It is Christmas Eve day and we got our weekly letter from Elder Ethan Merrill much earlier in the day than we normally do. He talks a little bit about the mission get-together at the mission home in Bahia Blanca:
I´m writing a little bit earlier this week because we don´t know if things will be closed later on today. We´ll see how it all turns out, but I hope that things are still open, we still need to buy groceries for the week. I know that because this is so early, you won´t have time to write back, but I get to call you tomorrow, so that´ll be fun.
The conference was pretty fun, we all brought a present and so we got a random one from someone else. We all had to bring a gift for Jesus too, but this was a personal one from the heart, so its one of those "it´s your own deal if you want to do it or not."
Then he gives us the plan for calling home on Christmas day (woohoo!):
I will try to call the house at about 9 in the morning. The time for me is about 4 hours ahead, so I will call at about 1 in the afternoon my time. With this time, I hope its not an inconvenience with opening presents and what not, [NEVER!!!!] but I think that this is one of the better times for me. We´ll see how it all turns out. I don´t think I can do skype here....If something comes up in the next 24 hours, I´ll call through skype, but I really doubt it.
I had no idea that you guys were watching a dog! I can imagine sparky wasn´t too happy about that. We have a pet of our own here. He never comes in the house but he´s always outside and waiting for us to come out, then when we do, he follows us everywhere. we´re not really sure why.
Ohhhhh, the humidity here is killing us. I´m a bit more used to it now but I want a couple of cool days every now and again. I think that its about 80 or so, but the humidity is crazy. sorry, I haven´t seen a package from you yet, but I think I might get it on Wednesday. 1 day late, but I´m not picky, just so long as I get it.
With all the time I´ve been gone I wonder if things will be different. These little things like a new neighbor, or renovating the school, or construction being completed, things are small changes for you guys but a big wave of difference when I get back, so it should be interesting.
I can´t wait to call you guys tomorrow, I´m so exited to hear all your voices again! Although we´re not together for Christmas, This time is going by so fast that I can hardly believe that we´re coming up on my year mark! One more Christmas and then we´re together again! talk to you all tomorrow! love you!
