Feliz Navidad! I can't believe that it's
already Christmas! There are a couple of big milestones you hit while
you're serving a mission, and apparently your first Christmas is one of
them! So tomorrow is Christmas here in Honduras. People celebrate
Christmas on the 24th, haha, so today is kinda like Christmas Eve! And
then the next day is real Christmas and I get to talk with my family!!!! I'm
pretty excited for that! The bishop is letting us use the church's wifi,
and we are borrowing a couple of computers from some members too! It's
going to be great! I can't wait to hear from all of you!
Sounds like things are going really well for all of
you! Congratulations Stef on your new calling!!! Work hard
and try to magnify your calling! And Dad with the Lehi basketball team
haha that's sweet! Keep up the good work! Mom with your chime choir! That
was always the best sounding musical piece of any program! And that's
awesome that you guys got to see Margaret and her family! Tell them I
say hi when you see them, ok!
This week is a little weird! A lot of the members
are out of town, visiting family and stuff. But pretty much everyone
else has invited us over to eat tamales and tarretas which are kinda
like french toast! Oh my gosh everything is so rico!!! haha Christmas
down here is something different though. IT IS SO HOT!!! It just
keeps getting hotter and hotter every day, there have been some winds
that have been helping a little, but its insane!
Anyway, I just want to remind you all that there is a
deeper meaning to this time of year than just the presents and the
trees and the snow and the candy. I think it is kind of amazing that the
whole world pretty much has come together in creating the best holiday
in the world, in memory of the birth of our Savior! At times the true
meaning gets lost, but that's really what it is! People are more open to
the spirit right now, and everyone is just happier! I love it! Try to
find an opportunity to share the gospel with someone through this door
that is automatically opened by this time of year! (:
Love you a lot! Talk to you soon!! (:
