¡¡Feliz Navidad!!

Hey, hey everyone,

Thanks for the emails and its been sweet opening up presents every day now. I loved the CD with Ashlyn, Brooklyn, and Parker on it. They are so cute!

The Christmas season is finally here! Next week we are going to have a Christmas party for 2 days. But we don't know exactly when. Pres. Alvarado always has surprises. But I'm sure it will be tight. We might be doing a paranda. Which is Puerto Rican Christmas caroling. And no its not exactly peaceful. Guitars, other puerto rican instruments. More like a party walking through the street. By the way, we saw Santa Claus yesterday in the plaza, we almost contacted him. ha ha. And Puerto Ricans also celebrate 3 kings day which is in January. Puerto Rico has more holidays than any other place in the world. Fact. Also its rated as 3rd best place in the world to be at Christmas time. Supposed fact as well. 

So as for the missionary work. We have been tracting a lot lately to find new investigators. Receiving referrals from members is the ideal situation and the work would "move forward in a marvelous way" if the members did do the finding for us. Quote from Pres. Hinkley. But it doesn't happen much here. We do have some good potentials though, we will see what happens. Question for Jordan, "Do you have a foundation for the week in your mission as well?" Because here we have to have 140 contacts, 20 lessons, and an investigator in church every week. 

Any ways, on Christmas Day i will be calling y'all a little after 4pm your time. So get ready. I'm super excited to talk to y'all!! I love y'all so much! And remember its El Papa not popa. Ha ha. Just a funny thing that happened this week. Talk to y'all on Christmas!!!!
