A Whole lot of Christmas Spirit



Hey y'all! I just got to say that this week was awesome! The first great thing that happened is that we found another golden investigator. That makes it two right now that are progressing well. It has been a blessing because this area is super tough. Last Friday we had our ward party. It kinda stunk.. It wasn't planned very well so the people were bored.. A ton of people came but left right after they served the food.. haha and they had music to dance to but no one was dancing. I just wanted to let it all out and liven up the party but you know the missionary rules... So I just suffered and watched. I have been trying to get into the Christmas spirit lately. I have some Christmas socks that I have been wearing every day... Everyone thinks that I have problems... They just don't understand... I found some egg nog the other day, super expensive but I bought it for Christmas day.

I think that this Christmas is going to be a lot better than last years just because I am used to how everything is. Yesterday we had our Christmas conference with all of the zones. It was awesome because it was the first time that I have eaten real smoked ham in my whole time out. I got to see lots of friends that I haven't seen for a long time. Our zone had to do a Christmas skit in front of all of the other zones. Everyone chose me to be the main person because like I said earlier, everyone thinks that I have problems... but it was awesome.
We made a few people laugh. I just am not the acting type.. President Douglas and his wife gave great talks on giving and Christmas. It was just a super awesome and spiritual day. Today we got to go play paintball. I went HAM and killed lots of people. I really think that I have the coolest mission in the whole world. 
Well Christmas is in a week, I hope that all of you can get into the Christmas spirit of giving. That is Christmas is all about, giving more than receiving. I love you all so much and hope that you have great times with your
families.

December 3, 2014


Well what is up?! This week was a super crazy one. We did lots of fun little things haha. On Friday we went to the place that we eat every day to learn how they cook. I'm not so much of a cooker but I would love to learn how to at least make some Dominican style food. The ladies that work there are like our little old grandmas haha, full of so much love. That same day the son of a member passed away from cancer. They called us and told us to go to the funeral home. There I was told that I would be sharing a message.... I didn't know what to
do because I had to speak in front of a crowd of full on catholic about something.. I chose to share our beliefs about the plan of salvation. I felt so calm sharing the message and could tell that lots of them were interested in what I was saying. Then the next day we celebrated the birthday of Rodcilian, one of our converts. We just sang and ate cake it was fun! 
On Sunday we had a pretty rough day. We had invited lots of people to come to church but in the end of it all no one came.. It hurt.. That night my comp and I made something called quesillo. It is this egg cake that is sooo good! Transfers were today but I will be staying in my area for one more transfer. Haha we played a prank on some of the members telling them that we both were getting transfers. It was pretty sad.. haha but something that they will never forget hahah. Well that was pretty much my week. We are working hard and slowly seeing things progress. I love my mission and everything about it. I love you all so much!
