Hey, Mom,

This week has been great! I loved taking with you guys.  Not much has been going on with everyone out of town - so just a lot of contacting.

​Christmas Eve we went over to a family's house and ate a lot. They are from the Dominican Republic. Then on Christmas morning we went to the church building and had pancakes.

Then I was able to to talk (email) with Rachel and Mom a little bit before they went to bed. Then we went to the stake president's house to eat and skype. That was fun. Church was good. Talk to you guys next week

When I asked Craig how he is doing, this was his answer:


Well I am doing well but it's hard learning Spanish with 4 Americans in one piso. But it's going well.  We are white washing and the last hermanas that were here gave all their investigators to the other hermanas in the area, so it's hard not having anyone. Well, we have people but they are all the people that the other missionaries didn't want. One of them is crazy - like she thinks she is married to Christ lol! Yeah, but I know it will work out.  My companion is a great guy - love him!  I've got a scripture for you to ponderize - Zechariah 2:6. lol!

​We received a letter from Craig's mission president and his wife saying that Craig arrived at his mission and has received his assignment.  He will serve in the Madrid Barrio 8 (8th ward).  

We should receive a letter from him on Monday.  

Thought you'd want to know!

Thanks,
Joan

Hey, everyone!

Loving it here. Last week for p-day I went to some funky art museum and all it had in it was dead people and naked people, so not much to see.

I have had so much fun teaching my investigators and progressing them. Thanksgiving was fun, but it wasn't that good, so I really missed family Thanksgiving.

The park was awesome. There were tons of Spanish speakers - great time! I got lost and found another side of the park that I haven't been too yet. I'm so excited to finally go to the park with my comp, Elder Robertson. It will be great. We played some volleyball for a change. I had fun messing around - surprise! We played even more soccer. 

​Sunday was chill. I was able to go to the temple today. It was awesome. I'm getting my residency card today. Not much else is going on.

Love ya
