This week went pretty fabulously though. The Rodriguez
family are still progressing wonderfully. They might or might now have
rescued us in the snow yesterday. Our cars were grounded and so we were
out walking in the snow (yes, SNOW) okay okay. More like Ice with a
little sprinkling of white stuff on the top. As they were driving us
back Brother Rodriguez might or might not have purposefully spun a few
doughnuts...he hem. Let's just say this here missionaries heart hadn't
thumped that hard for a while. 'Twas scary. And obedient? *cough* he
hem. eeehh.
Christmas was wonderful. We spent it with a few
families and I honestly felt right at home. I mean, with all of the kids
crawling around you, pulling your hair and yes, perhaps planting a huge
slobbery wet kiss on your cheek, and then the parents just being
laughing bystanders as you try to fight them off, yes. Was one wonderful
day.
President surprised all of us on Thursday when he
walked right into the middle of District Meeting. Poor Elder Moore, he's
already pretty white (it's okay. He accepts it) and his face turned
completely chalk pale.(He's our District leader by the way so he was
doing the training) Did one swell job though! Fun fact. I've actually
served with Elder Moore for almost 8 months out of my mission! He was in
my very first district.
So mom and dad..we might or might not have taken Communion on christmas eve night.
All
is well though! No worries, the church is still true. An Investigator
invited us and the elders to a Christmas Eve candlelit ceremony Thursday
night at her Methodist church. Hey! We love church swaps! So we went
and oh boy, 'twas quite the experience! All the way from the choirs 100
year old looking robes, to holding apostate candles, (no fire for us,
remember?), and then standing in-line to eat of some pretty good tasting
french bread and grape juice. It was actually a pretty comical sight I
can imagine, 4 awkward LDS missionaries all nervous in line, looking
around, wondering if this is sacrilegious or not..Glad we went though!
It was really a beautiful service. Like that there Methodist church.
Truly some of the nicest preachers we've run into have been Methodist :)
We
actually went on exchanges for the first half of this week with a
couple of companionship's and so not too much has happened this week but
hey! Good thing the Atonement is real! 'Twill have much more to report
on next week, to be sure.
Love you all, sorry I didn't send any pics this week. The computer's being slightly dumb.
