How is everyone!? Is it a white christmas?, because here it is! (white baptismal clothes)
We jsut had three baptisms. Lautero, Mauro, y Amanda! they are legit. i love them. I had the opportunity to baptize Lautero (lauti) and it was awesome!! I didn´t even mess up the prayer!
It was kinda cool too... i felt like i actually contributed to their conversion because Mauro and Lauti chose me to do the baptism. But I guess that there is an unwritten rule that i can´t baptise mroe than one person or something. ahah but it was still a good feeling to get chosen.
Its amazing how fast Christmas is coming. Its only been like 3 months sicne i´ve left!! weird. Ill be calling you guys in a week! Maybe i´ll be skyping, who knows.
Recently, we had transfers so now I have a new companion!! his name is elder richter from Lousiana. He´s been out for 14 months and he has the language down really good. elder larson is stayin in my pension and he´s going to be a trainer!! so we´ll be having a newby in our pension.... probably a latino.... who will speak better than me.... :P but whatev. Im staying in the same area, La Madrid/20 de Junio. Me and my companion work in 20 de Junio but our pension is in la madrid witht he other elders.
For christmas here its kinda like a fourth of july. they light off fireworks at midnight and then they dish out the presents that night. its pretty intense. we´ll be chilling at the Urquiza´s house for that night then we´ll be chilling at the church the whole christmas day playing ping pong and stuff. so we´ll see what happens!!
What are your plans for christmas? anything out of the ordindary?
I heard that the ward party/caroling went pretty good. I love that day. definitely one of my favorite days of the year.
When are the Castagnetto´s going to move? same with the Holmsteads?. haha
stuff this week:
1. baptisms!!!! legit!!!

What do you all want for christmas?
I hope we can all remember that Christmas is all about gifts. Gifts we can give to others. But most importantly the Gift that our Heavenly Father gave us, Jesus Christ. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and I can´t wait to talk with you all!!
Hasta Luego!
