Merry Christmas! Christmas is almost here.. can you believe it? I can't wait for Christmas because then we get to skype and then the holidays are over, thank goodness becuse it makes me so homesick. I'm not sure why either because it doesn't even feel like Christmas, maybe because there's no snow and no nothing.. it's just not America! But they still celebrate it here, they love Christmas and Christmas music so sometimes it feels like Christmas.
Anyways, I'm sorry but this email is going to be really crappy and really boring. Not much happened this week. Like always, we are having a hard time with our area and finding people to teach. I know I complain about it every email, but it's true. Our area is so small and I think all the people hide from us because they are no where to be found. It's really hard not to get discouraged about our area and us having little success. But I know that I just need to have faith and keep searching, because they are out there somewhere, I know it!
Yeah, so we just went out finding and teaching this week, it was long and hard. Then last night we went to Rosales to watch the Christmas devotional and it was so good. Seriously, if you haven't watched it then do it, especially watch elder Russell M. Nelsons talk. It was wonderful and all the talks really helped me to realize the true meaning of Christmas instead of me just wishing that I was home. So of course I cried and cried because I felt the spirit so strong and I was thinking about home too much. I hate to say it but when I forget about home everything is so much easier.
There is this place in my area I think it's like a town hall or something, but it has all these stars that the different Barangy's made. I think there are like 10 barangay's in Sto thomas or something, anyways they all had to make a star out of recycled things. It was so beautiful and all lit up at night and they were playing christmas music, it was fun.
also I'm not doing top 10 anymore, it just takes up time and its the same every week.. I would rather attach pictures.
and everyone should send me you Christmas cards, I would love to see them!
