It really is the best time of the year!!

Hey everyone!!

Wow. The days are just too fast. This week just went by so fast. Well, this small 4 week change has come to an end. We have changes this Wednesday. I don't think I have changes, buuuut we'll see.

So this week. It was pretty crazy. It all started out normal. Tuesday we worked pretty hard and also Wednesday. Like always, we had district meeting on Thursday, but after District meeting, I went on divisions with Elder Torres in Yuscaran. Elder Torres is from Mexico and Elder Rasmussen is training him. He's a really chill guy. He's out here for the right reasons. Well the reason for doing divisions was to do a baptismal interview. The kid was 13 years old and he knew a ton. The sad part was that he never showed up to the baptism on Saturday...So that was rough. Anyway. On divisions, I met this guy that started talking to me about US history and the influence of rock music. It was super cool. He also started talking a lot about the Beatles. Haha those are just a few of the easter eggs of the mission. Anyway. We ended divisions on Friday and I had to pick back up and go to Moroceli at like 2 on Friday. They were also going to baptize. I went with Elder Ruano. I shared an area with him when I was in La Honduras. He's from El Salvador and he's one of my best friends in the mission. It was rough though because the kids that were going to get baptized weren't there!! So we went out and visited a few of the investigators. We also did a ton of contacting. It was pretty good though because they've been having trouble getting new investigators lately. 

So we ended divisions on Saturday and went straight to work. It's always rough going to the other areas to work because you never get to enjoy the work that you do!! Haha but Saturday was a decent working day. We got to teach this lady named Magda. She's super humble and super sick! She has a tumor the size of a basketball in her stomach!! It's a huge bummer because she is really positive and she just left to Tegus to have surgery. So keep her in your prayers!! We challenged her to baptism for the 3rd of January, and she accepted it without hesitating. 

On Sunday the Devotional was super good. I absolutely love Christmastime!! The Mo Tab did so good (As always) and Elder Clayton's talk was great. I always love hearing about different people's Christmas traditions. 

Well, I hope you guys are enjoying the spirit of la Navidad. It really is the best time of year!! I love you all. Until next week,

Love, Elder Carter
