This week we worked really hard! Walking everywhere is really tiring, but I am starting to actually like it. Its been really hot the past few days. It´s really weird with this weather at christmas time.
My companion and I are really getting along well and he is teaching me a lot! Spanish is getting better, but I still don´t know what people are saying sometimes. But thats when having a latino companion comes in handy.
Our investigating family, the Gutierrez family, agreed to get baptized and their date is for January 10th. Its been so cool to see them grow so much in such a short amount of time. Our other investigators are progressing very well also.
One thing that really has gotten my attention during this holiday season is that none of these people have any gifts for christmas, but they are still so happy. This past sunday all of the kids got a gift that was shipped down here from the States. I can remember going out to buy a toy for a kid in a different country and it has been really cool to see the other side of it.
I like talking to the kids here and learning more about them. They always make me laugh because of their good spirits. The different way of living has been so humbling already.
I Love all of you so much and I hope you all have a great Christmas!!
Love,
Elder Wilks
