I see a belo horizonte,
Well, so this is Christmas, at least on a mission. It was good, but a little weird to wake up Christmas morning with just me and my companion. We turned to each other and decided we still had to do studies.
But, I´m way out of order. the first thing that happened this week was a noiter familiar. It was really good and we even ad a few investigators there. People need to feel comfortable with the other people in the ward. They can feel that the church is true, but if they feel uncomfortable there they won´t attend. NF is a great way to help with this.
That night I got really sick, which caused me not to be able to eat red meat, dairy, or candies for 3 days including Christmas. I am recovered now, but the timing was horrible.
Christmas day I was able to skype the family. That is the real gift of Christmas for missionaries. It was fun to talk with the family and simply to talk in English. It just felt really natural and really quick. It was a little weird when I had difficulty saying the word difficult in English.
This week we made a contact that wouldn´t give us his address. So, we didn´t think too much about it. The ward was having a baptism this Saturday and he was walking by and decided to walk in. He was able to watch part of it and then came to church the next day with his daughter. That was our miracle for the week.
Randoms:
*They don´t have Mexican food for Christmas eve here.
*My companion talked in Creole for his call home.
*I can understand parts of Creole.
*To say you in Creole you say boo, so they call everyone their boo.
