Well, this week has been a new adventure here in Chamac. We are getting to know the members and the majority of them are super mature in their knowledge of the gospel. A lot of them are returned-missionaries, which is a good advantage. The hardest part of the area is that the people are very traditional, as in, they stick with the traditions of their past until death. The people here are VERY Catholic or Evangelical. The good thing is that we already have a baptismal date for this week that the Elders from before left, and that's going to break the no-baptism curse in Chamac that has lasted for about a year. We also are teaching a family that has recently become very interested in the church. Wish us blessings!
This week we also moved into our house here in Chamac and did a SUPER DEEP CLEAN. The house was so dirty! It had tons of old food, dust, and fleas. We took a whole afternoon just scrubbing the floor and with bleach, floor cleaner, and a broom. This is the finished product:
The first morning we woke up to a little suprise also. In the house, the toilet doesn't have a floater, so we have to shut off the valve of the toilet after every use. Since the city water shuts off in the late afternoon, my companion decided that he wouldn't need to turn it off. Well, when the water came back in the early morning, it overflowed the tank and started pouring into the bedroom. I was pretty shocked when I woke up in the morning and put my feet down into my sandals covered in super cold water:
On Friday, we also had our Christmas Multizone Conference with President Goodman. It was super spiritual and we got a lot out of it. We presented a skit as a zone, that was modeled after the song: The 12 Days of Christmas. On our way back, our bus broke down on the highway and we had to get out to push it to start it up again:
Me and my skinny arm. (I think it's even skinnier than when I came to the mission #LAMAQUINA)
Anyways, Wishing you all the warmest of holidays and the merriest of Christmases! Enjoy your turkey and ham, and we'll be enjoying our tamales and beans.

P.S. As I was writing this we felt a mini-earthquake. Spooky stuff!
