Chapter 25: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas


But this week we've had a few fun things happen:
1. We had our Christmas activities as a mission! It was a really fun time! We had two activities, one with one half of the mission, another with the other half and well, I went to both. It was a really fun to spend some time with all the other missionaries and I'm super grateful that as a secretary I get to know everyone at least a little bit!

Also I get to have Christmas dinner with the mission president and his fam and I am STOKED (I'll try to remember to take pictures)

2. IM GOING TO HAVE MY FIRST BAPTISM TOMORROW WOOHOOOOOOOOO
His name is Jorge, he's in his early 50s and was a contact of Elder Chinchilla and Elder Mesa (I replaced Elder Mesa) but Elder Chinchilla and I have been the ones to teach him most of the lessons and whatnot. I'm so excited because I got to watch his belief grow and got to watch how the Gospel has blessed his life in various ways. I'll DEFINITELY have pics of the baptism tomorrow. I'm so excited, he's already passed his interview and everything.

But anyway, Christmas is this coming week, and I can't wait to talk to my family! Also, on the 27th I hit 6 months in the mission and honestly, the time has flown by! That's a quarter of my mission already in the past!

Anyway, I'm sure I'll get real sentimental next week, but I hope you all enjoy your Christmas, may Santa stuff your stockings silly (I still love alliterations).

Yours truly,
Ya boi

Merry Christmas

A pie that the Bishop's family from my last ward baked for me when they learned I was getting transfered! Me blinking in front of the Comayagua sign (ft. Elder Murray) Pics with my boy at the temple! (ft. my new suit) Food storage!   Hey guys! Kinda crazy how much the world has changed in these last 7 days. Here's what's new with me: Transfers: I'M FINALLY TRAINING A NEW MISSIONARY!!!! Woohoo! His name is Elder Nabaum, he's from Heber City, Utah. He's a great guy! I'm opening an area in a city called Juticalpa! It's really hot and humid here, but I'm loving it! We're assigned to a small branch called Belen (hence the subject line) and so far so good! We've still only met a few of the members (because thanks to Coronavirus, we didn't have sacrament meeting yesterday) but we're out here doing our best! I'm really happy and we totally called it this transfer! We've been predicting this transfer for a couple weeks now! What is wei...

District Pedicures My Companion and I experiencing a pedicure for the first time Elder Murray dulling our only good knife Celebrating my 20 months on the mission with Cinnabon William's baptism!   Hey guys! This week it was overcast and slightly raining for 3 days which made the weather not that hot for those days, so that was a blessing William's Baptism: Saturday was leap day we celebrated with a baptism!! Our boy William was baptized on Saturday, and even though he doesn't smile in any pictures, we promise he was really happy that day! He's such a wholesome kid and he's really smart too! This week we're going to teach him about the priesthood to prep him to receive the Aaronic Priesthood this week or next! District Pedicures: Our good friend Hermana Cox is ending her mission this week and may have convinced our whole district to get pedicures together... So I got my first pedicure this week. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think it was reall...
