Feliz Navidad a todos! Merry Christmas to all of you!

We had a great week, one of my favorite Christmas'es ever!!


I was so excited that my Christmas package arrived a little early, but I waited until Christmas to open it. Here I am opening my package Christmas morning... Thanks for the Christmas stockings filled with yummy candy, the socks, a watch, and much more.

A quick recap on our week...

On Monday, we had a white elephant gift exchange as a zone which was pretty funny and enjoyable.
After, we watched the movie, Polar Express. Elder Matheson and I baked chocolate chip cookies and snicker doodles (shout out to Bekah for the awesome recipe) and hot chocolate and we threw the cookies to people and ran in with the hot chocolate during the hot chocolate scene from the movie. It was really fun and made for a great P-day.

 
We also spent a good part of the week in the hospital.

On Friday we had our Christmas conference and dinner with President.
Decorating for the Christmas program with Ernesto
 
 As a zone, we did a short play about Christmas here in the Americas when they were going to put to death all the believers unless the sign came. I got to be the bad guy.

It was a great conference! I love President Rodriguez. He is an amazing man and I know he has been called of God!













Yesterday as a zone we went to a big Plaza. We spent a good bit of time the past few days wrapping up Books of Mormon and yesterday we gave them out to people in the Plaza! It was really cool to have people unwrap their gift and tell them why it was the best gift we could give them! Afterwards we sang Christmas hymns!

Last night we ate dinner with Olga and got to stay up until midnight (here everyone eats Christmas dinner at that time)


There were fireworks everywhere at midnight and today we both have stomach aches from eating so much food so late at night.

Oh as for the hospital, everything is okay haha. There was a missionary that got pretty sick so we  went to visit him and take him food. Gotcha mom!

We made these handmade Christmas stockings
I am really grateful for Christmas! There is no better time to remember the Savior of the World, who gave up His glory to come as a babe in the humblest of circumstances. He did all of it because He loves us.

Merry Christmas!
