Well, it´s almost Christmas! I don´t really have a whole lot to say today and so I sent you guys a few pictures. I am so happy that everything went well with your surgery mom. I was so worried. So pathetic story, last week I was thinking about mom and her surgery and everything during personal studies, I was studying about how we can recognize the spirit in Preach my Gospel and then all of the sudden I started thinking about Dad and his high blood pressure and how he could have a stroke or something and I started bawling during studies and it scared me because I was studying about the spirit, so I thought to myself, yeah, these thoughts are from the spirit. I bawled for probably half an hour or something, my companions just thought I was overtaken by the spirit or something. It was so pathetic. So anyways we had our interviews with Presidente last week, the day of your surgery actually, and at the end of my interview he asked if there was anything else that I wanted to talk about. I told him about my whole pathetic experience and how I was worried about you mom and everything and how it was a little bit harder this week to focus on the work. He gave me a great scripture that I want to share with you all, I don´t have my English scriptures with me so you will have to look it up DyC 6:36. He encouraged me to have Christ in both parts of my brain. In the part of my brain that sees images to have a picture of Christ up there and in the part that forms words to have a conversation with God in there. This helped me a lot because with this I was able to replace all of the fear that I had and instead focus on Christ and all that he does for me, and for my family. Presidente gave me a blessing, but guess what, the majority of the blessing was for you Mom. You were blessed through me! Hee, hee that sounds funny, but he also did bless me with comfort and strength and everything and it helped a lot.
Another thing that I realized today is that I don´t need to worry for you guys, you have a whole word family watching over you. I love our ward. Say thanks to everyone for me. It really is comforting to know that even though I am half-way across the world there are people who are taking care of my family and so I don´t need to worry at all.
So there are all sorts of fruit trees here in my sector, I´m not really sure what type of fruit they are, but they are a nice snack while walking in the street.
El dia de deportes-Sports Day for the mission-me celebrating

Much Love, Hermana Evans
