I hope you enjoyed that little Christmas Teaser we recently sent home!! we have been having a great week!!! For your week it sounded like you had a lot of fun!! Brindlee had a funny dream that is a bummer about me not being able to speak English That'd be really weird! I have had dreams that I am home with the family but I am speaking Spanish to people too in the dream! I had a dream last night that I was home and Mom and I were in Walmart and they had a juice there called "Ades" which is a kind of juice they sell here and I was way excited to find it back home in the States and I started talking Spanish to a lady in the store and Mom didn't understand anything and I said to mom, "oh I forgot you don't speak Spanish so I have had some funny dreams too! That movie silent night sounds awesome! Is it a movie from the church or just another movie? I will have to see it! I really want to watch a movie!! Anyway this week here is what we did!
Monday was Elder M's birthday!!! We made tacos in the church like I told you, then that night we went to a members house who has family who are taking the missionary charlas and we had a little party for Elder M and we ate pizza, empanadas, and cake and it was really fun! Elder M got his face smashed into the cake and it broke the cake completely in half!!! We were there until like 8 then we went to another investigators/members house and we had MORE cake! We ate a lot that day! But it was a fun day and I think Elder M had a good birthday!! Tuesday we had a good day too! We visited a lot of people and we found a really cool Investigator who's name is Marcella She is a really nice lady and she wanted to go to church on Sunday but she got sick and when we talked to her she felt really bad that she couldn't go! But she is a great lady! Wednesday we did intercambios and I was in my area with one of our zone leaders and I was afraid I was going to get lost but I did just fine! We saw a miracle that day too! We had a couple plans fall through and we weren't too sure where to go, so I pulled out my ward directory and we saw a family who lived kind of close to where we were, The Manzilla family. So we went to their house and the mom was home with all of her kids! They have been less active for like 3 years and when we showed up the Mom was really friendly and let us in. She said it was a huge coincidence that we went to their house because their daughter turns 8 on Sunday and they know she needs to get baptized. She told us she had been talking about the church a lot lately with her husband and had been thinking about going back to the church. The daughter who is like 17 also told us that the night before she was getting scared about the "end of the world" myths so she said a prayer and asked our Father in Heaven to calm her and let her know she would be okay. Then just the next day we showed up!!! We have had like 10000000 people ask us about the end of the world it has been a good way to find people too!! So we had a scripture already planned out for questions about the end of the world so we shared it and the girl was happy and comforted. We were definitely guided to the family it was awesome! Then that night we had a great lesson with one of our investigator families who is really great! They have 4 kids and the parents and they love us! It was the same family we did the Asado with and helped them build their roof! We invited them to our ward Christmas dinner and they came!!! We were super happy that they were there and they made a few friends and they already knew one of the member family's who is their neighbor! Anyway they are a great family! Thursday we had an okay day but that was the night we had the Christmas party and it turned out really good! we ate a lot of pizza, drank a lot of soda, spent some time with our investigator family to help them meet some members and they really enjoyed themselves! They invited us to go over to their house again tomorrow to make some kind of food called "Guiso" and we aren't sure what it is but we're going anyway!!! The food here is usually really good! Friday we had a okay day, we had to go to another area so Elder M could do a baptismal interview for the hermanas in our district. Saturday we did service for a member of our ward to help him build his house! We got up at like 6 AM to go help him, he picked us up in a taxi and we went to where his house is and when we got there all of his plans fell through so we just went back home and then later he brought us lunch so that was cool. Then we went to a baptism that night of like 6 people who were getting baptized in our stake and we knew 2 of the people and they are great! One of the people that got baptized was a girl we taught for a little bit but then we found out it wasn't our area but she got baptized so that was awesome! Then Sunday we had a pretty normal Sunday We had a couple good lessons in the night and the day at church was great! They Member of the 70 Elder Resek actually was in our ward! It was a really good Sunday Today so fay we haven't done too much! We went to Walmart this morning and for lunch the hermanas of our zone made us all lunch and we just put in 10 pesos each and we ate a good lunch today! Now we are here in the cyber, and the family that we had a family home evening with just called us and cancelled... :( So now we have to re plan our evening... Anyway everything is good!!! Now to answer all the questions Mom has for me at the end of the letter!!!
So here is the whole thing about Skype: We are going to do it on the 25th!! And We are thinking about doing skype at 2 o'clock! (for you 2 o'clock) Will that work? I sure hope so!! and for who wants to be there can be there! It depends on who you want to invite. I am limited on time too so it is really up to you guys. I would love to be able to talk to every single person for an hour but I can't.. (I invited Libby already, so you might need to give her a call and ask if she can be there at that time) You can invite the whole family if you want, or just you guys if you want! It is up to you! OH! and yes I got my package (it is in the offices, I will get it on Wednesday and this time I got my pesos squeezed out of me from the stinking Argentine mail!!!! I will see on Wednesday if they stole anything out of it. But I got charged a ton of money for import fees!! I got charged 255 pesos!!!! :( I just really hope they didn't take anything out of it! So yeah, I might need a little extra money to pay for it. I took 320 pesos out today. I was just going to try to wait to see if I got a little extra money for Christmas ;) But I am super glad my package got here! So the 19th when we go to the Christmas party I will get my package! Should I wait until Christmas to open it??? So on the 24th we are going to have dinner with a member family, we have been invited to eat dinner by like 10 families of the ward and we just had to decide which one we wanted to eat with, so we decided and to the rest of the families we are giving them the DVD "Joy to The World" that the church made for Christmas We bought like 10 copies of it to give out to families! Then on the 25th we are going to do Skype and have an Asado in our house and just relax and play games or something! We are doing great though! We have been eating really well lately! We have tons of fun together Elder M is awesome! (Oh and in that video where he said something about farting, in Argentine Spanish if some says that we are "eating a ful" it means we are eating a ton! So when Elder M said "farting a ful" a ful means a ton! haha just more Spanish mixed with English Anyway friends and family I love all of you and I can't wait to see you in just a week!!! have a wonderful week and don't forget to eat plenty of fruit cake and drink plenty of egg nog!!! (the fruit cake here is called "pan dulce" and its actually really good. and I got a recipe for homemade egg nog and its really good too!) We wish you a merry Christmas and We will see you soon!!!
