Christmas was good, we spent all afternoon in the sector meeting with members and investigators, but it was all just kind of normal for the most part. Here the bigger holiday is on the 24th, Noche Buena, where everyone gets together with their friends and family and they have parties and drink beer and listen to loud music. And then at midnight, they all have a huge turkey dinner. We went over to the bishop's house and ate with them. They made us an awesome dinner with ham, noodles, and of course rice. We got permission from the president to stay out a little later, and the bishop took us home at about 10:30.
This week, a few more missionaries finished their missions and went home. On Wednesday, I took Elder Tezen to the airport and shipped him off to his house. He had to go at three in the morning, so that was absolutely wonderful.
And on Thursday morning, Elder Zuñiga, Elder Sessions (one of our zone leaders), and I ran a mile or two to the lighthouse at 5 in the morning and took pictures of the sunrise. We got some cool shots, so I'll send you the photos. But I can't send them today because Elder Tesimale took his card reader with him and now we don't have one. So I'll see if I can't buy one this week.
Okay well that's it really. Keep on writing. Love you all mucho!
