Merry Merry Christmas!

Merry Merry Christmas! It's the most wonderful time of the year or something like that.

It sounds like everyone in Oregon's had a great pre-Christmas week. That's a whole heck of a lot of concerts to go to, though. I'm jealous of course. Not many concert opportunities on the mission.

I'm happy it never gets down to -20 here in Colorado.

I think I can probably best tell you how the week went by telling you that I learned this week that Ibuprofen and Tylenol are wonderful, and that Robitussin tastes really nasty. Kinda got sick this week for a while, it kinda really sucked. Had to stay in on Thursday and Friday with what we're pretty sure is the flu. But we're getting better, so we're really hoping to be better by Christmas. But even though there were some not super happy things like being sick, the week was still good. 

We were able to find a new family of investigators, just by tracting (People are just letting us in left and right nowadays, I think it's the Christmas spirit or something like that.), and we were able to visit a couple of less-actives who really needed it.

We also had a pretty fun little event on Thursday that we were well enough to go to--we did a Christmas devotional, which was basically a mini zone conference. Plus all of the zones put on Christmas skits (ours was a like mission 12 days of Christmas) and we got free food. What could be better? 

PLUS they had a missionary choir that I sang in and that was really fun. Spanish wards honestly don't sing too well, so it was really cool to sing with a lot of people who can actually sing pretty well. So that was pretty fun I'd say.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas, let me tell you. We've got some pretty cool plans--we're going to have dinner and lunch with all of the missionaries in the ward, and visit a couple of members, and of course... SKYPE HOME YAY. 

Christmas is just really great, everyone. It's a really awesome time to just remember all the things Christ did for us. I hope you all know that I know he really is our Savior. That's why I'm here in Denver, and not at home for Christmas.

I love you all a ton.
