 3:19 that says "we
should become as little children, meek, humble , submissive, patient,
full of love, willing to submit to all things which The Lord seeth fit
to inflict upon him, even as a child doth summit unto his father."

I hope that we can all put off the natural man and become clean
through the atonement of Jesus Christ and become as little children. I
love you all so much and I am so thankful for all of your love and
support!

Love,

Hermana Jessica Bloxham :)
