She can't be 16 already!

December 28th

Anna can’t be 16 already!  (Anna’s Birthday is the 28th)

Pues Christmas was awesome, nothing more than excellent.  Talking to the fam was by far the best thing ever!!

But on Monday I got jumped by the police, well sort of.  We were in the bus coming home from Progreso, when we heard sirens. They stopped the bus and made all the men get out. It was kind of annoying getting a machine-gun put in my face, but I got off. They then made us put our bags in a pile and then put our hands up on the side of the bus while they all came around, patted and checked us down, and asked us questions. It was cool.

After that, they went and checked all the women in the bus.  Apparently they were looking for guns and drugs, and thieves.  “Everything” according to them.

But we also had a great christmas activity in the park here in Santa Rita.  We showed Mormon messages on a projector and a bed sheet.

The news crew even came over and interviewed me and my comp. It was cool also.  The Mormon missionaries of Santa Rita on TV, lets go!   It was also really great because we gave out 36 Books of Mormon there.  Everyone enjoyed it, and were interested in the message.

He was born so that I could be born again, and be happy.

I cant upload pics the regular way because my camera is not working, so next week.

Super solid week though.

Mosiah 4:27

 27 And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.
