Week 23: Cold-Hearted Rejection

Hola familia y amigos!!!

First week of this transfer already down, it feels like it has been flying by I can't even believe it. I am coming up on the 6 month mark on the mission and can ́t even believe that I am about to finish a fourth of my mission. Makes me cherish every precious day here in the mission and never take for granted the opportunities I am given. 

This week was a pretty tough one. We focused almost 100% on finding new people with very little luck. My companion Elder Ramos has spent his whole mission in the north so he kind of got caught off guard with the cold-hearted rejection we receive so much here haha. He's learning quick though which is good. Here in the city we find some of the most open, receptive people and we also find some of the meanest, closed off people we can find. It's all worth it though because people are listening and are making changes in their lives which is awesome to see. 

This week was also the stake christmas activity and we were able to go and celebrate a little bit of Christ's birth. Such a powerful time here in the mission and it is crazy how many people soften their hearts in this season of the year. It doesn't feel like December here but it sure does feel like Christmas haha. Lots of Christmas lights and lots of joy as well. 

That's really all I got for ya this week! Hope all is well back home and only 9 days till Christmas!!!

Love and miss you all!
Elder Anderson
