I got it like exactly a month after you sent it. I got it at our Christmas party. So when you said you were looking for me in the video, Im not sure that was our zones. There were two Christmas parties because theres so many missionaries. I did say Merry Christmas tho. haha! Im not sure if they got it on camera or not. It was on stage, I said it in English, someone said it in portugese, someone said it in spanish, and then someone said it in samoan. We watched Despicable Me 2 haha! In English!!!!

First Baptism

This week was insane. A brother in our branch was hit by a bus at work Tuesday Morning and died. So we went to the viewing that night, and the funeral the next day. We're pretty close with his family so we have been spending a lot of time with them this week and it is helping them. So the Baptism Saturday, was of Josue. His best friend who ended up doing the Baptism is the son of the guy who died Tuesday. SO everybody at the baptism was directly related to him. Our branch president is his son in law. But they were all smiling and having a good time. It was really great to see how the spirit can help those in need when it is needed. So the baptism was great. We baptized him in the river outside the city in the forest. haha. When Brian (son of Martin, the guy who died) brought Josue out of the water, he fell down. haha. SO they ended up both being wet. Brian is about 17 and Josue is about 16.

Last night we were teaching a guy the second time and he basically bore us his testimony of the church. And so nows hes getting baptized the 28th of December!!!!! Crazy! haha! Well I will send some pictures (or try). So I will have to go! I love you guys! I hope things are going good! I still havent gotten your package :( Anyways. Love you guys! Be good Emma!!!!

My first tortilla! Didnt come out quite like a honduran lady would make it but its still good!

Hey guys!! So how was your Thanksgiving? It sounds like it was great! My Thanksgiving dinner, was chicken neck soup with hearts and lungs. haha. It wasn't that bad. You just et the neck like ribs. haha. So everything is good here. It is coming up to the middle of hurricane season so its always cloudy and rainy and stuff. I got asked but an old drunk lady if she could kiss me. haha! We told her no. I made tortillas for the first time yesterday! We ate lunch at a members house and she taught us to make tortillas. They were delicious. haha.

So we have 2 serious investigators, and one family. The others want to hear the message, they're just never there when we go. One is a man named Juan, and the other a 16 year old boy named Josue.. The family we just met and the wife has lymphoma and so she wants to know why God puts trials in her life. we showed her Ether 12 and a little bit about the plan of salvation. We explained to her that trials are for our benefit and Heavenly Father uses them to lift us up. Sometimes its not in this life, we receive those blessings in the next. I love you guys much!!! I haven't seen any nativity scenes here. haha. So I wouldn't know. Love you!!!
