I'm skyping tomorrow!!! And I've reached my six months mark! Time is flying! So quick update about the week...
1.
Dean(ward missionary) has now left us... kasubo guid kami. But, we're so excited for
her. We made her this cute little going away present, and she totally
loved it... at least she said she did and seemed really sincere.
haha. We gave her this gorgeous leather journal and then made a cover to a
mini Book of Mormon with pictures of us on it. They have mission
farewells here--the night they get set apart, they have a farewell party
at the church. And at the party, the missionary sits in a chair in the
front, and then you take turns going up to the front and telling stories
about her, giving advice, talking about memories/friendship, etc. and
it was so sweet. We got really close to her, and frankly I think we were
her closest friends here in the ward. After while we were eating, she
came and sat by us, she even wrote us letters and gave us her two small
stuffed animals that she's has since she was young. We love her and miss
her but she'll be amazing.
2. We are still teaching T. His testimony is so strong. He's
almost done with 2 Nephi and we've only been teaching him for like 6
weeks! He has completely stopped smoking, drinking, etc within a couple
of days. It's hard because he's so prepared yet Satan is just not making
it easy for him but we're not losing hope and faith.
3. My package
came! and we're so excited for tomorrow! And I loved every single letter
and picture in the 12 days of Christmas envelopes! So fun and so
thoughtful.
4.
Last night we had our ward Christmas Party and it's definitely a huge
deal here! and everyone and their grandma showed up! Even the J family (our investigators!) came! It was fun, and they had so much food!
Even the big lechon pork (the full roasted pig) was sitting on the
counter.
I
love you all! Sorry for this short email but I will tell you all about everything tomorrow!
xoxo,
Sister Fitz
