whoot
whoot! 23 of diciembre! 2 days until christmas! apparently christmas in
guatemala is a lot different than in the states! people here love fireworks.
for the past month, its just firework after firework after firecracker all day
long. all day long. and im told on christmas night, its jsut a giant firework
fest wherever youre at. also, we have permision to be out later on
christmas night to watch it! which is awesome! we just have to be in the house
of a leader from our ward, and we can stay out until 1230 watching the
fireworks and spending christmas! so just know that i will be spening the
fourth of july on the 24th of december! but thinking about santa and the
savior!
anyways, this past
week we had a christmas activity with all of the zones in the city! president
markham made us pancakes and hot chocolate, and then we played some games. he
then proceeded to do a nativity scene, in which missionaries participated! he
told us that ever since he was a little boy, they have done this tradition
every year. someone reads from the book of lucas the story of the birth of
jesus, and they act it out as they go, so that was kind of neat to participate
in!
we havent had any more
baptisms yet, but we are trying like crazy! hopefullly we can baptize in the
next few weeks, because we have some good families! anyways, not much time to
write, but i just wanted to wish you all a very merry christmas! i hope you all
have a wonderful holiday season, spend time with family, and remember jesus!
love you all!
