Service and Santa
¡Buenas Dias!
Pretty busy and fast week here in La Dalia! We have been working hard to help our investigators/friends (people who we are teaching) progress and draw closer to the savior. One of the coolest parts about this week was that we got to do a lot of different type of service. We washed dishes, dug ditches, picked coffee, cut down trees and weeds, washed a dog, butchered chickens (for dinner for one of investigators), sorted tomatoes, and right now we are in the process of rebuilding one of the houses of a family we are teaching! We passed by to share a message with them we found the dad was demolishing the back part of the house, so I quickly put my skills I learned from Chip Gaines from Fixer Upper to work and jumped in to help haha. We were able to take out all of the dirt and tin walls and put in the wood posts for the new part of the house. I'm so excited to come back and I hooe we can finish it all by Christmas. I like service so much because it's a way to show the love of christ to others and it puts a smile on the faces of others.
This next week is going to be pretty busy as well as we get closer to Christmas. The branch president appointed me to plan the branch Christmas party this Saturday so we are going to be working hard to invite as many people as we can to attend and the plan the agenda! The branch leaders also appointed me to be the Santa as well (like father like son I guess haha). I'm not exactly sure what Nicaraguan Santa looks like, but it's gonna be an adventure thrifting a homeade santa suit/beard and eating 30lbs of Gallo Pinto to be ready for Saturday. I am excited to share the pics with you guys next week and I hope it all goes well. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas!

Galatians 5:13-14
"For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

- We put together some fun activities for the ward this week (English Class and ward Movie night) and we had a lot of success! Our English Class grows a bit more each week and I'm excited to see it keep getting bigger.
- Construction on the house
- Divisions with Elder Rivas
- My Nicaraguan breakfast: I made a Plantain Turkey sandwich
- Other pics of La Dalia, etc
