December week!

It's December!! What?? And because of that I have suddenly become a sentimental person. (I think that's the word). I now am just thinking about all our traditions and the things I love to do and feeling sad but yet excited about Christmas. It's weird to think that I won't be home for it all this year, but I'll be having a great new experience though. They have a huge tree up here in downtown San Cristóbal and it just makes me so excited! I love seeing all of the Christmas decorations and the things here around. It's going to be a great time, just very different.

Thanksgiving was also a lot different this year.. I didn't even see a turkey. It's weird because they don't celebrate it here, so I missed out, but that's going to make next year the coolest Thanksgiving in quite some time for me!

And also another weird things is that I have become scarf girl. I didn't want to wear the scarf I brought for anything, but then I decided well cool. I can do it. And now I just feel like I want to find more scarves and be weird scarf girl.They sure help keep me warm when I go walking around in cold town. It has been pretty cold here this week. I don't know how cold. But we had some hard days this week. I'm sure it's nothing compared to Utah weather, but after Tapachula weather, it's a big change. And I love it!! I just need to do a bit more buying if I stick around here.

It's been a good week all in all. We had four people with a baptismal date set, but then.. no one (of them) came to church. It's the big challenge we seem to have here, but it's a work that we have to do and I'm so excited to be here and do the work! I hope you all have a super great week and enjoy the Christmas time things and the SNOW!!! I'd love pictures from you all in your Christmas festivities!
