| What was awaiting after the Christmas Devotional |
We had a Christmas Devotional for the missionaries in Belmont the other day. When we left the house to head up to the temple it was 3 degrees! Freezing cold. Then after the devotional we had a couple inches of snow. It was a lot of fun to see all the cars covered in snow and then all the elders trying their best to get them uncovered.
The work this week
was a mix between the Merrimack ward and the Spanish group. I guess that
is how it is going to be until we get more direction from the Stake
president here. We did some visiting teaching with some sisters from the
Merrimack ward, which is always fun.
There
was a Christmas activity for the Relief Society here. We helped set up,
simple but cute. It was a soup and salad dinner with some live
Christmas music provided by some of the youth.
One day we were waiting
for the elevator in our apartment building. We had just stopped by to
get a few copies of the Book of Mormon. A lady walked up and asked if we
were Mormon. I could tell she had an accent but couldn't quite place
it. When I asked she told me that she was from Columbia. So she speaks
Spanish! She was so excited to have us to speak to. She welcomed us to
come and stop by some time. The few times we have tried during the day
she hasn't been home so we are going to try again this evening.
Also, the man
that is involved in the community outreach for the Latinos in the area,
is from Guatemala and used to have the missionaries come teach him at
his house there. He is going to be going away for the holidays, but was
very excited to be in contact with missionaries again. He is going to be
very useful to help us get in contact with some of the Spanish speaking
people in the area.
We
did have about two feet of snow in some places, but now it is melting
because of rain. It is definitely not what I am used to because it
hasn't started to freeze yet, but it is pretty cold. I think we are
going to get a white Christmas. At least with left over snow.
Christmas plans are as follows:
Breakfast and opening stockings at the Bishop's house.
Skyping and family time with the Jarnagin family.
Caroling with the Jarnagins and Gustafson families
Dinner at the McIntyre family.
I am really excited to hear from and see my family. Hopefully Kamber has the baby before so that I can see him.
I hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas!
I love you all!
Love,
Hermana K. Brown
