Guess who got his Christmas package already!

Yea I haven't opened everything just yet, but I already pulled out the missionaries action figures and took a funny picture with them.

yea I ran into Elder Cox after a training meeting with the president and a rumor passed around that my primo (cousin) was in the Mission Office because his companion works there right now. So after the meeting I ran over to the office and when I walk in I was super surprised. There sitting on the couch was Elder Cox and I didn't believe it so I threw my backpack off and gave him a big huge and we took a picture. It was really weird because he called me by my first name and I haven't heard that for a long time. Yea you can tell by his face that he is totally shell shocked ha-ha.

This week was pretty sweet because the couple that we have been working with went and saw a baptism the other day and they loved it and an Irmã from the church gave and awesome testimony. But they slept in for church the next day so that part stinks. Also we are teaching a really cool Bolivian who lives in São Remo which is a huge Favela in our area and he is the nicest and coolest person you will find here. We marked him the 3rd of December for baptism. Also I found out that the new Chapel in our area will delay a little more until the end of December so we have to grit our teeth and bear through it for now in our other capela. Things are going alright in our area and transfers came and went and we are still together so that is pretty sweet. I am ready to see our area fly now and get everyone excited again. I love my area because it is a hug challenge and it is going to be so worth it in the long run. I love the pictures dad obrigado (thank you).

Mom since my package already showed up can I have another one ha-ha. Yea if you could I would like my line of authority and if all possible root beer. Yea I know its random, but that's one thing that they don't have down here and we have been talking about it a lot now ha-ha. Feel free to throw in more goodies if you want. All the elders said my package was the coolest, most decorated package they have ever seen so congratulations on that part ha-ha. I love you all so very much and I was so happy to get an email from Dustin, I already sent him an email. I will talk to you guys face to face here in a bit so get excited!

Te Amo

So that can of pop is super hard to get here because it is only made in Salvador and is shipped over here.

                                                  

Below is a picture that I took of the garland of letters  I sent to Elder Crandall in his Christmas box. Thank you everyone who wrote a letter for elder Crandall's Christmas garland. I thought it turned out well and I know he will enjoy reading all of them for Christmas.
