So this week on Tuesday, we had our Mission Christmas Conference. It was in Florianopolis, so we took a bus there with a bunch of missionaries. It was a lot of fun! Floripa is so cool! And it was so good to see all my friends again at the conference. President gave a couple talks, and we had lunch and then some funny presentations given by some of the districts. It was a good time!
This week seemed super busy! Me and Elder Val were in the choir for our Ward Christmas party on Saturday so we had to practice that a lot throughout the week. I love the ward here. There are so many cool people in this ward and they go ALL OUT for activities here! haha for the Christmas party, there was a play, and they made this huge nativity set on the stage for the play. It turned out to be super cool and everyone loved it. I was happy that I got to participate in the choir, even though I hate singing! haha but it was a really good time. I have a lot of fun with Elder Val, and also with the members of the ward.
Yesterday, there was a Stake Christmas Devotional. It was really good. It was full of music and had pictures of our Savior on a projector. I felt the Spirit way strong at the Devotional. It is the first time here that I have felt the Christmas Spirit, cuz it is so different from home! haha. I never thought I'd say this, but I just want it to snow here! haha I MISS THE SNOW! Christmas just isnt the same without family, friends, and snow.
This week we taught Marcelo again. His wife wasnt able to be there for the lesson, so we met with him. He is doing good! In January, his working on Sundays will end, so he will be able to start coming to church with his family. We are planning on meeting again with them this week and teaching his wife the first lesson.
We didnt have a whole lot of teaching time this week, cuz things fell through and we were busy with Christmas stuff, but this week will be great! I cant believe that Christmas is a week from tomorrow. I am sooo excited to call you all and talk to you guys!!! I love you all and I will email you guys next week and then the next day I'll CALL you guys :) Love you!!! Tell Morgan that I love her too! And you guys have fun at the Howard Christmas party. Tell everyone that I say hi!
Love,
Elder Howard
