Letter dated 31Dec2012

[Dear friends and family, this is the letter we received from Weston this morning. We loved being able to Skye with Weston on Christmas Day. It was almost like he was here with us! We wish all of you a wonderful and beautiful New Year! Weston's editor - BWS] Dear Family, What a great year it has been! I can´t believe it came and went the way that it did. I´m so happy for this season of changes and new opportunities. I hope that we all look for those ways to make differences in our lives and in the lives of others as we make our New Year's Goals. This year is going to be my last year as a missionary (as far as I know) and I´m going to start if off the way I want to finish it. I know that I´m doing work that can change others' lives but to do that I´m going to have to keep progressing myself in order to do that. I hope that we all make the best out of 2013 as a family and that we can look back at it all with satisfaction and with full memories of great experiences! It was among the best moments of my mission to talk to you all this past Christmas and see, hear, and feel your love! You are all just the best in the world, no doubt in my mind, and you all deserve the best in the weeks and months to come! I can´t imagine what will be in store for us all but it´ll be great, that´s for sure! Sorry for this short letter, but I talked myself dead to you all on Christmas, so there´s not much else to say. We had a good week and we´re looking for our next opportunities to find, teach, and baptize in the upcoming weeks and we hope to find much success in our time in Terrassa! I´ll make sure to start talking more about the funny things too! Those are the best stories, right?!? Os quiero un montón! Élder Xander Weston Schindler P.S. We have to go back, Kate... P.P.S. Why are you all so interested to know if I´m teaching more Spaniards or South Americans?!? Actually, it only feels like Joseph is the one asking me that. ^_^
