HAPPY NAVIDAD AND FELIZ NEW YEAR

These past couple weeks have gone by super quick!

Last Wednesday we had the ward christmas dinner which was super fun. The food was great and many members brought friends that we were able to talk to. I think I've already mentioned that my companion dances semi professionally, but if I haven't now you know haha. Anyways the members talked him into asking permission to dance in a dance competition at the dinner and the president gave him permission! However, they started so late that we had to go before the dinner competition which stunk, but besides that it was fun.

A senior missionary couple serving in Mexico City visited Veracruz.  The Elder served there as a missionary
when he was young.  They emailed us these pictures!

Dinner at the Carrillo's

The next day we went as a zone to a hospital and sang Christmas songs and I dressed up as Santa. That was fun too but I was dying in the heat... We were there for like 2 hours.

Friday was zone conference. At the zone conference, we talked about being simple and clear in the lessons and finding joy in every moment, even in the rejections. We also did sketches that we prepared which were funny and then we had a nice lunch. I was super happy because it wasn't pizza... It's always pizza.

On Christmas day we went to the Presidents house for breakfast as a zone, and then my comp and I went and ate lunch with some members and then skyped home which was great and then we went to eat dinner. All in all it was a good Christmas Day. Today we have a few dinner appointments as well to celebrate the new year.

This Saturday we are hoping for three baptisms! Two brothers, Bryan (12)and Jose (9), and the 16 year old kid who has struggled with receiving an answer named Ricardo! Pray for them so that everything goes well! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
