week 26: fruit ninja


Christmas Eve dinner!
the members are so good to us...we even had a cake
for my companion's birthday!

Hey guys,

Merry Christmas I guess, but it's way too hot down here to be Christmas.

This week was awesome. We had a family invite us over for Christmas Eve which was a party. It was great, except we had to leave and be home by 9:30. We had the other Elders stay at our house and played uno (I felt like since we're in Mexico we should say one). Christmas was great. I got some stuff from my family, including a book called "The Infinite Atonement" which has blown my mind multiple times. Then we went to a baptism of the other Elders, and we brought two of our investigators, Carlos and Flor, who are the same age as the girl who got baptized.

Carlos and Flor are both awesome, and both are progressing towards baptism. Their dad and grandma are members and they have a baptism date set for the 11th of January. The other day Carlos was asking me how to say different Spanish words in English and said one of the greatest sentences in the history of the universe. Como se dice Freefire en inglés? Freefire is a video game that's huge here, and I was dying.

Last story. We were at a member's house and the hermana asked if we wanted coconut. I then had the opportunity to unleash my inner fruit ninja with a machete. After cutting a hole in a coconut, I drank the water and split the coconut in half with my machete and ate it.
