Yo Merry Christmas!

Sooo, you are probably wondering why I didn't write yesterday! lol We had a zone conference so our p day is today. 

Alright so this week was pretttttty dope. Christmas! Ha, Monday, we had p day like normal. went to this hill that overlooked a huge town, was tight. Love it here!


Tuesday was Christmas eve, and the rules were a little different than usual. We got to stay out until 12:30, and have dinner at a members house. We had a barbecue with a recent convert and it was mad funny, we just cracked jokes all night basicamente. Haha It was real nice though cause the years in the past she has only spent Christmas with her and her son, so she said it was real nice to have more people in the house. 


Christmas day was fun, I got my packages from Pat and Auntie Judy! Awesome Christmas present! lol everything in it was perfecto. Later that day got to speak with the fam! Never realized I would stumble as much as I did after having the habit or trying to speak spanish to everyone i talked to lol. I only imagine it being more difficult on mothers day! haha. It was awesome though!


I've been doing way better at my contacts though, this week I made a goal to do 10 every day by myself and I've really been doing it, its pretty fun too! Lots of funny weird things happen. Lol I was talking to a lady a couple days ago that mentioned she doesn't believe in any church or anything, and so I just went on to tell her that we only invite others to learn, and if you believe there's a god, to ask him yourself to find out....and she just sprayed me with her hose haha. It just made me laugh so hard! It was awesome! lol. 


It was dope though when we went to our investigators house to check on how she´s doing and we ended up talking to her dad! We thought he was gonna be all stickler and what not, but he´s pretty much golden like his daughter, asked tons of great questions! They're definitely gonna love what we have to share, its just been hard to find time because I'm pretty sure his daughter has a serious health problem, because she actually asked us to pray for her.

So Christmas is a little different here...at midnight on Christmas eve all the kids run out and play in the street, and someone yells ho ho ho and stuff, and then when they come back inside after a bit there presents are under the tree haha, little interesting. I just read Spencer's letters. He's soo hilarious haha. Just like Uncle Gerry... I'm sittin here crack-in up, and need to step up my story tellin! I think i just forget things lol.
So, other than that, things are going superb! Just learning my Spanish...es mucho mejor cada dia. Lol. (it's a lot easier for me now) Well, better go lots to do today.


In closing..I found out that Doctrina y Convenios Seccion 42 is pretty knowledge filled and would challenge you to read it this week. (D&C 42)

Love,
