¡Feliz NaviDAD! Hope everyone is having a good Christmas. I’m gonna keep this email pretty short today and just fill everyone in on how we celebrate Christmas out here in Mexico!
Well first off, we eat lots and lots of tamales ha (pretty sure I’ve ate tamales at least twice or three times a week all of December) lol. Oh, and Sunday night Elder Carreon and I actually got to learn how to make some tamales, so HMU when I get home if you want some "rico tamales"!
Sunday the 24th Elder Carreon and I gave talks in sacrament meeting once again. I talked about our Savior Jesus Christ and the true meaning of Christmas and then I talked a little bit about ward missionary work. I shared D&C 18:10-16 which brought both topics together really well because these verses talk about our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ and his sacrifice so all of us have the opportunity to repent, and then about the joy that we can receive from missionary work!
After church we went and ate lunch and then went back to the church to get ready to skype our families. It was way weird to speaks some English ha at some points I was actually translating my thoughts from Spanish to English so I could talk with the fam ha. Anyways, it was good to talk with the family, can’t wait to skype again on Mother’s Day!
After we finished skyping our families last night; we went over to a member’s house and ate some dinner and then helped prepare some tamales! The surgeon’s hands aren’t only good for sewing ties ha-ha turns out they are actually way good for making some tamales hah!
Thanks for all the love! Don’t forget the true meaning of Christmas!
