For Christmas, we were privileged to FaceTime with Hermana Alldredge! I loved seeing her sweet face, and hearing the Spanish language pour out of her mouth! Here is an email from Christmas time:
It was soooooooooooooooo nice to talk to you guys!!!! like really nice!!! i miss you guys soooo much! haha thanks for letting me know that i still look... alright haha i kind of gave up with what i look like right now haha but hey, it´s super hard to look nice when you have bad humidity and your eyes get infected so you have to wear glasses haha but thanks :) it was kind of hard for me to not be at grandma´s funeral... but what i know brings me comfort. now she can see me working and help me out :) but ya, i´m happy to know that you guys could pass by her grave :) that´s good!
That´s so cool that you had a great christmas and was able to enjoy it sooo much! and all the fun presents and stuff haha i´m so happy that i was able to talk to you guys though, seriously. i was sooooo happy! it helped me out sooo much! and ya, it was cool to actually understand Ya, my comp and i got argentinian pants for each other, and that was fun haha but they are super thin and they started to brake already haha oh well, it was fun for a day or two lol but ya, i love you guys soooo much! christmas was good for me! my comp and a few other companionships had a sleepover the 24th. i guess we weren´t supose to do it... but we already planned it so they let us do it haha. it was super fun! we were able to watch Disney movies which was awesome! then at like midnight people started to set off fireworks and all that and it was all crazy haha we heard a lot of cop cars haha but it was super fun. then we made french toast with dulce de leche and it was so good. then i got to talk to you guys which was nice! i bawled (of course) haha but then we went back to the apartment cause it was kind of dangerous to be out haha it really was a nice break from the full time mission work haha but i´m happy to be doing it again! the same thing is going to happen for 31st we have to be in our apartment at 6 and then the next day we can´t leave cause it´s even worse cause everyone is drunk in the streets haha but it´s all good. more disney movies!!!! :) haha but ya, the work is kind of hard here right now. i don´t know how many people have dropped us or how many we had to drop cause they weren´t progressing. it´s hard, i´ll be honest. super hard but we have found some more people that we are hoping to help out. they don´t have a baptism date yet cause they aren´t married legally but when we asked the dad what he thought about the resturation he told us that he believes that joseph smith really could have seen jesus and heavenly father and that our church really does sound like Jesus´ church restored in the earth today. he promised that he would read the book of mormon and pray about it to receive his own testimony of it. we are super excited for him! we´ll see how it goes :) but ya, we are still trying to work hard here to find new people really. to find those who are ready to listen to the truth. it´s kind of hard sometimes but we are putting in our effort and that´s what counts :) but ya, well, happy new years too!!!! let me know how it goes! love ya!!!!
