HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I can´t believe we are already entering into 2014. CRAZY! Do you have any big plans for New Year´s Eve? How did the rest of Christmas go? Did you not have a family dinner with all the cousins this year?
It was so great getting to talk to you! Definitely the highlight of the week. You guys are EXCELLENT! My good old weird family. Time really does go by pretty quick, cuz believe it or not I´ve been out for 6 months almost 7. I wasn´t awkward was I? Cuz I felt like I just saw you all a few months ago. I still feel guilty that we talked so much past. I´ll confess to President. I can´t have any guilt on me! Anyway, it was so great to see you all. Brandon took a picture and I look like fatty McGee on there. How embarrassing. Ohhh dear. Imagine that in a year from now. The food is so bad for you here. You eat all carbs and meat. I´m not the biggest fann.... at all. Ha the good news is that we don´t eat as much. But I think the fact that it´s all bad for me is going to leave me hanging just the same. On top of that we drink like a million glasses of pop everyday. Bleh! Haha, sorry enough of my complaining!
Apart from that, this week has been great! I´m getting more and more used to it everyday! It is hard considering that I don´t understand much again. I still understand when people talk normal, but when they start speaking about random things I get lost. They speak with so much slang, and a million miles a minute. Ha but that´s alright. It´ll come :)
We ran into somebody the other night. It was really neat cuz she told us that she didn´t have time but then we ended up talking outside her house for a good hour. Her daughter passed away and she was devastated. Well, I read a scripture Alma 13:22 I believe? I thought that it had been an amazing scripture for me the night before... but turns out that the Lord had a better purpose in mind. I was able to explain that her daughter is one of those angels. She had sent us to her, because she now knows of the truthfulness. In the end we didn´t get too far, but we are going to be able to visit her again. I love the small simple miracles like that. :)
We had an activity for Christmas on Saturday. We did a live nativity and it was so great. Out of all of our traditions that´s the one I missed most. I LOVE doing that. Love it love it love it. Papa Noel also came to visit, in a paper costume. Haha everything here is a little bit behind the united states but ya it was super fun.
I am now playing the piano in sacrament. Right hand for lots of them. I should have practiced hymns!!! Bishop saw me playing one night and the rest was history. It´ll be good for me though.
Well, sorry for the short email. We better get going though because we have an appointment at 6. Love you all so so much! Argentina is amazing! We experienced sooooo many miracles yesterday. It´s amazing how much the Lord directs us. We somehow end up places that we had no intentions of. That´s when you know that this really is all in the Lord´s hands.
I´ll be anxious to hear next week about the baby. Give my love to brandon and Whitney. I about screamed when I saw something about her water breaking! Hahahaha How exciting :) Can´t wait to see pictures. PS. THanks for the pictures brandon! LOVE YOU!!!
