Hello everyone!
Last Friday President Riggins came to Babahoyo and the other zones in the mission to show us all a video that the Church put out for Christmas.
We got to see it early so that we could know what was comming and that we could start handing out pass-along cards promoting the video.
I went up yesterday (Sunday) and I thought I'd start sharing by sharing it with all my friends and family back home. :)
BOOM, LINK!
Things this week have been going well enough. We've hit a few walls but that's ok -Walls exist for a reason; getting around them is part of the intended path.
We're getting things ready for Christmas and the new year. People are starting to make their año viejos to burn on new year's night.
New Year is a bigger party than Christmas, I'm not too sure why, I like Christmas best.
Christmas is cool for missionary work because people are already thinking about Christ or know that they ought to be, so teaching lessions is a little bit easier. That and we can carol and stuff!
I did miss Thanksgiving. If a remember right, I ate two rolls that I bought on the street on Thanksgiving. They were over salty and a little stale. They aren't anything like the fresh buttery rolls that thanksgiving ought to have. *sigh* People generally don't eat turkey here, apparently it's expensive. I've never had a turkey sandwich here... when I mention the legendary "turkey sandwich" people look at me funny and ask "¿existe jamón de pavo?"
¡SI! (yes, sometimes my emails require google translate)
Yeah... I'll be home for Christmas however. ...next year. :) Thanks for sending pictures of thanksgiving, it's cool to see everyone. I'm starting to locate members with computers here that we can use to call on Christmas.
I hope all is well back home and I'll be writing soon. :)
Love, Cameron
