It's been a wonderful week! We're eating and teaching and just chugging along. I sent a few videos in emails, but this week my update is in some fun photos. 

BOWLING...Good Clean Fun

                                                 Bowling on PDay with the zone.

                                                          We finally got some snow!

It was Elder Marz's bday! The English Elders in our area made a cake with a match candle.. I made him French toast with a trick candle 😉

 My parents went to Hawaii to celebrate their 20th Anniversary and their friends 40th Birthday. So I decided to send them a photo of the closest I could get to something like Hawaii...

This is the closest thing I could find...Elder Shaw's Awesome outfit on the right and our native Hawaiian on the left. 🙂😋

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. It was so great to talk to my family. 💗

                           My mission plaque has moved back home to the 5th Ward Building

Dec. 26th

This week really was a blast and just an all around blessing. The Lord has blessed us so much and this season is one of His tender mercies. Families are brought together and friendships forged.It's been a wonderful week and I was able to speak with my family for the first time in over six months. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and very special new year! 🎄 There are 2 videos attached, the first is a Christmas message and the second is for humor.

New Friendships being built...Merry Christmas

Talked with my family for the first time in 6 Months! I sure Love them!

                                      

If you've ever watched Fear Factor you may enjoy the video. On the other hand, if you get queezy watching people eat eggs with chickens in them, you may want to skip watching this one! Sometimes meetings are full of fun!

                                     

                                             Sharing Christmas with Elder Marz

Dec.12th

Well a very merry Christmas to you all!! I'm super excited for this season and can't wait to share it with others. Oh by the way this is our awesome albino Christmas tree that we found in the closet!

Speaking of this awesome season one of our friends, Santos, decided to give his family the best gift possible and join them in the kingdom of the Lord through baptism. I'm so excited for him to be sealed to them in a year!

Our ward is a tender mercy of the season, they treat like family and love us just like their own 😊

Sunday marked the annual Fireside from the Spanish missionaries of New Jersey. It was an incredible experience and the spirit was super strong. I loved seeing a lot of the missionaries their and past companions who have really brought a light into the mission for me and for countless others.

I am very grateful for all of you and even more grateful for the Savior we have been given. He lives. He loves us and all we need to do is seek out the spirit. I know this is true with all my heart. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.🎄
