Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and may this letter find
you all well and happy!
This Christmas and New Years in a few words was fattening.
We have received two boxes full of food that we have received from the branch
and members. So that was loads of fun; we weren't expecting it at least.
As far as my Christmas stories go, we were quite happy when
on Christmas day we were able to find a few people with skype and talk with
them. But we had some more good experiences that need to be told. We found that
many, many people that travel. Including the people we least expected. So we're
looking for new people to teach and baptize. That's an adventure and a problem
for us for now. But we have had a few fun things happen. We sang at the branch Christmas
party, which we sang, I got to play the Violin (endless happy faces) and then
we had to run, but don't worry, the members brought us half a cow after.
And
then the work part of everything. We got to work with a cool Christmas video
that I hope everyone got to see! We actually used it to teach a few people. But
in the course of the week, we got our faces painted with green mud, a bird came
into our apartment and Elder Verissimo got to hold it a bit, we got rained
on... twice and Elder Ibarra (our other companionship in the apartment) Cried.
We think he was feeling the after effects of the call home, but were all happy
to be on the mission, and I hope you all are well and having a Happy New Year.
Elder Joel A. Smith
PS I would have sent pictures too, but the computer is
having issues this week!
