Christmas was AWESOME!! People have so much fun here with loads and loads of fireworks, the sky was lit up all night. We had an amazing zone conference and Elder Blanco gave a really inspirational talk about our purpose especially during this time about the birth of Christ. Christmas Eve we had dinner twenty times and ate the same thing every time, noodles, banana chips, and a chicken leg or something.
Really good but I almost threw up it was so much. We were running late every time and eating so fast that they thought we liked it so much and wanted more. Overall lots of teaching and lots of fun!! The next day I woke up with a raging headache and it lasted all through the weekend. Taught Veronica again on Thursday and she has changed so much, she almost made me cry but I held it together, and she came to church for the first time yesterday too!
A perfect day to come because we had four confirmations for the four people we just baptized. Three of them were on Saturday and that was a crazy process. Water can be a very difficult thing here at times and we had no water to fill the font with so we spent the whole day getting water from anywhere we could. We got some from across the street with a hose we found and the majority from a water source on the other side of town. We used a members moto and barrels going across the most uneven roads ever. I was drenched and covered in dirt just in time for my first baptism as a missionary.
What an awesome experience though, I may have slipped because the font was so small and Francheska was super nervous but it worked out!! I love the youth in my ward, they're so cool and have the best investigators for us. Work is going well, four baptisms down and I think we have four more ready to go. Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas, and did not spend too much money. Always be looking for ways to serve, it helps you just as much and maybe even more than the person so just do it.
