New Companion!

So my new companion is Elder Grosh, he is from Danville, California and is a convert to the church. We found out that he has already finished training.... so we do not know what happened there haha either way it has been interesting adjusting but all is well :) This past week we have been working really hard on sharing that Christ is the gift and on doing that in different ways. Something that I  have just realized is that the normal routines of Christmas can help us discover Christ. You have a present under the tree, and you have no idea what it is but you open it and you now know what you have been given. But do you know how to use it? It comes with instructions and you spend time with it to better understand it.

Christ is a gift that we take for granted so much. We are told of him and what he did for us. Do we really know him though? Do we really know how to use him? That is what the scriptures are for, pray, fasting, church. We open the scriptures and read about him and he was like. Now we need to embrace him.

" For God so loved the world, that he gave His only Begotten son. That whosoever should believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" ( John 3:16). We know the destination. Eternal Life. How do we get help? Through His only Begotten Son. How do we get that help? By BELIEVING in him. Believing is having faith and faith is acting. Discover the Gift. Embrace the Gift and Share the Gift.

 This week 2 complete strangers have let us in and talk to them. One was a Jehovah's Witness and the other was christian. We were able to share the Restoration and the He is the Gift video with him, and only the video with the other. As well this week i met the 1st person who has seen the video without us having to show him. That was cool :) I love y'all and espero que tengan una buena semana y Feliz Navidad !!!!!
