MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
So this week preparing for Christmas has been very action packed!
First, my companion went home on Thursday leaving me WITHOUT a companion for a few days! Thankfully, Hermana Lazarte´s companion also went home, so we´ve been two lone wolves out here in Moyo. It's been a little hard trying to work a lot in both areas, but we´re doing well. Hopefully, our new companions come soon! :)

Next... on Friday night we had an activity in the chapel.. it was a chocolatada! (in case you missed my last email that's what everyone does here for Christmas, they eat paneton and hot chocolate and call it a chocolatada). Noemi called me a few hours before and said that she wouldn't be going to the activity because she's has a fever, but that Richard would come... but it turns out that they both came! Even though they were sick ... they still came! and they really enjoyed it! They loving coming to church activities, how great is that?
Then, Saturday was CRAZY BUSY! We went with Orlando and Elsa to the town municipalidad (Mom, I know you told me the word for that yesterday but I forgot) and dropped off all their marriage papers! It's all set... this Friday at 2:00 PM we will be having a wedding in the chapel! We´re super excited :) After getting back, we went out to work for a little bit and then went over to our pensionista´s house for dinner! I actually have two pensionistas, one gives us breakfast and lunch and the other gives us dinner. the one who gives us dinner lives in the other branch but they bring us dinner everyday to our apartment. Due to the fact that Saturday was Christmas Eve, we got permission to go over to her house to eat! and let me tell you.. she is one of the best cooks! She made pasta salad! Do you know how much I have missed pasta salad? That stuff doesn't exist here in Peru, but for some reason my pensionista knows how to make it! It was the best Christmas gift I could have asked for! hahaha.

| Our pensionista, Elizabeth! She is from the Dominican Republic (cool right?) and is hilarious!! |
After eating... we went out to Rioja! (It's a neighboring city. There is another branch out there.) We went to the town square and sang Christmas hymns and contacted the people listening to us! It was a very spiritual experience, you could really feel the Christmas spirit. I don't have pictures though, just a video which is too big to send in an email. Sorry!!!
 |
| In Rioja ... where we have our district meetings! |
Then, of course, Sunday I got to talk to you all! It was actually quite the experience... we had two laptops that we borrowed from members and when we went over to a member´s house to use his wifi. We were only going to bring one laptop, but Hermana Lazarte told me that she felt we should bring the other laptop, just in case...so we did! and it was a good thing too, because the first laptop we were going to bring, didn't have a camera!! We were super blessed that the Spirit guided us in bringing the other laptop with a camera! :)

Anyways, I love you all!
Have a super de duper week!
