Merry Christmas!

Well, here's Christmas. I can't believe that it just snuck right up on us! That came so quick! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

We are super excited here for Christmas! It has been great because it seems like everyone is more happy, which also means that they are more receptive! So that's great! We have been having a great time this week! We have found a lot of new people and eveyone that we have are progressing really well! 

There's not many stories to tell this week, other thn the fact that we've been tearing it up! We have been doing so well together! I love working with Elder Virga, he's awesome! We work so well together and we are having a blast here in the sector. There is so much work to do!

Anyway, to answer a question I think everyone has, How is Christmas in Chile? Well it's very different than in the states. It isn't as big of a deal, people just usually spend it with their family. But it is different how they do it. They call Santa Claus "El Viajito Pascuero" which basically means "the Old Guy of the Passover." I don't know where they got that from. But here, El Viajito Pascuero comes at midnight Christmas Eve (so today), so all the kids leave the house to watch fireworks at 12 at night and then when they get back in, the Viajito Pascuero had passed, so that's when they open up presents!

(This was a long email so I'll send you another with pictures)

So the first picture is the Meza Family. They were great and I worked with them the whole time I was in Covarrubias. I'll miss them a lot.

The second one is in the Subway this morning. The whole zone went to sing Christmas hymns in the subway this morning. Super fun!

And then the last one is me and Purnell with the Pezoa family. They were great!
