| Feliz Navidad a todos! |
Well I saw all you guys a
couple days ago and it was fun to see all of you and see that you guys haven't
changed much, just more facial hair from Luke.. haha but it was fun to talk. And
the member whose house we were at was laughing so hard at Parker's Spanish and
hna Woodard thought it was pretty fun... Parker she said your mexi accent is
pretty spot on! This last week was fun and really busy!

| Christmas temple trip |
 |
| Nativity skit at the Christmas Party |
First off we had a
mission Christmas party on Tuesday and it was THE BEST! Why was it the best... well
it was the best because we got to do a session in the temple #blessings and
then after we all went to the stake center next to the temple and we ate
tamales and had a talent show with all the other zones. We just sang a song in
Italiano, español, ingles y portugues! I can't remember what we sang but it was a
Christmas hymn. Then one of our zone leaders did a cool magic trick and the
best part of it all... hna woodard and I convinced the boys from our district
to do a lip-sync to the song "love me but don't show me" from Sons of Provo and it
was the best thing ever! They had to get pérmission from pres before because
they were not sure if the dance moves were okay and yeah they were so they did
it and closed the talent show ahahaha it was SO FUNNY!!!!

| Our cookies that burnt because we were so busy killing cockroaches. |
Hmm what else this week... oh
yeah Christmas Eve... we had decided to make cookies for all of our menos
activos and investigators and everything and as the first batch was cooking we
saw more cockroaches then usual (fyi we have a really bad roach problem in our
house its nasty) so then we noticed that they were coming from the panel in the
oven where all the knobs are and we think there might be a nest back there so
we were freaking out and had our roach spray and we were spraying a ton and then
we couldn't breath so we went up on our roof and watched all the Christmas
lights for a little bit and yeah it was a very memorable Christmas eve hahah!
Christmas was good we
went caroling with our district and then we went to eat and called you guys!
After that we went and visited more people and yeah a good Christmas... and of
course we ended Christmas with a bang... we forgot our keys and our land lady
wasn't home so we were locked out and she wasn't answering her phone! haha so we
called out district leader and he wasn't answering so then we called our zone
leaders and they had to come to our area and sit outside with us till America, our landlady got home! haha we were all just sitting there and we were like
wow this Christmas we really will never forget! Also that night we got a killer
reference from the centro para visitantes ( CV ) of a family that wanted the
lessons so it was like the best Christmas present EVER! and of course also
seeing all your beautiful faces!
The next day we we went looking
for that family and we couldn't find the house number anywhere because Mexicans
like just painting a random number on their house and the numbers don't go in
order or they do and and then there is just a random! Anyways the number was 32
and we couldn't find it so we were just walking down the street and we were
about to knock on every door but then I asked this random little kid if his mom's
name was Nayeli and he said yes and walked away so we were like okay what do we
do? So we went later and knocked on the house of where the kid was and there is
no number on the front door but then we went to the side door and saw number 32
written in sharpie and we were so happy and we found the family and they
are really cool and the kids are super cute and we are going to go and teach
them tomorrow! So yay! Also we had a big contacting thing where a lot of the
elders came to our area and helped us contact to find more new people and we
have a lot of cool potential so I will keep you all updated!

| We bought ourselves jerseys for Christmas. |
As for the ward the max
number is like 35 and this last Sunday it was only like 15 because everyone
went to their pueblos for the holidays! I also play the piano in church because
nobody else can and me and hna woodard spoke yesterday! There is a lot for us to
do there... we teach gospel principals and when there is young women we teach
that too! So yeah the ward is small but slowly growing! Everything is good though and our bishop is awesome and there is a lot of work to do here!
