President Jensen just gave us the most exciting Christmas present I have ever gotten. We are able to have e-mail for one hour like it used to be 45 minutes for family and 15 for him.
I am doing good. This last week was definitely interesting. Me and Sister Nielsen were companions for four days while our trainers went to a training conference. We spent two days in my area and then two days in her area. We got chased by a dog that I thought was going to attack us. And we got lost in Sister Nielsen's area for about two hours. Such fun times. But at least my rubber shoes are now broken in!!!!!
Christmas devotional from the 1st Presidency yesterday night i really enjoyed. I took notes and loved to hear about the true meaning of Christmas as I am out here serving.
We had to drop the Ramos family because they were just not interested and they could never make our appointments. It feels awful to drop a family or investigator and you know that the gospel can help them and their life so much.
The breads and pastries here are super delicious. Good thing we walk a lot because I would not be able to fit in my clothes.
We tried this thing called Banana-que and it tasted really interesting. It is banana that they sugar and BBQ I think, but it was cold and soggy so it tasted like a "slug".
O' me and Sister Nielsen were walking along the street and this guy comes up to us and tells us that we need to meet his friends. His friend we found out is from San Diego and he is full Filipino, but doesn't speak any Tagalog. And he gave us this HUGE box of chocolates. So last week chocolate was our comfort.
Primary Sacrament meetings are the same every where I think. You always get those kids that sing at the top of their lungs and speak so loud into the microphone. But it was so cute and everyone in the congregation would laugh and giggle throughout the program.
The kids here are so very cute. They play with their shoes in the streets and are always outside. Kids in America could learn from the kids here. I also love how family is a big thing here. And they take care of each other. If someone is old and can't take care of themselves they don't send them to another home but bring them to their home and care for them.
Love you all so much and for this Christmas really really remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Always in my prayers and thoughts, your favorite daughter and missionary, Sister Kelli Anderson, Mahal Kita.
