I made myself a Christmas count down chain, because it is December, and because on Christmas I get to Skype family!!! So I am way excited. Mom for Christmas I want peanut butter, and resses. And any kind of junk food you think will last 3-4 weeks in the mail. :)
This week was sad because we just walked everywhere. These people cannot keep appointments, so we are constantly going from street to street. So that was fun. Also people weren't around because of the elections this week. There was a party every night by our house. I live one block away from central park, so that doesn't help either.
This week was just crazy. And we always had to be on the look out. The locals called this past week "The week of the crazies". And it was partly true. But don't worry nothing happened, and we were protected at all times.
I SAW A LLAMA!!!! Well, I actually saw two! They were in town for the parties, and they are short! I thought they were bigger. I kept my distance though because their saliva is poison, and they like to spit. I don't care if that isn't true, I don't care to be blind, so I took precautions.
Its summer. I know you know that, because I tell you every week, but really, ITS SAINT GEORGE here. Everyday its between 24-28 degrees C. And I'm pretty sure thats about 60-100 degrees. Each day is different, and the weather is kind of weird. One day, 100, the next is storm looking clouds. But it has only sprinkled, and I mean sprinkled for 3 hours in my 3 weeks here.
So I am totally losing weight, but I gain it back from the food. My favorite dessert I had this week was "Torta de thres(3) leches" So GOOD!!!! I love it. I would marry it if I could. It's so good!!!! YUM! I will write down the recipe for when I get back and make it for you!!!! AHA!! In 16 months you can try it for yourself!!! :)
If you haven't seen the new clip the Church has put out this Christmas season you need to watch it!!!! "He is the Gift" is so good. We are showing it to everyone here. I love everything about it! TOTALLY!! It's so good. And the people are really enjoying it also. It's my favorite lesson to teach! haha..... It's really the only lesson I can teach because we rely completely on promoting on the spirit. The people are so amazing. But anyway, WATCH IT!!! Watch it with your families and share it on Facebook, and everything!!!! The world, no matter the religion, needs to see this!
I didn't get to watch the Christmas Devotional yesterday, so I was kind of bummed about that. I really wanted to watch it. I love this Devotional! Hopefully we will watch it this week sometime.
The CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS IT TRUE!!!!!!! Pray to know for yourself if it is true! You need your own personal testimony! Christ lives!!!
Keep praying for me. I really need all the help I can get. Love you al! You are the best! I love reading your emails and hearing about your lives back at home!
