This week was a good one. Things kind of got back to normal, I got my new comp last week and he is pretty cool. He is from Virginia and he is super new in the mission. He has only been here for 3 weeks but he speaks pretty well because of his Mexican background.
The zone leaders have headed the house search so we kind of started doing real work again. They just need a house more than we do right now so we finally had decent numbers. Some other good news is that today the zone leaders found houses for both of us! And they are close so we don't have to run too far to have sleep overs.
This week we got a reference from the sisters for a guy who lives in our area and he is super dope. His name is Carlos and he used to be evangelical but he is looking for the true church. He wasn't able to come to church this week but he said he will next week. I have a lot of hope for him.
This week we had a Christmas conference with our mission president and it was pretty great. We ate a lot of good food, played some games and after we watched "It's a Wonderful Life" which trunked me out a little because our family would always watch that but I got over it. It was super cool to see a non-church movie haha. Best of all is that I got your guys´ package. It got here just in time so president could bring it to Madeira. Unfortunately they had to unwrap everything to bring it through customs so I know everything but I will act surprised on Christmas morning.
Today for P-day we did a super cool hike to the highest point on the island with a member and the zone leaders. It was so pretty and the pics don't do it justice. Probably one of the prettiest places I have ever been. We will have to vacation here after the mission.
I am so sorry, but because of the craziness of this week and last week I have not done any Christmas shopping. I am putting together a Christmas package this week but it will definitely get to you guys after Christmas. I feel really bad but I will hurry so it is not too late. Love you guys thanks for everything.
Love,
