IIIIIIt's Christmaaaaaas December 21, 2015

Hello Everybody!
It's finally starting to cool off over here! No snow for Christmas though, it's gonna be 60 on Christmas day so hopes are pretty low for me. Things are going really well though! I have a new companion, Elder Obley, who is from Samoa and he's already served in this branch before so we're gonna have a good time looking up some of the people that he knows from when he was here last year. Something that's pretty fun is Elder Obley likes to street contact people. Stopping people in their tracks and talking with them about Christ. I used to be terrified of this, but it's interesting how you get used to things. That's not to say I don't get a little nervous doing it though. But doing it in the Cold is especially delicious because people aren't about to hang out outside for anything! We stop them anyways and try to talk to them, but it's been really good to see what people's thoughts are on Christmas. Their favorite parts and what it means to them. There's some pretty good people out there that like to keep Christmas simple! In all the talking with people though I did get the chance to talk with a guy about his various drug abuse, good stuff. 
We also got together as a mission this week to do a little Christmas celebrating and listen to some talks about Christmas. Always good to see some friends from the mission and in the spirit of Christmas too! Something that my wise father told me last week is that this is a really beautiful time of the year because, whether your Christian or not, you're thinking of others. Be it in regards to a gift for someone or in a desire to serve a little more in this season, people aren't worrying about themselves as much for once and it's a beautiful thing. So that's my random thought on Christmas for ya, I guess just keep thinking of others more often and you'll stay happier. Although I'll definitely be missing some family traditions this upcoming week, I'm definitely happy where I'm at and know it's a small sacrifice to make. I can still feel the love and even catch some of the smells from this far away and know that my new family over here is taking care of me real well. Love you all! Have a very Feliz Navidad!
