MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
So this week was sweet. Monday we did this family home evening night where we made cookies right but it was horrible. People in this country don't use their ovens - at least not to cook that is. They just use them for storage. So when we had to use the oven we opened it up and there were pans in there filled with rat poop. Disgusting!!! So we took out all of those pans and cleaned them. And then we put the cookies in. Well after like five minutes the whole house started smelling like rat poop. lol. It was a pretty amazing smell. lol. But the good news was that the cookies still tasted good. I was surprised that they still wanted to eat them, because i wasn't feeling like eating any cookies from that oven! lol.
Tuesday was a pretty normal day. We went out with this kid named Jose, and it was good. Normal. But Wednesday was a dang good day. So Wednesday we passed by a lady named Carminia. She is about 38 years old and she lives with her husband and 5 kids. When we went to her house Wednesday she told me how she received an answer to her prayers and wants to be baptized. o-ya. So we passed by again Saturday to talk with her husband. We talked to them about the plan of salvation and the importance of eternal families and marriage. And it went way good. The whole family went to church Sunday. It was probably the best part of my week. So I truly hope that they continue doing really good and get baptized - the whole family. Then Friday we had our Christmas dinner as a ward. Me and my companion probably made the "best potatoes ever" once again, and it was way good. The young men and young women did this dance thing. The young men did a break dancing thing and the young women did some line dancing thing. They were both way cool - not very coordinated - lol - but way cool. And that was about my week. Super excited to talk to the family on the 25th.
Happy Holidays,
