Yeah this week has been great! We have done a lot of stuff for Christmas! But I did get a package on Friday from Grandma that was sent to the mission office! I got it and I am waiting until Christmas to open it! I also got one from Ellis family and from Shirley and their family! But I love all the packages they are so nice! I have also gotten a few Christmas cards that I love! The letters are my favorite! Also I am sending a few cards home to you but I don't know the addresses to them so can you deliver them from home? But on Christmas I can skype you guys! I just need you to send me your skype information so I can call you because I have my account I just need to call you guys! But it will probably be at like 4 o'clock because we have a district meeting/ making cookies in the morning and then we are eating dinner with the Gandera family at 1! The Gandera family is the one that Eric knew from his mission who was in this ward! But the family downstairs just invited us for Christmas dinner so Christmas will be busy!
But the temple was amazing! It was so awkward in English though for my first time again. But it was amazing to go through and one of the workers there was brother hicken who I stayed with on my very first night here so that was nice to see him again! But it's crazy, the temple is like a home to me. I feel like you guys are right there beside me when I go through! I love that feeling and that peace that I feel there!
Also we have been wearing ugly sweaters to some parties and things like that so that has been way funny! We got the ugly sweaters at Good Will so it was like 4 dollars! But I did make some holiday cards and will send those out too! We had a Christmas party at the mission home with our zone on Friday and that was way fun too! But Liz is going to be baptized on the 4th of January! I am so excited for her! Her testimony is so strong and she loves the Gospel and is sharing with her parents! Oscar is going to receive the priesthood too on Sunday! We are so excited! Their oldest girl is Jayleen (like jaylin) and the middle is Kayle and the little boy is Andrew! But Jayleen turns 8 jan 31 so she wants to get baptized soon too! Since the ward split in February it has gone through a little bit of a baptism drought because it's hard to get everything figured out again so it will be the first baptism in like 6 months in the ward! I love their family so much!
But the members here gave us tons of stuff here too! I got 2 ties, free meals to chipotle, and a big box of stuff! They really love us!
Everything is going great here! Keep me updated! Love you though and I will talk to you on Wednesday about 4 or 5 your time! Love you!!!
