Happy Thanksgiving! everybody. I hope you all had a great
Thankgiving. Mine wasn't too bad, we taught a little and worked like normal, they don't celebrate it at all, I missed it though, they don't really eat
turkey down here but they do celebrate Christmas at least which is in
less than a month. It's pretty crazy, we are planning a branch Christmas party
for investigators, less actives and people to bring their friends. I am excited
for that but it will be after the next cambios because this cambio is only 5
weeks or else the elders going home would miss 3 Christmas´away from
home.
This week sure went fast as has this cambio and November. I
remember Halloween with all the people trick or treating and all the
evangelicos who hate halloween and now its already December, I can remember
last December planning for Jeni and Cameron's wedding. Can't believe how fast
time goes now. Time on the mission is incredible how fast it all goes.
So we are close to having another baptism with Marcos the
husband of my first baptism Monica. He is trying to get off work so that he can
attend church, but right now he might change jobs and move to Calbuco whch is
an island about 4 hours south, but he is changing so that he can attend church
and he wants to be baptized here, it was also cool because we were teaching and
we were ending with a prayer and we asked who they would like to say it and he
said Amaro,their 4 year old son, so they got down and his son said the cutest
little prayer. So simple but adorable. They are teaching their son how to pray
which is an awesome thing and they are preparing for the temple right now. Such
a good and special family to me.
We also had the oppurtunity to bear testimony about the Book
of Mormon in a lesson to a lady and her husband who are evengelicos. They were
great but they didn't want to be confused about their faith so they wouldn't read
the Book of Mormon, but we finally got them to read and pray and we have
another appointment with them Saturday so keep them in your prayers to recieve
an answer before that day.
Well, I hope its not too cold up north, as it is starting to
really heat up, its been short sleeves and though it did rain and was cold at
the beginning of this week. It has been changing from cold to hot lately and I don't really like it but its better than cold and rainy all the time.
Well I hope everybody is having a great holiday season,
because I sure am, it's becoming one of the most selfless holidays I have ever
had. The only times I am a little homesick is seeing the Christmas trees in the
store and wondering if the tree is up at home already, because I know how its
always up around Thanksgiving if not before and thinking if Tanner is sleepng
underneath it haha.
I also have been going through a fun little time, because
this year I get to have 2 springs or another name I like to call it is 2
allergy seasons. I had a really bad time on thursday, it's better today but it's
still pretty rough. I think I am also allergic to cats becasue it is worse
everytime that I am in a house with cats, so guess we can't have any cats, darn
it, only dogs.
K Love You all, Big abrazo
