Hey sweet family of mine!!!
So this week for some reason I am feeling the spirit of Christmas like a ton!!! Like a bunch!! I don't know why but I am always singing Chirstmas carols. Its a little awkward because no one understands english. But I can't believe the snow there mom!!! That is ridiculous! I miss it... Chirstmas in the summer is just not Chirstmas. Its fake, or Bamba. But there are lights and christms trees at every house we go to so I guess it's okay!
I'm super glad that you are going to focus of Christ this season. I am doing the same thing. I realized it is the perfect season for missionary work because it is the season of Christ!!! I am just trying to keep the Spirit of Christ with me in this time. I love Christmas!!!
This week was another rough one. My comp is now district leader and it is really a stretch for him. He really struggles with his memory and organization and it is really stressing him out. I am trying to help him but he doesn't trust me at all so it's difficult. But I am being patient with him and praying for him and doing all I can to help him out. Even if he doesn't want it. I hope that he can get the hang of it. It is also affecting our work. Our area is now half as small because we got some new missionaries (who are super cool btw, One american about to go home, and a brand new missionary from Ecuador) and now we have to find new ivestigators because right now we only have one. But my comp only wants to talk to members and less actives and I'm just like dude. We have to get inviestigators. Like we have to. And he just ignores me. Its a stuggle. But it is okay! I am trying my best to talk to people and serve the people!!
A cool thing that happened this week was the stake had a Peruvian cultural event!!! It was super awesome. All the wards had a different region of peru to represnt and they got all decked out in tradtional clothing then danced a dance from that region! It was super duper cool to learn more about Peru! Peru is such a cool place. Lima... not so much. It's kind of a hole... But the rest of Peru is Awesome!!!! I hope I get to visit it at the end of my mission! (wink wink).
But this week has been an interesting and trying one but I am learning paticene and learning to trust in my Lord! It is a good experience.
Awkward: My comp was deathly sick yesterday so we just selpt all day
Awesome: I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!
Poco a Poco
Love,
Elder McIff
