We've broken out the Christmas music and depending what happens in transfers next week we'll setting up a decorations too. Ecuador started getting ready for Christmas in October because since they don't have Halloween or Thanksgiving there isn't really any other commercialized holiday for them to get ready for, so, Christmas starts in November around here.
I do miss thanksgiving, there are lots of great things that come with it, but we're also pretty happy about Christmas, although it's hot, humid, and the missionaries don't have family close by... The truth is that Christmas is one of the most tricky days of the year. :P BUT that's ok because we're doing something even better out here; missionary work!
Not too shabby either, we got to baptise our golden investigators this last weekend. :D
Isabel and Krystal have been investigating the Church for about a month and a half. We got along well in the first visit where they proclaimed "I feel a lot better talking to you guys than the Jehovah's Witnesses!" They read the first 14 chapters of the book of Mormon without us even telling them to. Right now they're almost finished with 2 Nephi
The members bug us about them because of that little bundle of joy in the red shirt. That's Jahir, my best friend. I have to be very clear that he's my friend and not my son because the members ask sometimes.
We actually aren't sure how he came out like that... He's Isabel's son and he's 100% latino, but he looks like a gringo. We contacted her because she was standing in front of her house with him waiting for the water truck to pass by, the blonde hair caught out attention. Go figure...
Isabel has a son and Krystal has a mother and a sister who are will probably be the next to be baptised, I however probably won't be here due to the fact I probably have transfers next week. I've said that before though... the problem is that I'm terrible at predicting transfers. As the good book says: "Believe in God..." "...believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend." -Mosiah 4:9
Things around here having been going pretty good, we're working hard and staying low on stress for the most part. I hope all is well back home! don't be too busy!
hay que desfrutar la vida también. :)
Love, Cameron
