Hola! Feliz Año! For New Years we all had to stay in our casas since it gets a little dangerous out in the streets. So we were confined to our little apartment from 6-midnight! ha but we made the most of it. We planned out a really fun dinner, with "completos" which is basically your glorified hot dogs (which everyone needs to try! I absolutely love completos! just make a regular hot dog and put mayo and guacomole and tomatoes and mustard on it.... sounds gross but just try it! Everyone in Chile loves it) with homemade brownies and cute drinks with sugar on the rim! ha we got to stay up tillmidnight, danced to Disney music and then went to bed. Año Nuevo here is bigger then Christmas, which also means new years day is a little dangerous to be out and about as well, so we all had to stay in our chapel with our whole district for the whole day. It ended up being a lot of fun, we just played games, at food and watch Dispicable Me in spanish.
These last few weeks I haven't really felt like we have done a ton of work because of all of the holidays and what not. So I'm excited to get back to work and rededicate myself! I have a couple of New Years Resolutions that I want to share with all of you so that you can help me hold to them!
1. Come to know Christ. I want to know Him better then I know him. Which is more then just knowing about Him. In the Book of Mormon it is said over and over again plain and simple, that if we just have enough faith and act on that faith, having NO FEAR or doubts, that he will literally show us miracles. I want to come to know Him better then I know Him. I want to be more like Him.
2. Don't get fat. This is going to be a rough one. The food here is SUPER RICO! Every meal. I haven't had a meal that I didn't like. And our only time to excersise is in the mornings. (Which I could be better at utilizing.) So please. Hold me to it.
3. I want to read the Book of Mormon every cambio. Which is about every 6 weeks. I just finished it and it took me a little less then 5 so I feel that it is a totally do-able goal!
4. Never deny a prompting from the Holy Ghost. This year I want to be so intuned with the Spirit so that I can help my Heavenly Father in anyway possible! I want to be an "instrument in His hands"
I hope you all had a wonderful New Years as well!
I love and miss you all!!
Ciao!
Hermana Lamb!
