Alright, first thiings first!!! I will be spending Christmas at home away from home!!! Yup, with the Rodriguez family!!!!!!!!!! That will be our pday so you won´t get an email from me the following monday... or the one following new years day. New years day will also be a pday so you can´t wait till sunday to write! So, I will be in the Rod´s house and they will have their son calling home as well. They are going to find out what time they will be calling around 7 tonight so I will somehow get you an email during the week saying what time to call! It will be easier for you to call me because I´ve never bought a calling card here and neither has my companion so I don´t know where to get one!
So Kike(Elder Rodriguez) will be calling around 12:00 noon here. That means that you can call me at 10:00am your time! (that´s 6:00pm my time) Then we will have one hour to talk so have some questions! This will be the last time you get to call me on the mission!!!
The other day a member took us home and said that Maricarmen came up to her and started going off about how she knows me and how good of a missionary I am and how excited she is to have me here!
But... now they all have huge expectations from me!!!
I´ll be finishing well, I guess! haha
We have a great ward!!! There´re between 80 and 120 people that attend regularly... depending on the time of year! We have regular meetings and great leadership! I´m way stoked to be here! And my health is getting better! The only thing I will be missing is the fun part of Christmas! The package from richard did arrive on tuesday and I picked it up. However, your package arrived on thursday... in Alcazar. I will get it on the 8th of January... just in time for el día de los reyes magos! So I will be a little spaniard and celebrate 3 kings day instead of Christmas this year!
That was a way cool story! I love when lessons turn into a powerful testimony meeting! That´s the kind of thing that really keeps/brings people in the church! N will never forget the spirit and love that she felt there! Personal invitations are key in creating relationships! That´s why we make invitations to give to people whenever we have a baptism!
As far as baptisms go... They did not end up baptising the two sisters... yet!!! They´ll come around soon!!! And we might have a baptism soon with the roommate of a recent convert!!! She is a single mom of a 5 year-old and has tonnns of potential! We´re just waiting for after Christmas when she can come to our church. She is kind of committed to go to the evangelist church because her daughter is part of their Christmas program. She will come soon!!!
Well I gotta go! I just want questions from you all on Christmas!!! And I want Richard to guess who this is!...
