Christmas Report

Hola a todos!!! Christmas was an amazing day!!! Christmas Eve a family invited us over to do some of the family festivities that they do. First we did a little skit (without acting it out) about the Christmas stories in the Book of Mormon and in the Bible, then one of the son-in laws read the Christmas story in Krio ( mixture of English, french and some African dialects) it was so weird because you can actually understand it!! but it was so hard reading it. Then we did a christmas gift exchange where we read the "Night before Christmas" and whenever we hear the words "the" or "night" we were to pass the gifts.

Christmas day we went to a members home for breakfast. Their sons birthday was that day so they had pancakes, bacon, sausage, tamales, eggs and the whole 10 yards ( the phrase 9 yards does not make sense to me because 9 is not a full 10) Anyways later we were able to skype home and that was amazing!!! What made it even better was getting to see 4 grandparents, 2 cousins, and 1 uncle as well :) we then had 2 dinners to end the day. When we could we would walk around and if people were outside we would wish them a merry Christmas and give them a "He is the Gift" card.

 Friday we had two lessons. One was with JR and his family (parents are members and he is not) we went over the Priesthood and Missionary work with him.Then we stopped by another LA/PM family and shared the Christmas video with them ad they really enjoyed it. Last night we taught Paris and she is just waiting to get paperwork from Salt Lake. We taught about Agency and Accountability and we asked her mom (whose is a short, old Hispanic lady with a testimony like diamond because it is so pure and nobody could ever break it) She told us that she has been praying for the chance for her daughter to come back to the church and she is so grateful!! I love Sis. Barton! She treats us like her grand kids it is so funny.

well 2014 has been exciting and I am now reaching the end of my dark year and I will be home this next year.

Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, He loves every single one of us and I know he lives!!!

I love you all!!!
