hey guys!! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all had absolutely fabulous holidays!! I'm not very good at remembering to write emails but here are some things that have happened:
♡ we had a choque de fuerza, which means that our whole district came to carmen to help us find people!! so there were literally 12 missionaries in this tiny little town and it was the best thing ever. we found double our goal for the day, carmencita has still not recovered. the Spirit was so strong, we met really cool people and just had a lot of little miracles where we were at the right place at the right time. hna israelsen and I pretty much just cried the whole day because we couldn't believe what was happening and we were so grateful!!
♡ I've eaten a ton of really good ice cream and cake and oatmeal and alfajores
♡ everyone here gives besos, so you basically kiss people's cheeks to greet them. obviously we can't give guys besos and it has created so many awkward situations, every time some dude leans in and i just have to stick out my hand really fast and say "nopodemos" and hope they don't get offended!! but I really do love that everyone here makes a point to greet everyone else individually, it's sweet
♡ Christmas!!! We spent Christmas eve at a members house and our mission pres let us stay out until 12:30 which was hype, we ate really good food and then threw poppitz at each other and it reminded me of my family, precious. And we went to catholic mass with them bc my comp and I want to become friends with the nuns here🎄💒
♡ new years was pretty chill except there was a lot of fireworks and everyone was speaking a lot of very loud Spanish. I could understand most of it so pretty psyched about that but I still sound like a 7 yr old when I attempt to communicate. Everyone make good goals and listen to New Year's Day by Taylor Swift for me!!
♡ prayer is super cool!! It just switches up my mood so fast and I've literally seen the difference that it makes in people's days and lives. If you want to be happier this year and you're not sure how, try praying!! Heavenly Father loves you, He wants to hear from you, and He will bring you comfort.
choucito!!! happy 2023!!!
