December 12, 2011

Hola,
 
Alright so today we had changes, well for I didn´t. I am staying here in the ward Lo Cañas with my companion Hna. Verastegui. In this sector there are two other hermanas, Hna. Castellón and Hna. Mancia. I am very excited for this change one of the main reasons being that Christmas is in this change. This Christmas is going to be very different for me, instead of being in the cold winter in Utah I am in the Hot summer in Chile. 

Monday I celebrated my own Sinterklaas, thanks to the package my family sent me. I made some gluten-free bread and ate some dutch food. OH MY GOSH I don´t think I can even express how happy I was.
 
This last Tuesday (Dec. 6) We had an activity as a mission. We all went to a park where we played games, ate, and had time to sit and talk, we then went to a chapel where we had lunch, a devotion by President Laycock and we watched "A Christmas Carol" I really enjoyed the activity. President and Hna. Laycock gave us all 3 things for Christmas. 1. A pillow case sown by her kids, they have a tradition in their family where they sew pillowcases each year and the kids use them for the month of December to help remind them of their savior and dream of him during this time of year. It´s really cute. 2. A journal that has Chile Santiago Este engraved on the the outside with the mission logo. 3. A book about Christmas that Pres. and Hna. Laycock.
 
This week has been a really busy week. Hna. Verastegui and I have had a lot to do outside of our sector which unfortunately means we haven´t had a lot of time working in our sector. We do have an investigator name Felipe that´s progressing really well and is going to be baptised this coming Sunday. :)
I love you ALL SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for all your support.
-Hna. Howe
