Hey family!!
I am so happy to hear
your funny stories!! They are pretty great! Especially the "You´re a cat
guy" and "I found the unbold button". David, may the force be
with you in these finals! I am so excited for you guys to see the new star wars.
Some elders are freaking out because they are breaking family traditions by not
going to the opening night haha. I am totally fine with it. Right now i am more
worried with finances and trying to keep my desk organized. We had the mission
christmas party (the pics have not gotten to us yet) That took me out of the
office for two days (CRAZY!!) I had some cool car rides with just President
Thomas and I. We were able to talk about a few cool things. I asked questions
about how he raised his children and talked about how i would like my home to
be. We went to burger king and spent R$600.00!!!
After all the
christmas party stuff, i was behind in my office work. We only went out to work
in our area yesterday with our Ward Mission Leader, Irmão Lazaro. It was pretty
sweet. Tonight is our ward christmas dinner, we went around inviting a bunch of
people yesterday and it looks like it went pretty well, we will follow up today
and see how it goes. I am pretty excited to eat some good christmas food. I
just really hope they have gingerbread cookies there, it´s been a while!! My
box arrived mom and dad! I receive the notification yesterday. I have to pay
$36 dollars to get it out of the post office. I am super excited!!! I will get
it on monday on my lunch break!
Tomorrow we are going
to do something super cool!! You guys know the little pass along cards this
year for Light the World. Well i went to the area offices yesterday and asked
for the archives of those graphics for the portuguese campaign. They gave it
and asked for a banner to be made. The mission paid for it!!! The area offices
also gave a bunch of other church materials like Liahonas and christmas music
videos to give away. (Perks of being the mission with the temple and area
office!!) We are going to set up a table with the christmas campaign on Avenida
Paulista (the times square of Brazil!) We will contact and sing and give out
church material for an hour and a half tomorrow after church!!! I am soooo
excited!! I will take pics and spread the good word of God downtown!!!
My companion gave me
an eggnog chocolate from his christmas box, though i am not very fond of
eggnog. I really enjoyed and appreciated that chocolate.
Yesterday i bought a
vuvuzela from BRASIL!!!!
I am reading in the
scriptures about Jesus Christ in the Americas. I love reading his own words!
How He loves us is fantastic!!! I love Him and am trying to get better and
become more like Him each day! Have a great week! May the force be with you,
Always!
