Feliz Navidad everyone!
Well, to explain my title this week, lemme tell ya. Christmas in Quito is super weird haha, it doesn´t feel like Christmas at all! People here still listen to the normal spanish rap all the time, never Christmas music, but IF they do listen to Christmas music, it´s Venezuelan children´s songs that don´t sound Christmasy at all! Hardly anyone has Christmas decorations, and there are no lights anywhere! So hence why I say, it´s the most seemingly regular time of the year haha.
Some highlights from this week:
- My favorite thing is being mistaken as a Latina. Happens all the time and I think it´s so funny. This week I was talking with a bunch of gringos, and the senior missionaries come in. The senior missionary Sister can´t speak spanish, and finally after all of us were speaking in Spanish for like 5 mins I think she got sick of it. So she starts speaking in English and then turns to me and speaks really clearly and loudly, DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? I laughed and then explained I´m from Arizona and just look latina hahaha.
- Got really sick this week and passed out at a member´s house at lunch. I was so out of it when I came to that I started to respond to everyone in English as if they could understand me hahaha. Good times good times.
It´s so special to get to be a missionary during Christmas time. Don´t forget the reason for the season! I am so thankful for my Savior and Redeemer. He knows and loves each one of us, and really has felt all of our pains and suffered all of our sorrows. Through Him we can have joy in this life! Never forget that.
Con mucho amor,

- Wendy´s baptism! She is Andreina´s neighbor but they recently moved to the Elder´s sector. Hna Kohls and I taught her, and I got to go to her baptism this Saturday! It was so good to see her again and see her after her testimony has grown even more.
- Santa already came to Ecuador
- Feliz Navidad!
- What happens when you step outside in the Quito rain for literally 2 seconds...
- My favorite thing about Quito: it´s usually cold here, but we still have all the tropical plants. It´s funny, one one side of the road there are palm trees and the other side there are pine trees!
