Feliz Año nuevo!!!! Wow, I
cannot believe how quickly this past year has gone and that I have spent the
whole time here in Uruguay! It was soooo awesome to talk with all of you guys
on Christmas, it was the best part of my day!! The only thing that does freak
me out a little bit is how old everyone is starting to look....and sound....all
of my comps here where like ´why the heck does your brother have such a deep
voice?´ Couldn't convince them he got it from me, so oh well. I think my spanish
voice is a little higher than my english voice anyway;) This week was really
fun and full of great festivities and great activities. Something really fun
that we did was go around caroling to all of the members in the ward, and we
sang a mix of hymns and groovy Feliz Navidad in english and spanish, they
thought it was a hoot. We also received so much food from members that we didn't
have room to store it all and we could not eat all of it fast enough before it
went bad....we had a pretty good cleaning day as well for that. Just like
christmas at home right?;)
Thank
you so much for the packages by the way!! The shoes work soooo good and the
ties are awesome! Elder Toledo is wearing one and I am wearing one of the
others for concilio that we have tomorrow! Oh yeah, we leave tonight to head to
Montevideo to have the meeting with President Smith and all the ZLs and Hermana
leaders, so we will be there all day tomorrow and then get home late tomorrow
night. Lots of traveling again, but it will be well worth it. President has a
lot of big things planned for this year and I am really exited to be able to go
and get it first hand from him! (Also to eat the food from the Hermana Smith;)
All in all it is going to be a pretty good little day trip! I will also see Elder
Diotaiuti for the last time because he heads home in two weeks! Crazy right? He has been a great example and one of my best friends here in the mission, and
I cant wait to see him after!
The
truth is that we have a lot of people that we have been working a lot with and
that we have found recently and that are in the process of accepting more light
in their lives. We have seen the power of the spirit in their lives, and we are
really looking forward to helping them this week! We have been working really
hard to help our zone and ward, and we are starting to see some really good
changes and results! New Years is going to be crazy, but I am super excited, it
is going to be wild here!!! You guys have fun and enjoy the week and the cold
weather...I've been sweating all day:) I love you guys tons!!! Thank you for
everything!!!
