I just love Christmas season!!!! I find myself subconsiously
planning appointments in this rich gated community (all the rich people live
there, but the houses are about the size of our living room) just to see
Christmas lights!! Our Christmas tree is full of ornaments and lights we bought, and the little tree mom sent me just cheers me up whenever we walk in the
door!!!! How can you not love Christmas??
Also people are just nicer! We changed our street contacting
to include Christmas things about the birth of the Savior, true meaning of
Christmas, etc. and people still just lie to our face and give us fake
directions and such, but they do it in a nicer way... Christmas just has an
effect on people. hahaha
This week was soooooo boring!! Monday night we were
exhausted... we planned and then layed down to close our eyes for 5 minutes
while our pila (sink thingy) was filling up with water so we could wash our
clothes and dishes.... well we both fell asleep and 20 minutes
later my comp woke up with a ton of water on the tile floor where our pila is.
He ran in to turn off the water, slipped on the wet floor and fell face first
onto the hard tile floor!!
His face instantly started swelling and had this awful blue
color.... We called the mission nurse (who is a moron) and she told him just to
rest for a day and keep ice on it. The next day it was a ton worse (like the
ugliest thing you have ever seen) and had a ton of blood in his eye... the
nurse once again told him just to rest and put ice on it. Friday with nearly
his entire eye full of blood we decided that the nurse was a moron and called
the mission presidents wife. She sent him to the doctor the next day. After 2
hours walking around the capitol looking for the doctors office and having to
run out of a hospital after being admitted (another hillarious but super long
story) we found out that he had some serious thing and needed to be put on all
this medication immediately and we are going back to the doctor again tomorrow.
The mission president's wife found out and chewed out the mission nurse hard
core and now all the elders love us because everyone knows the nurse is a moron
and she finally got chewed out for it!!
So yeah, we didnt get to leave much and I was a little sad
about that, days sitting around in the house are horrible! But we got to go out
for a few hours Sunday, and we were just praying to find someone good so we
could have a little success this week... and we both felt that we needed to go to the house of this lady who wasn't very positive when we visited her the
first time and lives super far away, but we went for it... After walking about
10 years we got there and met her kid and her husband and her grand kids and they
are all awesome and we had a super spiritual lesson and laughed with them a ton
and they want us to come back again ASAP to learn more about this Smith
because it makes sense that people would receive revelation now like they did
in the bible and gosh it was just such an awesome blessing to find
them.
There was a temple trip for investigators and recent
converts Saturday. We didn't get to go because we were at the doctors, but a few
investigators went and had great experiences.
One of the pics is of brother Juan... Our recent convert who
blessed the sacrament Sunday! He is super awesome and progressing so much... so
greatful for that guy!!
Ok, that's about it...
Love you guys have a great day and
thanks for all the emails!!
