In honor of Christmas I'm going to make this email jolly. Merry Christmas!
Silent night
Picture this. It's quiet. Hna Johansen and I are sneaking back to our car after a lesson. Why are we sneaking? Because the Oliva family has a terrifying goat. He senses fear. Then. Their little boy comes out. Oh no. He's making noise. The goat comes around the corner. Hna Johansen shines her flashlight and says "su cabra!" The little boy yells "¡corre!" And we sprint to our car, closing the doors just before the goat gets to us.
O Christmas Tree
Hna Johansen and I decided to give our friend Leivi and her family our Christmas tree. So we made a new one! Out of a box. And honestly we love it because it makes us all warm and fuzzy thinking that Leivi's kids can have a Christmas tree.
Have yourself a merry LITTLE Christmas
There were 25 people in the chapel yesterday. Our branch is muy pequeña especially since our biggest family is out of town. That meant that our translator was gone! The organist doesn't speak spanish and neither does her husband. So the scary task fell upon me. It was very humbling and a good mental exercise to really test my spanish HA!
I'll be home for Christmas
...well hermana Grimes will be! We sent her home this week😪 she is deeply missed but she's off to great things!
En sombrío invierno
It's chilly!! Rainy and cold.. and by cold I mean 55 degrees🤪 so what's the best way to warm up? A nice bowl of pozole. So so good.
Grandma got ran over by a reindeer
We have this nice old Hispanic lady who lives in our complex and we call her abuelita!! The best news ever is that she is reading the Book of Mormon!! Can I get a woot woot?! We're thrilled. She's very lonely and we feel so grateful to not only be able to share our love with her but also the love of the Savior with her.
O Holy Night
I've been feeling kinda like I'm dragging through mud, know the feeling? Anyway yesterday I had an awesome night where I felt the Spirit and the love that God has for us! How awesome is it that God is our Father and He loves us so much that He sent His Son. He sent His Son to be a little baby on a cold and quiet night. Wow. So beautiful.
Love you all and merry Christmas!

ps we tried Alvin's famous "tortilla burgers" this week. It's a patty in between two tostada shells... needless to say I was disappointed.
