Dearest Family and Friends,
Thank you all for your love and
support this week! It was so good to see my family on Wednesday! I miss you all
so much and I'm glad to know that you're doing okay. You all look and sound great!
After that we went to district meeting where we had a very instructive
training on how to sip hot cocoa from a tim tam cookie ;) After that we did a
white elephant and I got some froggy socks!!! We then proceeded to give out
cookies to as many investigators as possible, in the process setting up two
dinners for that night. I've never eaten more meat in my life! We have agreed
that we are going to try as hard as possible to only eat vegetarian this week!
We talked with our families around four which was probably the best present of
the day! I call it my little family-in-a-box. The time went altogether way too
fast! Afterward, I felt like I was in two places at once, because I was walking
around in 89 degrees Florida but my heart was still in chilly Utah with my
family for Christmas Day.
After that we went to the Arguetas and had more food
with them (bleh!) and taught one of our investigators named Miguel about the
meaning behind Christmas. The day was a huge success and so much
fun!
The rest of the week went by really fast. We did exchanges
and another Hermana named Hermana Rasmussen came down and we taught with her. We
had so much fun laughing and sharing stories about the mission. We went to a less-active members and he was really funny because he was trying to talk in
English. Bless his heart, he was trying to say that he danced the "limbo" but he
kept saying the "bimbo." We all tried so hard to stifle our laughter.
Well that's my week in a nutshell hope yours was just as fantastic! Loves
all around!
Sincerely,Hermana Mathis
