Oh hello everyone!

Christmas time is almost here! That´s always exciting. Down here we get to eat mangos and sweat to death for Christmas, which is a little different. It´s weird how it´s really hot during December. I´m sure some of you would like that more. Yeah!

My ear seems to have gotten better. The problem is now that my other ear started hurting yesterday. Not too much, but it´s starting exactly how the other one started so I may be in for ear infection number two. Luckily I still have antibiotics that I´m taking so now I´ll just put some ear drops in my other ear and we´ll conquer it before it gets too bad. :D

I´ve received packages from the parental units and the grandparents so thank you everyone for those! Delicious American candy makes me happy. They only have Halls cough drops here for candy.

This week we had 2 christmas activities which was pretty exciting. The first one was with the zone and another zone in Santaní. We had some bus issues and showed up 2 hours late (our entire zone), and then due to other issues we had to leave early. So pretty much we had 7 hours of travel to not really do anything haha but it was all good. That´s where I got some packages so I´m happy :D We also had our branch Christmas party this Saturday. That was a little more difficult to pull off. We as missionaries didn´t want to do everything and we wanted to include the members in the planning and everything so we put the sisters in charge of buying and cooking the food and everything. They managed to make an argument from that and now we have a family that has declared they will never ever come to church ever again! That was not what I was hoping would happen from the party. : / Those that did go to the party had a good time and liked the food and playing pictionary and things like that. It was good. I also gave out the little present things that you all sent, and the kids attacked me like a bunch of wild animals. It was nuts.

We will find out changes tonight so we´ll see what happens there.

Other than that, it was a normal week. It´s hot and humid and it makes me tired but it´s all good. We just keep on going and trying to find new investigators and people that want to listen. I hope you all have a good week and Christmas! Make sure to help everyone around you and be nice to all. Try to make someone´s Christmas special. I love you all!

Love,
