Buenas!!

well, to answer questions, no i didn't get changed. and neither did my comp. i didn't think i would get changed so this was totally expected but awesome. and we didn't have the baptism because i really didn't feel like diana was ready, and she didn't show up to her interview, so i was right. just gotta keep praying for her. Hernan and Lina are doing awesome tho! just gotta set the date for their marriage. as far as finding news, that work is super slow in the city. i guess everyone you talk to in the coast becomes an investigator, but here people are stubborn. but all we can do is keep trying :)

as far as this week goes tho, it was super awesome and super fast!!! i don't really remember Tuesday and Wednesday..... BUT THURSDAY! Elder Gibson came to the house (i invited all the other gringos but they didn't come) and i made a thanksgiving feast!!! you guys didn't know i could coo thanksgiving food did ya? haha and we don't have an oven so i made cobbler on the stove for desert!

and then Friday, we went out to the area of the hermanas in guatape  to a dog/pig farm to bathe all the perros and cerdos. it was awesome... but i have never heard pigs scream so loud... it was horrifying. i got videos but idk if they will send... but i got lots of pics too!

and yesterday, i didn't write because we did the district meeting early for an activity in the night.... we took this bus called a "chiva" (which is basically an open bus without windows or doors that's painted all kinds of crazy colors) to go see the Christmas lights down town... it was awesome. we started singing all the Christmas hymns and giving out navidad.mormon.org cards for the Él es la dádiva thing. Él es la Dádiva, or He is the Gift, is a Christmas thing that only 5 countries in the world are doing as missionaries. USA, Mexico, Colombia, Brasil, Argentina, and Chile. idk why its just those 5.. but its a video on youtube we are using to share the Christmas message :)

well, i cant believe its December and that I've been here over 4 months. i am so happy to be here. im so glad you guys are all doing well. remember, that even tho Christ isn't on the earth right now we must still all come unto Him through His gospel that IS here. and its TRUE. remember that the best way to turn towards Christ and come unto Him, is by turning out towards others in love. be Him by doing what He would do. i love my Savior and Brother, Jesus Christ. and muh uthuh bruthuh Kade! haha and all of you guys! Le amo mi hermanita Autumn y su ejemplo para mi y todos de nosotros. tu eres la mejor. gracias por todos! te amo!

"Oh Come All Ye Faithful" (favorite Christmas hymn) :D
