Okay I have too much to write and too little of time but here are some fun highlights.

First of all today we had our mission Christmas activity. Today was basically our Christmas because on Christmas day we are working like normal. It was literally so fun and it made me so happy!!! We even had a real Christmas dinner complete with turkey and mashed potatoes! That was a happy suprise. Also, we got to watch a movie! We ended up watching the Maze Runner. It was super good. I forgot how much I like watching movies! Also there was a talent show and a musical program. It literally made me so happy. I got to see all my missionary friends that are in other zones so that was a bonus too. Hermana Corzantes was there too. Hanging out with a ton of missionaries is so wonderful and fun. I really do love Christmas. During the spiritual part the spirit was so strong. It was so good for me to remind me that even though I am away from all of you right now, it is such a blessing that I get to spend this Christmas here serving the people of Nicaragua and the Lord. One of the missionaries in her testimony said that Christ is walking the streets with us. I really love that a lot.

Also, I´m even more excited to talk with you guys! I think our plan is to call home on the 25th at about 1 o clock Nicaragua time.

Fun fact, here the 24th is bigger than the 25th.

On friday we had divisions with the sister training leaders from all of Managua. I was with Hermana Urizar. She is so great and I learned so much.

We went Christmas Caroling with the youth this week and while we were singing the first Noel I just couldn´t stop thinking about when the wise men saw the star and what hope and happiness they must have felt. The son of God, Christ was born. Through his atonement we can repent, we can get better bit by bit. We can live with our families again after this life. Death isn´t the end. How grateful I am for that. I know that he is my savior. He came into the world so humbly and had a marvelous work to do. I know that Christ knows who I am personally and he is here with me. He supports and loves me and you.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers. I really can feel them and your support. I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and remember to think of what you can give to Christ this Christmas!!!!!!!! Much love
