And the beginning of the new Christmas time!
Thanksgiving was amazing this week! I actually got to celebrate it here in the office! Last year in Sabana Larga we couldn't do anything, but oh well haha. We went to the Mission Home to eat a big Turkey dinner with President and the family and with the north american missionaries and their companions from our zone here in Barranquilla. It was a really special experience and fun to be able to celebrate it even though I believe I ate a lot less this year than I ever have. ;)
So wow this week has been so amazing! I am honestly and truly so excited for this whole season of gratitude and of remembering Christ. I don't know if you all have seen the new video for Christmas this year in lds.org. Oh it is SOOO amazing! The song is very beautiful as well! ;) It would be cool if like Craig Kaelin could transcribe it on sheet music to play or something! ;) It is amazing! Oh but the best part is what we are going to be having the opportunity to do in this month of December! Days of service everyday until Christmas! Here in the mission we are going to be doing it as well and we are so pumped about it here in the office because all the rest of the missionaries don't know yet! hee hee ;) On monday President is going to talk to us and give us instructions, to the secretaries, and then on tuesday each of us are going to be traveling to the other cities/zones in the mission to give the instructions to the missionaries! It will be so legit! Elder Pucha is going to Cartagena with one of the Assistants, Elder De La Cruz. Elder Troche is going to Santa Marta with another Assistant, Elder Piedra. Elder Matos and Elder Hansen and the other Assistant Elder Permenter are going to Valledupar. And then Elder Bustos, President, and I are going to give the instructions here in Barranquilla to the zones here. It will be such a neat experience and really I want to invite each of you that you can do the activities every day in this month of December. I know that if we do the Spirit of Christ will truly and surely dwell within our hearts even more than ever before. He lives and this time especially is for Him and to give back to Him for all that He has given us.
Well that is all my friends and family. I love you all so much! happy thanksgiving to all and a Merry Christmas season!
But it's ok about last week! DOn't worry a bit! I'm glad you got to go to that event. I'm sorry you and Bryce have been a little under the weather.... Thanksgiving here was great! We went to the Mission Home for dinner with Turkey and everything with President and the family and with the north american missionaries in our zone here in Barranquilla. It was fun, but I think I ate the least amount I ever have in my life for Thanksgiving.
Um well I think I will write my weekly letter now. I'm gonna send some fun fotos of my new lego set as well. ;) But those fotos probably shouldn't go to the whole world to see hahaha ;)
Love you!
Love,

Yeah so President asked me at lunch yesterday how much time I had in the office and I said more than 6 months acting like it was a lot of time and President said "Oh! You've still got at least 3 more months!" So who knows... We'll see about that too haha ;)
