Mexico City Temple
Hello to all!
Well December is already here, can't believe it. The
year is gonna be over before I know it. I guess we're officially in Christmas
season which is exciting. This week was extra fast considering I wrote last
Wednesday. Lets see if I can remember what happened. .
The biggest event was Sunday in the lighting of the Temple Square. We were in the Choir for the very private event just for area
presidents, stake presidents, mission presidentes and families. We sang Silent Night, Little Drummer boy, and the EFY medley. It went pretty good. At the last
second they said our choir could only be 30 missionaries and there were about 50
so they had to make some cuts. But I made it through. haha The devotional was
pretty good, the temple president talked and an area 70. The temple is really
pretty all lit up. Nothing like Salt Lake but oh well its the second best.
haha. Me and Elder Rodriguez and Elder Bocanegra were together in the choir
which was pretty fun.
Everything is going pretty good in our area, me and Elder Guillen work really well together. We contacted a ton this week and had
lots of new investigators. Our investigator Alberto should get baptized this
Sunday so we hope all goes well with him! We struggled with getting many of our
progressing investigators to church which was kind of a setback but if all goes
as planned we should have various baptisms and families ready for this
month.
Today was kinda crazy with our zone activity. I got
all stressed out trying to plan it. haha. It went ok. We had some little games
(including our newspaper/gift/dice/glove game), played soccer, grilled
hamburgers, and had a little devotional. I'm glad its over. Now were trying to
plan our special number/skit that we have to do for the stake Christmas
activity, and our mission activity. I hope all goes well.
Well thanksgiving sounded fun. I didn't celebrate it
really, tried to just forget about it actually. Just remembered the importance
of giving thanks for all my many blessings of course :) Hope Ellie had a super
great birthday, that sucks she had to be sick. That's no fun.
So what is this news about Brandi and Brandon. I'm
gonna come home and nobody is gonna be there. haha. We are gonna turn into Dad's
side of the family when we see each other 2 times a year if we're lucky. haha jk
But that's really great news for Brandon. But sad for us :/ oh well.
.
Well I love you all and hope you have a super great
week! Only 8 months from today and I'll be home!
With lots of love,
Elder Elgan
