This week we invited lots and lots of less active members to the Christmas party. We ended up having around 60 people or so show up. It was a lot of fun and the food was unbelievable! Lechon Baboy (that's the pig) and Poso (the rice in the palm fronds.) Elder Cottle and I ended up doing an impromptu musical number. We sang If You Could Hie to Kolob Israel Israel God is Calling and Joseph Smith's First prayer all to the same tune. It was great. We also had some investigators who came. Overall everyone had a great time.
We went on exchanges on Wednesday. I have a lot to learn in the language still but I feel confident enough to work an area without my trainer.
On Sunday night we received a text from our Zone Leaders saying that our numbers were consistently high over the past few weeks and that they were proud we had helped so many people. It was nice to have some encouragement from them. It seems like every night we come home tired and exhausted. That's okay though. Something would be wrong if we weren't coming home tired.
We have a Baptism tomorrow!!!! Angelo Sinining is so ready to be baptized! He is prepared and excited to hold the priesthood. He has become really good friends with the Branch President's son. They both committed to prepare to serve missions. They're so awesome!
I'm doing great. We rearranged our apartment to make things more productive and give ourselves more light and space. It's surprising what little changes can more fully invite the Spirit.
We're going to Palompon on Wednesday morning to Skype and then a district meeting. We're probably going to be on around 9 am our time which i think is about 6 pm Arizona time. I'm just going to use my old Skype so there shouldn't be any problems.
All in all I'm doing great still. Just putting all my effort into every hour and loving it out here. Thanks so much for the prayers and support! Love you all!
