Dear Family,
Christmas was good. :) It was probably one of my favorites. First of all there was the Christmas Eve thing we did for the Hermana which was super awesome and then on Saturday for the baptism everything went well! On Friday night it didn't seem like the Elder from Utah was going to make it so Mayra flipped a coin between Me and Elder Taylor to do the baptism. I won. :) So I did the baptism! It was so awesome! :) Except that the church doesn't have a water heater... So the water was about the temperature of ice. But it just added to the funness right? :) We tried boiling water and dumping it in but it didn't work at all. It was so spiritual and awesome though. :) Yesterday we went by their house again at night and she was so happy and she said she felt changed and David (her husband who is a member) said when she went under the water he got a lump in his throat and was so happy. It was so great. :)
Ha the rest of Christmas was alright! I bashed my shin open on a church chair when we were playing zombies. It's pretty good! Looks great! I should have taken a picture. blood was running down my leg and it looked pretty sweet. It took till the next morning until it stopped bleeding. Fun stuff!
Dang that's too bad with the plumbing... Good luck with that stuff. Hopefully it won't get too bad. you sure do have to laugh when things keep going bad. :) I've had some of those moments for sure! It just makes things better when you laugh at them.
Things are going good. I feel like I'm just in like a rut right now and I'm trying to get out. I feel like I'm getting lazier and lazier... No bueno. Truthfully it's Elder Taylor rubbing off on me... I noticed it this past week that I'm becoming like him in some ways and I don't like it at all. Like complaining about everything and we plop at members houses too much. I just don't have the energy to do things so well anymore and yeah... Meh. Transfers are in 2 weeks so I just kinda gotta hope that we will change but until then work harder than ever. It's going to be just great. Oh well I guess! Nothing else I can do really.
Well that's it for this week! the Skype thing wasn't near as bad as I though it would be and Christmas in general wasn't too bad either. It was good! I just need to get over this rut thing right now. That's it though! So thanks for everything! Love you! Happy New Year! Good luck with all the grumpy crazy kids and house appliances.

Hi guys!
I'm way happy that the Lord is looking out for you guys. I think I can hopefully make my bike last out the next 17 months. And as far as iPads go, as far as I'm concerned, it's just a myth. They're never coming. They say they will but they mean when the millennium comes. Man that's so cool about Dad's book and the letter and everything. And McDonalds with Sam too! Man that all is just so cool! That makes me really happy. :)
Oh it's alright with the call. I'll still do that. It's just going to be hard but it will be good! It will be nice to see you guys again! Um I really don't know when we will be doing it... Elder Taylor is being difficult. We're going to a member's house to do it but I don't know what time. Maybe like 10 or so? I'm just guessing so I really have no idea. Sorry...
Sounds like a fun week. :) I love you!
Well this last week not much happened. I got sick so it's just been kinda miserable trying to push through the work with a cold. It's all good though. It's pretty much done with by now which is a blessing for sure. I just kinda saw it like a challenge to see if I could stick out working with being sick. It was good. And my voice was super deep which made my spanish sound awesome. I sounded like a Mexican Gangster.
Yesterday we sang Silent Night for our branch during sacrament! It was super nice and we did really well I feel like especially because I wasn't the only one sick. I don't really have anything else interesting that happened from last week. Sorry.
Everything here is just weird when it comes to Christmas. It doesn't feel like it's here at all. The weather is too warm and I don't know! It just doesn't feel like it. I am pretty excited though! We all as a district have a bunch of fun stuff planned for the week. We're going caroling on Christmas Eve and then in the morning on Christmas we're going to meet together super early and play this zombie game we've been playing recently. I guess I can talk about that!
So the Zombie game is super fun. It started out as us playing sardines in the church which is super fun but this zombie thing is crazy. So one of us is a zombie and goes and hides. All the lights are out in the church and everyone has something like a flashlight or a nerf gun. Then we go out and if the zombie kills you you become a zombie too. But you can kill the zombie for like 10 seconds or so. It's really fun. :) Super scary though and it really is like super creepy and stuff. We're playing it today. :) It's pretty much all that anyone in the district has been thinking about recently. Since we can't have normal things entertain us we make games like this which is so much fun!
So yeah I guess that's it for the week! I'll see you guys on Thursday I guess sometime with Skype! I have no idea how it's going to work out or anything but it will. I love you and miss you! Merry Christmas!
Love you!
