Hola!! This week
was a great super fast week!! We had a
big meeting with half of the mission for our Christmas thing and that was
really good. Each zone did a skit thing
and sang a song and then we did a white elephant gift thing and ate, and President
talked to us. President King is an
awesome and super nice guy. I have
learned tons from him since I have been here. And then I had a meeting for new missionaries
and that was really good - it was pretty much 6 hours of listening to President
and it was awesome! I learned a ton! This week we also did a big car wash with the Priesthood
and Young Men to help raise money for an EFY they are having here and that was
lots of fun and they made quite a bit of money off of that. It was great to help them out with that. And then last night the Priesthood went around
caroling to some families and that was a great experience. Normally not very many people come to ward
activities, but the last couple have been really good and had really good attendance
and it was cool to see how much the ward was strengthened just by caroling at a
few houses. I thought that was awesome
to see. And today for p-day we did a big
service project for some families that live along the railroad tracks. Their houses are seriously smaller than our
brown shed in our yard and had a lot more holes. We made a bunch of turkeys and collected a
bunch of presents and wrapped them and brought them around to some of the
families. They were sooooo happy to have
some good food and presents for their kids. I haven't seen someone look so happy in a long
time! It was a great experience. I have some pictures I wanted to send of it,
but it seems like only about a quarter of the computers send pictures here and
today I did not get lucky enough! Hopefully
next week. This week we had some pretty
hard core rain - I think it was Wednesday and the streets pretty much turned
into rivers! It was a lot of fun. I have never seen so much rain in one day
before! It was pouring literally all day
long - got me excited for the winters here! It is still super crazy it is Christmas eve
today - does not feel like it at all! Here
in Chile they have their bigger dinner on Christmas eve and open all of their
presents at midnight and then just pretty much sleep all day Christmas day. So for dinner tonight we are going to one of
the counselors in the bishopric's house for dinner and he is inviting a bunch
of widows and inactives and stuff and we are gonna have a big thing so that should
be lots of fun and a great teaching experience. This week we found a guy who is
super ready for the gospel. It was
awesome to talk to him. He said that he
had been looking for the truth for years and that he knew that is why we were
at his house. We have had a couple great
lessons with him and it is going great. It
is fun to see how excited he is about it! Well my companion is heading off for California
on Wednesday morning, so I will see who I get to spend the next couple of
changes with, probably a Latin! It will
be way good for my Spanish!! And for Skyping
on Wednesday, I hope 2 in the afternoon is ok for you, I really don´t know how
it is gonna work cause I don't have your Skype name or anything ......... send
me an email with your Skype name before Wednesday so I can find it when I make
a Skype account! Anyways, have a great Christmas
everyone!!!
