Merry Christmas!!!!
I
am so happy to be in the service of God at this time of year! I miss
you all at home a ton, but I have probably never had a better Christmas
season. I think for maybe the first time, or at least stronger than ever, I understand what people mean by "The Spirit of Christmas". I
have shared the 2nd chapter of Lucas with anyone who will listen, and
with it my testimony of the importance of the life of that little baby
who was born. It's been special.
Apart from
that spiritual stuff it has been a great week! I had to travel to Tegus twice
this week! One to take care of my legal papers again. When I got my new
ID I realized how fat I have gotten in the mission! DANG, jaja I need to
stop eating tortillas! There is this thing that missionaries do called "the Sexy Six" which is when they work out super hard and stop eating
so much for the last six months of their missions to get home looking
good! Jaja, I'm on my last month of eating as much as I want and doing
lazy exercises in the morning! Then things are going to get serious!
The
second trip to Tegucigalpa was for the Christmas party. It was so good!
We started it off singing musical numbers that each zone had prepared. We sang Noche De Luz. It was super good. Nothing brings the spirit like music. There is an Hermana Steele in our mission who sings so incredibly! She sings like an angel! Then President Bowler shared a really great message. The spirit was so strong. Lunch came next, honey ham! OHH! It was so rico! And then we played sports. There was a ping pong table, I kicked everyone's butts! Except Elder Riveras, he beat me once... and then I played soccer for like three hours. I'm super sore!

Tonight we are going to do a Secret Santa with the zone. It should be great! And then
tomorrow I get to talk to you guys!!! I'm super excited! I love Christmas time more than anything.
Well, see you tomorrow!
