Dear Family,
This past week has been really quite hectic. But before we get into that... the Christmas call!
So this is the deal. Sadly (Dad) we aren't allowed to use Skype. Neither will we be sending a Christmas Eve 2 minute call either to set things up. The way this is going to work is that President Gelwix has asked that all of the families call us at our missionary cell phones. Our number is: (for obvious reasons, I'm cutting this out, sorry guys...or should I say girls? :) ehhh ok, weird...back to David)
Needless to say, I'm pretty excited. I'm preparing a few topics that will help me to make sure that we get everything covered.
So, this last week, we had a baptism planned. Her name is Griselda Cabrera. She was planned to be baptized yesterday but... well, the way she put it is... she was having some "girl problems". So know we are planning to baptize her this Thursday.
We have been having a lot of success lately during the Christmas season. We've also received a lot of spiritually reviving training. It has been awesome.
So we just went to the home of the Torres family. Their son, Manuel Torres, just returned home from his mission. As we were talking, after I told him that I was from Florida, he asked if I knew an Elder Perez, who had served as one of the Assistants in his mission.
I thought for a moment, then asked, "Elder Will Perez?"
To which he replied, "Yeah, I think that's it."
Then he ran off and grabbed an album of mission pictures. Sure enough, there it was the same Elder Perez.
So that is pretty awesome. I was about to send off a picture of said picture... but this Family History computer does not allow me to send/upload pictures. I then thought... hmm, what if I could find a way around this? After 2 minutes, I realized that it was pointless... too much of a time suck.
Well, I'll talk to you this... Sunday.
Love you all!
Happy Christmas!
Elder Ostler
