It was so incredibly amazing to talk to you on Christmas. I
loved seeing your faces and hearing your voices.
I’m sorry that it is so cold and you have snow. The weather
is quite pleasant here right now. I am still always sweating, but just sweating
less than before.
We had a lovely Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to the
bishop´s house for a huge dinner. It was super yummy; potato salad, rice and
beans, veggies. Then on Christmas day we were invited to eat in the apartment
of senior missionaries. The office elders are the elders that are in the
pictures. We had a great time. Other than the meals and getting to Skype the
fam, Christmas is a normal day in the field. We still went out to teach.
We teach an English class every week in the church. I didn't
realize before how much I do not know the grammar rules for English. Now I know
the rules better in Spanish. What I have been doing is picking a topic i.e. how
to give directions, food, animals... and we learn vocabulary and then we
practice talking. I really enjoy teaching the class! We invite all of our
investigators to attend. Often they are more open to the church because of the
class.
I love my companion so much. She is wonderful. We only have
one investigator progressing right now. He is about 35 years old and works
selling jewelry to the tourists. He is a super nice guy and has now gone to
church twice. He loves his mom so much and she is slowly dying. He wants to
change his life for her. He really wants to make something of himself. He feels
like he has wasted some years and is now ready to realize some of his goals. I’ll
keep you updated.
I noticed there is a rice cooker in one of the Christmas
pictures. I eat brown rice here nearly every day. So good! So, Meisha eats with
her hands? What a little savage (Pocahontas).
Feliz ano nuevo! I can’t believe 2013 has escaped us. I am
excited for this New Year. We are going to have to go in a little bit early on
New Year's Eve because there is a lot of drinking and partying.
Love you so much,
Meg
