12/5/11 “Oh The Holiday
Season”…
Dear Family…
Well today I
sent a package to your house!!! There
were cambios (meetings) so we didn’t
have a ton of things to do. It was waiting for misioneros (missionaries) saying goodbye to others. We came back took a nap,
cleaned the house and then went shopping for food….We have a ton! Then we ate and now we are writing the
fams. What about you? I will write a
note on how I feel about Christmas and how the week went.
Ok well for the Christmas season I
have learned a ton. From the devotionals to the work I know what is important.
The Christmas season isn’t about the presents or even the family with a big
Christmas tree it’s about a person and that’s our Savior Jesus Cristo. He is
our guide. He suffered for us so that we could have a life here. So, we could
choose right and wrong. I love him and I am grateful to be in his service. This
week was not the best for us. We couldn’t find anyone. No one was in their
homes. We had planned a bunch of citas(appointments)
and a ton of lecciones (lessons) but
still we couldn’t find anybody. But, we are still working very hard to find
people and to keep ourselves motivado (motivated).
I think it just comes with the work. You can’t have everything fall into place
perfectly. That’s not how we learn. We learn from hard times, easy time, things
that go right things that fail. So, I am not too worried about it. But it’s
weird being in Mexico with Christmas here. I am excited to talk to everyone. It’s
kind of weird how the time is really flying fast. I am trying to soak it all
up. Ha ha About my head injury. How did I hurt it…. Well, I hate even tell the
story but, I was walking with other missionaries and we were talking and then
down the street there came this truck of circo (circus)
people with a big tiger in the back and we were looking at it and then all of a
sudden there was a little girl hanging out of the truck window and her mom was
putting her out the window with a face that I can’t even describe, it was so
freaking funny. We were laughing so hard and staring and BOOOOM I hit a
concreto(concrete) pole sticking out...haha so, Dios (God) taught me in that moment that I shouldn’t make fun of
anybody...haha But, my head is all good. I am healing…
I am opening up the Christmas
gifts one at a time (daily) so don’t worry I am following the rules that you wrote.
Thanks momma. I love you so much and
thank you for everything you do. I have to head out right now but, I will talk
to you next week. I love you
I am a missionero(missionary) so, I have to head out and get
back to doing his work. I love you momma. Have a great week
Tu hijo Elder Anderson
