This week has been pretty great. We've been using a lot the new initative that the church made for Christmas this year. #ILLUMINAelMUNDO (Light the World). This initiative gives us ideas of service that we can do every day until Christmas. We have been doing this ourselves as well. This month we have some activities of service planned to help others and at the same time to find new people to teach the gospel. This last week we decided to decorate the bulletin board to help the members get more involved in the campaign.
Yesterday we had the chance to watch the Christmas Devotional. It was super awesome! I love the music and the messages that are shared with us every year during Christmas time. Sometimes it is nice just to hear someone talk about the story of the Nativity. I also loved the story that President Eyring shared about their family nativity scene and how they included the story of Samuel the Lamanite from the Book of Mormon. I would honestly love to do something like that with my family someday.
Today for P-Day we went to a little town called San Lorenzo and went to a museum/home of some famous guy from Guatemala. He's the same guy that is on the front of the 5 Quetzal Bill in Guatemala (Justo Rufino Barrios.) It was pretty neat. There was a book there where we got to write about our experience so that other people could read it. I left my experience in the book

After we tore down the old bulletin board.
The finished product. A calendar of all of the days of the month so that the members can hang the photos of their service projects.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and may we all #LIGHTtheWORLD!
