Well,
the year's just about over It sure flew by.
This
week was a bit slow as far as the work goes. Many of our investigators
were traveling, or otherwise busy throughout much of the week, but we still
managed to get 10 lessons in, the majority with members present!
The
branch also had a pretty cool Christmas dinner on the 26th. Now, the
branch being a branch and all, we did a lot to help out. One of the
elders was the master of ceremonies, my companion and I were in charge of
making up games or competitions to decide who got to take home the presents
(there were only 4 presents). Thankfully, we did not have to cook.
The Relief Society sisters took care of that. And they did a pretty darn
good job of it too. Gallina rellena (stuffed chicken) and torrejas, a
typical Salvadorean Christmas dessert. It was delicious!
Other
than that, there's not much to report. (Editor's note: he DID have a GREAT skype with us...check out my Facebook posts for video and more pics!)
In
next week's episode: Will Elder West get any sleep on New Year's Eve, or
will the millions of fireworks keep him up all night?
Love,
Elder Colton West
El Salvador, San Salvador East Mission
