Short email, 12/23/2013

So I only have a little time today because our pday is Christmas and we are skyping sooooo yeah this will be short.

My new comp is HERMANA M she's the best!!!! She is from California and she is super funny. We have a lot of fun. This is her last transfer and so we are going to work super hard here to make it the best transfer ever!!!!

It doesn't feel like Christmas to me yet, but I am excited! We are going to chill at the familia D's house and eat yummy food. On Christmas eve we are going to be with Hermano C and his family, and that will be super fun. We are also going caroling with the elders tomorrow! Before my mission I was bummed that I would miss 2 Christmas's at home, but now I am glad because mission Christmas's are really special and different.

So the baptism was great! B agreed to bear his testimony after the baptism, and I was afraid that he would talk for hours about how he was electrocuted when he was 7 and how he had "seen that bright light and seen the angels" but he just gave a short testimony of how he was proud to be a Mormon and loves "the Mormon book" as he calls it haha

So we have been teaching this lady E for a LONG time and she has never come to church, but she is going through some really hard things right now and so we decided we were going to teach the Sabbath day again and commit her to come to church and we were really gonna crack down because it's about time. well right when we sat down her daughter runs up to us and says "vamos a la iglesia manana!" so that was awesome, we looked at each other like "ok, that was easy". AND SHE REALLY CAME!!!! It was the biggest miracle of the week!

Well that's basically all. oh wait one more thing. Hermano C thinks of us as his "angeles", which drives me crazy but I know it's a cultural thing. Well anyways he has 3 porcelain angels on top of his Christmas tree named P (she was the sister here before me ) W, and Jones.............I will have to send a picture..........it's so weird because the angels say our names on them..... weird.

Well feliz navidad and see ya on Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
