12.7.15 - Navidad, lluvia, y mi pobre arbolito con el luz de Cristo. :)

Hola!

This week has been eventful, we went to Guayaquil to attend the temple and have a multi-zone conference with president Riggins on Thursday.  He always sends us to the temple for zone meetings, it's very important to him and I don't really complain, we get to stay the night in the temple hotel where there´s AC and hot showers, something that we don´t usually get to have.

Just before we left to go to Guayaquil, babahoyo got its first winter rain which drenched us.



Rain here means play time for the local kids.  Everyone takes off their clothes and run through the flooded allies.  Their parents don't seem to care that EcuaRain is SUPER dirty and most people get sick at this time of year because the dirt on the roofs and the pee in the streets gets kicked up into the air by the rain, I´m no exception to the sickness.
I´ve had cold symptoms for over a month now. :P

At the meeting, Sister Riggins gave us a briefing and ¨El Niño¨ and confirmed that it´s is very possible that it will hit the mission this winter and gave us the commandment to buy canned food and extra water bottles in case we get trapped in our apartments. FUN :D



Other news is that my packages came last week.  I´m enjoying the Christmas Spirit with Christmas music, a paper snow globe and my Charly Brown tree with its bright green lights.

We went to the Christmas devotional broadcast on Sunday as well.  We took a few investigators to hear mom sing.  Yes, I did see her on screen a few different times.
I liked what President Uchdorf said about the Christmas lights, I thought, my Charly Brown tree is pretty cool because it has green lights on it.

It was also really cool what he said about the Choir and how angels likely listened to the beautiful music and perhaps sang along too.  way to go MoTab!

Christmas season is great, even though its SUPER humid and SUPER hot the Christmas spirit still exists.  However, Christmas for me has always been better with bitter cold weather, hot chocolate by the fireside and family.  I just have to wait for next year. :P

I hope all is well back home, all is well here.  Remember to enjoy the season and the cold weather.  I love you all!
