Well, tons has happened this week, first off the best is
that we had our amazing Christmas party with the zone puerto
cabezas. Here included are some crazy photos from Christmas,
and my comp in his turban. President came and we had a
blast. He gave us a basket full of grapes and apples, which
is a delicacy here, because an apple is 3 dollars and grapes
even worse. He also gave each companionship a microwave, we
have yet to open it, because we don't know what to cook in
it, but we will by something today! After that we at lunck
at the hotel and watched Big Hero 6, the first movie in a
year. It was really good. Then we had a talent show,
everyone in the zone had to participate. Our district did a
swimming show behind a bunch of blankets. It was really
funny, and lame at the same time. Then we sang some songs
and ate dinner. It was a whole day without having to do
anything, like a mini vacation!
We got our Christmas packages this week, thank you so
much mom and dad. Elder Torres about peed his pants when he
opened it. He wore the tie he got three out of the seven
days this week, so you cab coclude that he loves it. He did
not even get a letter from his own family, but other
families of missionaries wrote to him to wish him a merry
Christmas. All in English so I had to translate. Thank you
so much for all the stuff, im going to get pretty fat with
all that candy, and the tie is amazing. The best was the
photo though, I love it so much, thank you.
The sister of Chester our convert got married this week.
They had quite a wedding bash. We just showed up and the mom
gave us dinner, it was great. What was weird is that the
girl is 15 and the dude is 40 years old, just a bit of a
gap. They were all very nice though, and it is really cool
to see people getting married instead of just living
together.
Fast Sunday happened, hope that all of you guys love to
fast as well. Luckily the rain came in and cooled things
down a bit, so it was not to bad. But only 66 people showed
up to church, so the rain put a little bit of a damper on
the attendance.
The best thing of my mission is the converts. We do
everything for them here, it so so cool to see them
progress. If you remember Francisco, he was baptized back
when I was with Accordino, is the second councilor of the
branch. When he was first baptized, he was so shy to share
his beliefs and quiet when he spoke. This Sunday he bore his
testimony in both of the meetings we had. He spoke with lots
of energy and testimony. I could not understand him though,
because he spoke in mesquito, but it was awesome! I could
understand a few words, and he was talking about his
conversion.
New years was good, tons of fireworks, but all went well.
A member got pretty burned up by his fire crackers, not to
surprising seeing that ten year olds play with them here.
Thanks for everything family! I hope that all is great at
home, remember how blessed you all are, and love the snow!
