Hello!
How are you all doing? This has
been an interesting week here, I don`t know where to start... People here are
starting to gear up for Christmas time. Although Christmas here is not even
close to Christmas back home. People here celebrate with lots and lots of
fireworks! More than anything this Christmas season makes me really miss
Independence Day!
Yesterday we went to the
Christmas devotional, that was really nice. At first I was upset that I had to
see it in Spanish, then I realized that I speak Spanish, so who cares. It was
really nice.
So if it snows there, be sure
to send me lots of pictures, to remember what it is like. Several years ago it
snowed here in El Salvador, only at the tip of the highest mountain here,
really a once in an eternity experience. So there is no hope here for that.
So Yesterday I got slightly mad
at the youth, we had an investigator, Kevin, in the young men's class, and the
teacher asked Kevin when he was going to be baptized, and he mentioned that
"he was baptized last year in another church" all the young men burst
out in laughter at him. Here we have Sacrament meeting after the two other
classes, so Kevin didn't even stick around for the Sacrament, I hope he didn't
feel too embarrassed. Me and my comps had to "machete" the youth a
little bit, or lovingly correct their actions. It is always remember to
important to behave in church so that outsiders don't feel like.. outsiders!
Well that is about all that I
have for now. I am sending out some mail today for you family, hopefully you
get it soon. I am so excited for tomorrow because it is the Christmas party
with President Glazier in his house, so tomorrow we will be waking up super
early so we can be there at 8AM sharp! I am excited.
I am missing you all this
Christmas season already, We are still working on finding where we will be
doing the Skype call, so I will let you know the time and date, most likely on
the 25th. I cant wait!
Here are some pictures...
The one is with E. Caballero,
Wyatt and me with our ward mission leader and his son Chele who just left on
the mission in Ecuador.
The others are of us messing
around on a Nacho Libre bike. Coolest bike ever.
Love Elder Vaughan
