This week is week 3 that elder Ritchey has been sick so we are going to the doctor tomorrow to see what is going on. I still have yet to get sick which is totally fine by me, I have no complaints there.
Thanks for the Christmas package, I like the Texas tie (I am wearing it today) and the book from Grandma and Grandpa is super good, I started reading it this morning. Elder Ritchey says thanks for the pajamas, he was pretty happy about that.
This week not a whole lot happened, we had the ward Christmas party on Saturday which was really fun because a lot of people showed up and we had tons of food, it was all American food too, potatoes, turkey, gravy, rolls, I was quite impressed with how well people down here have adopted our style of cooking. They had a whole bunch of people sing and us 4 elders ended up singing Hark the Herald Angels Sing in Spanish, everyone thought it was good so I guess we didn't do too bad.
Then we only had 1 hour of church yesterday, it was a really nice Christmas presentation so that was kind of cool. Then we had the rest of the day to try and see some people before we had a dinner appointment.
We ate with the elders quorum president and his family, Brother Hernandez, They made chicken and potatoes and rolls and stuffing and gravy, so I was pretty happy, although despite all the food I am eating I continue to lose weight, win-win.
This morning we made chocolate chip pancakes since it is Christmas after all, we also made cookies to take to people later today so we spent the morning baking. We are having Christmas dinner with the Weger family today at 5 so that should be more of the same, turkey, potatoes, gravy, rolls, once again, no complaints. That is one thing that is truly inspiring here, most of the people have nothing but are always willing to help the missionaries.
That is pretty much our week, Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
Love,
Elder Jaden Goodbaudy
