¡Hola! ¿Como estan?
Well shoot short letters kill me moooooom! haha it is alright I understand.
Gah it feels so wierd not being at home for Navidad, there are lights going up everywhere here and so it looks pretty cool here at night, I will see if pictures are going to work today.
No sadly no baptizms yet, they either dont attend church or drop us at the last minute, so no none yet and my first transfer is almost up. We have a younger kid who has gone to church and has a date for friday so he will most likely be my first. crazy huh?
Ok so we were knocking doors on Tuesday I believe and we ran across this rather large family. They at first asked us to help there daughter with her English homework and so we did, and being the studly missionaries we are we wiggled our way into teaching a lesson. They are extremely interested and about half of the family 6/13 or 14 people, I dont remember, came to shurch yesterday so it was pretty awesome and we will be setting them on date tomorrow. The other funny thing about that is the men of the group came with us to Priesthood and guess what the topic was on. Exaltation. So here we are with an Investigator family at there first time in Church and the teacher is talking on how we are going to be judged and if we play the right cards we recieve Exaltation and become like God. We thought that was going to ruin it, but we went by there house last night and asked if they had questions and they said no. We then asked if they liked it and they said they loved it! So we will see how this goes.
Remember Marco and Marta? Yeah, they ended up flaking out of church this week, but we got a reason atleast. Marta was at work and Marco had a few fears. Mainly because he hasnt really ever been to church in his life. We resolved them and they will probably be baptized on Christmas Day. Also we helped him smooth out his fences in his apartment to be ready for painting, it was cool, and he listened to us afterward. Service for Charity in missionary work makes it so much more enjoyable.
Ok, On tuesday we went on splits with the Zone Leaders and so I went to the ZLs area and Elder Barben stayed in our area. Let me tell you something, it was wierd working with a different missionary. He taught so much differently then Elder Barben, so it took me a few doors to get used to how he does his stuff.
On Thursday we had the Mission Christmas Party and so I got to see all my MTC district buddies and we got to catch up. They are all doing awesome, aside from some irratably companions that is. Haha. At the Party there was a Christmas Devotional then we got to watch 2 real life Babylonia Movies. And President was right there with us so we were not breaking any rules. We watched How to train your Dragon and The Lion King. The Lion King was in Spanish so It wasnt really enjoyable since I was reading subtitles the whole time and trying to pick out spnaish words. How to train your Dragon was in English with Spanish subtitles so that was enjoyable. After we had a really good dinner and then left for home.
On Friday, I believe, we were playing a bit of basketball in the morning for our excercise and I tried to catch the ball funny and I ended up jamming my finger really bad. We wrapped it up and so it is alot better today, but its really bruised. It should be good by mid week though.
Also, one of the resource teacher in the MTC, Hermano Vargas´s dad lives down here and he came visiting. Turns out his dad is the stake president for my ward and he found out I was here, and on Sunday he came and visited. It was pretty cool, he told me whats been happening back in the MTC and what not and so we had a good chat. I didnt have my camera with me but he took a picture on his phone and said he would email it to me sometime.
Stay safe and have a fun week and what not
Hasta Dia de Navidad y les amo
