I
hope everyone had a perfect Christmas, ate a lot of food, spent time
with family, and took time as a family to remember the birth of our
Savior Jesus Christ. I was able to talk to my family Christmas Day over
Skype, and it was really fun to see their faces and hear their voices!

Here
in Bolivia, and I think probably most of Latin America, Christmas Eve
is really the big thing. They all stay up until midnight, then eat
dinner and open their presents. And we had special permission to eat
pork on Christmas, because usually we are not allowed to, because a lot
of people get sick from it.
We
ate dinner Christmas Eve with our pensionista, the lady who usually
feeds us lunch and dinner, with the secretaries and another set of sister
missionaries. it was really fun. Then, when we got home, the family we
live with invited us to their dinner. They made piquana, which is like a
soup that Bolivians eat for Christmas. The granda dressed up as Santa to drop off presents for his 5 year old grandson, so Santa was there
when came in. But the 5 year old was already asleep, and he didn´t want
anything to do with Santa. it was really funny.
We
were not able to find a whole lot of people to teach this week, because
everyone was with family or busy getting ready for Christmas, or
traveling. It was a little hard. But it was a really good Christmas. My
first and last in the mission!
I hope everyone is doing well!
