Happy holidays everyone!
This was a pretty good week. Hard, but good.
Miguel came to the family night last week! It was really awesome, and he met probably half of the members of the ward including the Bishop and the High Priest group leader. We're hoping that we can help him to be ready for baptism in a few weeks, but I worry a little that he might not really be on the same page as we are. He seems really receptive and loves having us over, but I'm not really sure if he understands why we keep coming to talk to him. We'll work on that this week. He's still a boss, but he wasn't at church yesterday. His tail-lights went out (kinda a lame excuse, I know, but he's a super careful driver) which was pretty lame. Not just the excuse being lame, but we spent close to an hour on Friday helping him fix his blinker. That was really fun, though. I've never been able to take apart a steering wheel before. Hopefully I'll never have to do it again. It takes FOREVER! But it was really cool to work on a drive-shaft wearing slacks and a tie. Not many people let us do cool stuff like that.

And even though Miguel wasn't at church yesterday, we did have a miracle church attendance. (Back in time a few months) Paul's an African American with a friend in San Antonio who gave him a Book of Mormon a few months ago. He read it and felt the Spirit, and wanted to find out more. So he came to church almost three months ago, but there was nobody there because it was Stake Conference. So yesterday he decided that he would come again with his family! So he, his wife, and their two kids came to church! And guess what the Sunday School lesson was on? THE SECOND COMING!! (probably pretty confusing for them, but whatever.) They don't live in our area, but they will be taught by the Beeville Sisters. And I'm pretty sure he's read the entire Book of Mormon! So cool!
And I can't forget Christmas! Christmas was very nice. We ate breakfast with a member family, ate lunch with a member family, skyped at a member family's house, and ate dinner with a member family as well. The members here are pretty cool.

Gas prices are as low as I've ever seen them. The other day it was 1.99 per gallon! Don't know how that is where you guys are, but I'm just wishing it had been like that last year! Just so you know.
I love you all, and hope to hear from you soon.
