Christmas Morning

Hola Buena familia y amigos  Feliz Navidad y Año Nuevo! 

I got to talk to many of you on Christmas and that was so awesome! 

For Christmas eve and Christmas day we spent most of the day trying to visit the single women in our ward that don't have family to be with on Christmas. We were able to read Luke 2 or show them the nativity video to help them feel the Christmas spirit. They were all so thankful to have someone to be with for Christmas. Even if it was only an hour. 

Christmas Eve we had dinner with an extended family in our ward. There were over 20 people stuffed into a small little 4 room apartment but it was still so much fun. We had tamales and other Latino food and you could just feel the family closeness.

Christmas day we ate dinner with an English family in our ward. It was kinda a little bit of culture shock. We had steak and cheese cake and there wasn't anyone telling a weird story in crazy fast Spanish that I only catch part of. 



We even had a small Christmas miracle. We were leaving our dinner appointment and we were stuck behind a slow driver. I was looking out the window and felt impressed that we needed to stop at the gas station we were passing. I was just about to open my mouth to tell Hermana Blad to turn in when she suddenly turned in to the gas station. We were able to talk to this guy who was just walking out. We just had really awesome conversation and was super interested to hear about the book of Mormon. He had been prepared to receive our message and I'm so grateful that we were spiritually in tune enough to stop and talk to him.


I love you all lots and hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a happy New Year! 

Love, Hermana Dobson
