Dear family and friends,

 

This has to be short because i was trying to get a video sent, but it didn't work

 

This started out to be the best Christmas ever. We got beds last friday, and Elder Washburn Broke it within 24 hours (its alright we fixed it)!!!!, but then on Saturday we went to pick up Benicio for his baptism and found out that he had drunken wine the night before, so he wasn't able to get baptized. He is one of the guys that we are having to do everything for and won't do anything on his own. He didn't come to church after saying he would, so we are seriously contemplating on dropping him, since he will come to church only when we go and get him, it is a really hard choice, but I would perfer to baptize strong members rather than people who go inactive right after I leave.

 

We had a ward Christmas party that was sort of funny. we had a fun time trying to figure out a skit to do, so we went and found did a thing where one of us laid down and we sat on the other one, and then put a towel around us so that they couldn't tell . . . ish, and then we played around and were able to put "our legs" behind our heads and such, it is sort of funny, i'll try and get a video sent, it starts about 50 seconds into it.

 

Yesterday we had a great time, we had a lesson with a guy named Moises, and he is super awesome. his friend was over and was giving us really good answers and such. We were sort of curious, and then right as we got to Joseph Smith, she left and got her bible, she came back and found a scripture, and then Elder Washburn and I looked at each other and realized she was a Jehova Witness. So we closed the lesson before talking about Joseph Smith, and her face got a smile of disgust on it, she was so furious. It is sort of funny how sad it is that they have to play dumb just to try and prove us wrong. So we left and didn't get into it. It is sort of hard, because between Elder Washburn and I, we could probably bible bash pretty good, but there is no point to it.

 

Anyways, love y'all tons.
