Well what a week. Well first off,
on Monday my companion was listening to Christmas music y then the Holy Ghost
told me we need to visit investigator Gaby who we were planning to
baptize on Saturday. So I went to another room where it was less noisy y I asked
God again y he said yes visit Gaby. When I finished, Elder Runyan asked who
should we visit? Y I said the spirit told me two times we need to visit
investigator Gaby y he said sounds great. The lesson was full of the spirit. First
she had a lot of questions about what she heard in church. Then we said, “Are
you ready to get baptized on Saturday the 12th like what you said you will?” Y
she said, “no, I don’t know everything.” We talk about how you don’t need to
know everything to get baptized. Then I asked a question from the
spirit. I said, “did you pray to see if God wants you to be baptized on the 12th?”
Y she said no. So I invited her to
do it that night. After my companion liked how I worked y listened to the
spirit y we both said that was the push she needed to get
baptized. Well she prayed y got
her answer so we visited her on Wednesday to get her ready for her interview
for Thursday. Well she passed her interview y on Saturday we baptized her, but she
didn’t receive the Holy Ghost because there was no church on Sunday because it
was the dedication of the Tijuana Temple. Well she said in her prayer, thanks
after one year you send these two elders to come y make me feel I’m ready to
get baptized. The baptism was so sweet y the spirit was strong y she was happy
to get baptized.
On Friday we had the ward Christmas
party. We, the missionaries, sang Joy to the World y my companion played the
guitar. Then the kids sang some beautiful y funny Christmas songs. It was
just wonderful.
All week my companion will get to
a lesson y turn to me says “what does the spirit tell you
what we need to read or teach?” y then during the lesson the spirit was
very strong. I love having the spirit like that.

Well on Sunday was the Tijuana
Temple dedication. It was great!
Dieter F. Uchtdorf was there y so was Dallin H. Oaks. It was great y the
spirit was very strong y the quotes from the speakers were awesome! Like Dieter said the temple is a
lighthouse in our lives.
Oh, on friday we had a zone
meeting where we learned about teaching better y the the zone leaders told us
we have a cake for Elder Van’s birthday y it was a Spiderman cake. So everybody
sang happy birthday y then they pushed my face in the corner of the cake. It
was great. Just loving being an Elder in this Christmas time. Love you all y
thanks for all the prayers y gifts for me y my family. GOD BLESS YOU
EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Elder VanBuskirk
ADIOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

grandma’s package y your package
|
Wow, thanks for the package. No
I didn’t get it yet. I barley got grandma’s a few days ago y it got here in a
month. But you know what was weird? There was no card from Grandma. She always gives cards. Funny Grandma,
haha. Hey, Grandma sent a new shirt, but it is too big. It was 18 y I wear 17.
So what should I do?
Well ask grandma about the shirt
because she paid 36 dollars for it y about the card. Thanks.
Aaron finishes his mission on Friday.
Wow time does fly. Did you see the pics from Shabelly? Love you.
So do you want to know where my new area is? Well yesterday
they told me I was changing to Osconinglo, or something like that, y my
companion is going to be a trainer. Just kidding. Well they told me yesterday I
was going y then this morning at 8 they said I was staying because they had to
do special changes. So I’m staying for a few more weeks, because the
transfers were supposed to be Christmas, but that’s not good, so the transfer
will be 7 weeks, not 6.
Okay yes. The temple dedication
broadcast was wonderful. President Uchdorf was there y Dallin H Oaks. They did
the cornerstone y a lot of awesome talks. We watched the two first sessions, not
the last one. There was no church for any one in Mexico on Sunday. This was my
3rd temple dedication on my mission. It is my second one in Mexico y
one in MTC for the Ogden Temple.
Thanks mom. I got to go. I will
do Face Time because it will be easier y I will do it on the 25th! You can do it on a Mac. Work on it this
week so you will be ready when I call! Love you y thanks for everything y give
all my love y faith y hope! Bye. Love you!
Okay, bye. Love you.
I was leaving, but I want you to
tell Dad sorry for taking alot of money out, but I’m going to take out a little
more to make cookies for people in the ward y investigators for Chirstmas. Thanks
mom. I will make you cookies in a year! Love you so. xoxo
