Martin Carerra - Hey Hey Hey

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!
