Good Morning!

This was a good week. Between the food, the company, the Christmas Spirit and a few short minutes of seeing your faces, I would say it has been a good Christmas. I am glad to hear that things went well at home also. This week has gone really fast in terms of it being Christmas, but it has been REALLY slow in terms of missionary work. Many of our investigators have told us that we can come back to see them after the new year because they are going to be out vacationing. Familia Sanchez said they won't be back until the 16th of January... So it has been kind of difficult to get appointments set up, and I can relate with the sisters there at home; lately there just hasn't been much to do. However, we did have 3 appointments the 24th. They were dinner appointments with members. 3 dinners in a row.... It went well, although, Elder Soza and I were a little bit sick after we left the office after Skyping (ok, actually a lot sick...we were stuck in bed until the next morning...). Elder Soza is still a little bit sick, but I am feeling much better. As you can see in the pictures, we did another early morning beach trip with the assistants Christmas morning to see the sunrise. From there it was off to the office so everyone could talk with their families! Yesterday we had a ward Christmas Dinner, and that was pretty fun. Members had brought friends and family with them that are not members, so we are hopeful with the references that we received. Other than that, there isn't much to say this week... I forwarded pictures of our Zone Christmas party with President and Hermana Glazier. That was a lot of fun as well. We just played some games that are family traditions for them, and afterward we went back to work. Sorry I don't have much more to say today. I am sure the pictures will say more. I love you guys. Have a great week! See you in two.
