Merrrrryy Christmas Eve everyone!
This is definitely the weirdest Christmas I ever had, and will ever have, seeing as it's the only Christmas I'll spend on the mission. It's hot! And humid! And weird! And they don't decorate nearly as much in this town as they do back home. It's a rare sight to see a Christmas tree or Christmas lights, or things like that. And it's hot. Really hot. I successfully found the upper limit of the thermometer on my clock that Mom gave me. It's 122 degrees. And it was hotter than that. Yaaaay!!!
This week was terribly difficult for the work here in
Araraquara. But let's start off with Tuesday. We had the mission Christmas
conference. Which was alright. We had a training from President Prieto, and the
secretaries, and all that junk. We had a talent show thing as well, but it was
rather disappointing. Really nothing to write home about. But I got to see my
old companions and talk about our old areas and all that jazz. So that was
fun.
After that, we got home and a new missionary joined us in
our house. Elder Santos was living with us, but he went home. Now we have Elder
Schleider. He actually already served in this area, but is now returning. He's
from somewhere here in Brasil, and he's got a year and 7 months on the mission
or something like that. It's good to have him here and he seems like a pretty
cool guy.
I have been very much enjoying the presents for Christmas!
And thanks, Fields family, for the ties and everyone else who sent little cards
and helped out! It's very much appreciated and it keeps me happy. Only one more
to open up tomorrow! I think I'll wait until the Google+ call to open in so it
can be almost like a normal Christmas!

Well, that's all I got for this week. Hopefully in the next
couple of days we'll have a baptism, but nothing confirmed yet. Fingers crossed
and many prayers! Hope you all have a great Christmas! I'll talk to some of you
tomorrow!
Love you all!
