Hello again. Hope all is going well for yáll back home. That

of the holiday seasons, and hopefully some nice fresh powder to ski on while
you´re at it.

Things here in Los Naranjos are actually...well quite cold...so
we´re feeling like we´re getting in the holiday season by drinking hot
chocolate each night. Go fight win. Still have a freezing ice cold shower...but
we spent a little money and should have hot water by this week...so Merry
Christmas to us! (hopefully) (Please pray that their branch president who is supposed to install what they bought will actually take time and do it. Thanks! Unfortunately they don't have heat because their landlord says they can't use the fireplace...I guess it's in the contract.)
We put up some super cutesy decorations for Christmas and
just made our apartment (I think she meant cabin) all homie (Thanks to Shelly Evans for the decorations)
But I forgot to take pictures so you´ll have to wait until next week.

Also, before I forget, I sent you each your Christmas
present via mail...aka the Christmas card I sent each of you...I figured I just
better tell you now that that´s your Christmas present from me this year...just
so there´s not any confusion later on when you don´t get an ipad from me :)

Huge miracle for the week:
Last Monday we put a fecha (baptismal date) with Maritza. I am shocked and
amazed and stoked! God is so good. We haven´t even been in our area for a week
and we already have a
baptism date. That is nothing that we did. It is
completely God and the spirit, but it was seriously a huge miracle. We had a
really sweet lesson with her, as she has a strong desire to follow God and do
His will. She was really hesitant at first, but then we used the calendar and I
tried following the spirit and read Mosiah 18, where it talks about "What
else impedes (what other obstacles might be in your way) you to get baptized?"...and it was perfect. My companion gave
the greatest testimonio that just comes right from her heart and brings so much
of the spirit. It was seriously so great. I just am so amazed and happy. And I
am excited to be working and learning and growing.

"Here
in El Salvador we are having an adventure, that is for sure! It is hard work
but this work makes me so happy! I love having lessons with people when it is
dark outside and we use our little flashlights to read the scriptures and sing
a Christmas hymn. I look up at the stars and look at the surrounding mountains
and I can feel the spirit so strong and I feel so much peace." Sister Evans

God always does His part. Always! He never fails us. We just
have to trust in Him more and have more faith. And He will come through.

And Maritza is keeping our hope alive as we are working with her
to be baptized in a couple weeks. She is so excited and loves every moment and is
soaking it all up that is just gives us so much more hope and desire to keep
working.
Aside from that things are going well. Just keeping up in
the work and doing our best. Hoping and watching for miracles.
Love you all like crazy!
Love,
Hermana Wright
PS I feel like I write less and less in my journal as the
time goes on because the mission life is more and more normal and I don´t
know...less time. So sorry if my letters have gotten progressively more boring.
