Merry Christmas

(Josh's letter was super short this week in anticipation for our Christmas call.)
Hey Dad...
    You aren't a cheap imitation of Mom, ha ha. But hey, maybe you're not an expensive one either, ha ha. jk jk.
      
    I just can't imagine what the weather's like there. Here it's HOT...and sometimes it's REALLY HOT! That's crazy that you already cancelled a day of church because of the snow. I'll bet Mom was pumped...ha, ha.
    I CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS!!!

Familia!

     Hey guys! This week was a little better. Fetch I still cant believe that I'm gonna be an uncle, ha.  Plan on me calling you on the 25th. Can't wait to talk to you guys. That's funny about the snow...how it was hardcore and now it's almost gone. Here there's not too much snow..ha, ha. There is a massive Christmas tree stacked with lights...I hope you enjoy the pic.
     O yeah, my comp had like an awakening this last weekend. He asked me how I felt about contacting and he felt super guilty because all we had been doing was talking to the one recent convert. So he hammered down and one night we fasted till I contacted a family. It was fetching stressful but good also. I hope he keeps that attitude. We had a lesson today too. This homie is ready to be thrown into the water.lol One of his first questions was how long before he can be baptized. It was great!

   That's so cool about all the stuff Alexis is doing.  "don't kids just grow up so fast"...ha.

I Don't Miss the Snow :)

    My week was good, but it was probably like the second slowest week so far.  I think it's because my comp wants to chill at a recent convert's house most of the time...kinda frustrating. 

    That's gonna be so awesome here in three months when I actually get my Christmas package..ha ha. 

    I think out of all of the things from home, making music is the thing I miss the very most. I really just want to chill and play piano to my heart's content. 

    I'm so glad not to be feeling the cold. I do not miss starting my car early and scraping off the windshield :))

   The Mission President made an announcement that he is gonna try as hard as possible to keep missionaries in their areas for at least 6 months...which sucks because I am literally in the worst area in the whole fetchin mission. The new set of elders live kinda near us which is good. I get along better now with the latinos than I do with the new gringos in our zone. I'm just used to joking in Spanish I guess...ha ha ha.

    Well ya'll... I'm gonna let you guys go. Here's a "beep beep hey" to sign out.. ha! Can't wait to talk to ya on Christmas day!

Love,

Elder Diamante
