Letter Dated December 24, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad;

Well, I guess maybe we will talk, ha ha.  I have to call on the 25th, they didn't give us an option this year.  I am planning on calling at like 6 in Argentine time. so I don't really know when that will be where you guys are, ha ha.

Anyway, yea I got the letters now haha. o well.

So the activity went super.  I'll try to send some pictures that I got taken so you can see what happened. In the morning we went and sang some Christmas songs in the big park, and the main shopping center.  That was pretty fun.  Then we went and ate lunch together and talked and such. We had a pretty good little talent show, we did kinda a secret Santa exchange of gifts. That was pretty fun. It was good.  I got to see some of my missionary friends again.  Some of them I might not be able to see again.  That might be a bit sad, ha ha, but o well.

What else happened this week. So Nora and Magaline are going to get baptized this week. We are all pretty excited about that. Should be really good. We have been working along time with them.

Also we think the 12 of January we should have two more Thomas and Silvia. They both agreed to do it that day.

We had an activity in the church this week as well. That was pretty neat. we did a live nativity seen with the primary. we invited allllll the people who lived next to the church. And a few of them came. That was great.  Sparked some interest in some otherwise difficult neighbors, ha ha.

We built a dog cage this week.  Mixed cement by hand.  1st time I've ever done that one, ha ha.  Its not a lot of fun under blistering heat, ha ha.

We are teaching a guy named Rafael who could also get baptized.  He wants to.  I guess we will see what happens.  He is a nice guy, with lots of medical problems.  But he likes to read.  So that's good.

So the whole Mayan calender was a big joke out here in Argentina.  I was hoping that all the people would think it was the end of the world and repent and get baptized, but nobody really paid much attending, ha ha.  O well.  I'm sure someone will come up with something else right?

Anyway, that's about all I got to say today, uh, I have lots of pictures but its taking along time to upload cause all the computer cybers are closed and the church computer is slow as a snail at half pace. Maybe 1/4th pace.  Whew.

So I sent 1 of the choir when we went to the park to sing.

Uh.  Feliz Navidad!  I guess tonight we are eating with a member and tomorrow is a pretty relax day. Should be good.

Nos vemos manana? (Its, uh, see you tomorrow) (I had to think there). Maybe, ha ha.  If not next week well just have to email.

Love ya
