23 months to go! :)

Hello everyone! It's been another week... So fast! If it keeps up at this pace I'll be back at home in no time :) 1 month down 23 more to go! :) or... 100 weeks to go. I like 23 better :)

Anyway... button on my pants came lose, and a seam tore near my pocket *sigh* figures. I guess I'll need to relearn sewing. I got my first packages of Christmas this week. Thank you Aunt Kelly, and all those in Parker who helped. Cally and Allen also wrote a cute card to me for Christmas, thank you guys :)
If any of you are thinking about sending a package, make sure it won't arrive between Dec. 23-25. The mail workers will be with their families and won't be at the MTC those days.

I'm so glad to be in preparation for our Lord during Christmas, it's his birthday after all. I hope that all who read this, not only gift the ones you love this season, but also see to serve them through your actions, clean your dad's truck or something.

This week I've been teaching a lot in Spanish, I know that: as the Lord's servant, my mind can become open and receive revelation to teach. I know that what I teach, although the investigators are just actors; I still know what to teach and when, through the power of the Holy Ghost; and in Spanish to boot!

One of the elders in my district has to get knee surgery today, he tore is meniscus? The doc said get it fixed, so that's what he's doing. Keep him in your prayers, he needs a speedy recovery. Elders Craig and Robinson left to Peru this week on Wednesday. Elder Craig is from Texas and is ranked at 203 amongst professional raquet ball players internationally, and has traveled around the world playing raquet ball for Team Head. Elder Robinson wouldn't shut up about his girlfriend and "wife-to-be," Baleigh(bailey). I say if it works for ya after two years more power to ya. These two elders made our time here enjoyable and will be missed. Another Elder in our district had business to take care of at home, so unfortunately he had to leave... We went from 8 strong down to 5. It's nice in a way, because we get more stuff done.

Anyway! The food is still good, my bed becomes comfier by the day, and my muscles are getting bigger from all the gym time we have... ladies :p (jk) but seriously, I'm getting stuff done and enjoying it. I hope y'all are too, Caio.

Elder Patrick.
