Hola Familia

Christmas came and went. We had such a crazy week! First, I'll tell ya, we watched a movie at the mission Christmas party. Pretty Weird. Not sure if I liked it or not. (THEY WATCHED 'ERRAND OF ANGELS')

Last sunday started our 'white christmas" and yesterday ended it. they got comfirmed yesterday. (the Gonzalaz family) Get this, then they asked Ruben to say a closing prayer in Sacrament meeting next week! He's terrified!

I'm still in Spring Valley with Sis. Howarth-I'll be sending her home to Utah at the end of this transfer. Yep, so I will have sent home every single companion (except those from the MTC)

ANYWAY...We had sort of a crazy experience yesterday. We mate a girl named Joyce in Target a couple of weeks ago (already a member but inactive). So we went to find her last night. Well, she wasn't there but we ended up talking to her mother, who immediately invited us in and wanted to feed us (she's not a member of the church and we've never met her before) So we talked for a bit, she gave us a bag of lemons, oranges, and tangerines, some hats that she knitted in front of us, some homemade tortillas that she also made infront of us, and a dinner appt. tuesday to talk about her daughter. Pretty much one of the most random experiences ever. We still don't even know her.

The mission has a goal for 100 baptisms in January. So hopefully with all the changes being made, we can do our part in that. Other than that, I guess that's about it.
