Making pancakes and torta fritas at the church.
Tuesday- We had district meeting. We did A LOT of contacting today and gave out all of our He is the Gift cards! Had a couple good lessons
Wednesday- We had a couple appointment but they fell through. Tried a little contacting. We got to Skype today and that was GREAT! at midnight there were fireworks for Christmas. Everyone just shoots them off.
Thursday- Today was Christmas. We made torta fritas in the morning. Then went to the church and had lunch with the other missionaries. We then just relaxed. Then at night we visited a family and made more torta fritas with them.
Friday- we made our own lunch today. Had chicken and vegetables and it was delicious. We planned week. And we had a few good lessons
Saturday-Had some good lessons with recent converts and with a few investigators today.
Sunday- Church. Our water was shut off during midday today. And today was really hot. We did a lot of walking today. Had a few lessons but others fell through.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! And have a great New Year!

From Andrea:
We had an amazing visit with Tyler on Christmas Eve. He looks so good and so happy. We loved watching him interact with the Arpones family and with Elder Diaz. They were having an asado (BBQ) and Tyler happily ate an empanada while we talked. We talked for just under an hour and a half, and before he hung up he bore his testimony in Spanish and we had a family prayer. It was wonderful and even though I miss him terribly, the time is going so quickly and he is so happy.
You can listen to him bear his testimony in Spanish HERE.
