Family and friends,
This week was a super
good week! I'm trying to think what happened but it's hard because this past
week flew by. Let's see. We met a really nice family from Cuba this week.
They've only been in the United States for about a month. They're looking for
jobs and currently don't have a car, so they have to walk everywhere. They
think Virginia is the coldest place in the world haha. But they're super nice
and humble, and since they currently don't have steady jobs they are home quite
a bit during the day. So we've been able to see them quite a bit. Cuban Spanish
is quite a bit different than normal Spanish though, so we have to stay on our
toes!
We also got invited
to go to a birthday party with one of our investigators. It was his sons
birthday. We had a really good chocolate mole there, along with some ensalada
de fruta and also a pineapple/coconut cake. I find it funny that for birthday
parties, Hispanics always have the person bite the cake then someone else
shoves their face into the cake. It ruins probably a quarter of the cake, but
it's pretty fun!
Let's see...with
Christmas coming up we sure are excited! It's been great talking to people
around this time of year, because they are a lot more open to talk about Jesus
Christ. This time of year is so great with all of the time we have to focus on
Him, and celebrate His birth.
I'm also grateful to
be where I am for Christmas. The people here are so great. The only problem is
that they all want us over for Christmas! So we're going to have to work some
things out. But, Merry Christmas to y'all! I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ.
And for this time we have to focus on him.
Love,
Elder Adams
