We were setting up for the ward Christmas party but then....
we got distracted!
The mission Christmas party.
Me with the Pres.
Caroling with the ward.
Me with some of the youth in the ward.
"To live without love is to live halfway."
Dear family,
I like the Christmas picture. =) Nice Photoshop-ing. I like how I have
Blake's hands. All of the littles are so much different from when I left!
Anyway, I will call tomorrow, around 9 your time. 2pm
here in Brasil. I can talk for as long as I want. =) President doesn't
care, and we don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway... I will skype from the
chapel, while my companion uses the phone to call home.
Tonight, the other missionaries will come over and we
will spent Christmas eve together, which is cool, I guess. You said you send
three packages? I only got two. So the paper tree, I don't have. haha. Oh well.
This week was really, well, slow in terms of work. We
taught very little, but we helped out a lot with the ward. They had their
dinner (that we didn't eat. >=( freak.) That we helped set up and clean and
do everything.
The best part of the week was yesterday, when we went
caroling with members of the ward to some less active members, from 5 until 9.
It was great, I really liked it. It was the best thing that I've done all month.
It brought a little bit of that Christmas spirit that is lacking here in my
area. We brought the less actives fruitcake (which is actually a popular thing
here, no one throws it out). It was really great to see their reactions when
they saw a ton of members that they haven't seen in a while at their door to
sing for them. Some of them started crying. The Spirit was really great. I loved
it.
That's about all we did all week. Love you, talk to you
tomorrow. =)
