caroling, caroling!

Ma chere famille,

"Freres, soeurs, amis de l'eglise, bonjour!" "Brothers, sisters, friends of the church, hello!" <--- That's what everyone starts out with at the pulpit ici...here

Anyways, This week was good. A little crazy, but good. I love Dumbea and serving with Soeur Tupai, cause she's the best, But to quote Andrew's wisdom teeth video... "I feel weird..." Probs because the last time I was some place new with all different people was a year ago, when I came to Paita for the first time, cause when I went to Sixieme in March, I was in the same ward that I was during the first month of my mission. So it's been a little crazy. But it's probs good for me. Maybs I was getting a little lax where I was, but if I was, I am definitely on my toes now. And I love these people! And am really trying to jump in with both feet. So I'm excited about it. 

We have some awesome people that we're teaching! One, Mickael, is an 11 year old boy who's grandma is a converti recent, and he is incredible! He understands really well and he is STOKED for his baptism. It's exciting to see! His parents are super supportive, and he is with his grandma every weekend, so he will continue to progress well after his baptism too! 

We did not start exchanges this week, but we'll be starting those up again this week, which I'm actually stoked about. I learn a ton from every soeur and it's great to see how they work and how we can collaborate and be better together! I love it!

And, we and the zone leaders are working on planning for our soiree for Noel. So that's fun. That'll be the Monday before Christmas. And we're gonna go caroling too! Which I'm stoked about. 

Also, Soeur Tupai and I are gonna start caroling to try and find people to teach, which I'm pretty stoked about. She's a singer! The problem is we're both kinda altos, but it's cool, we're gonna switch off singing soprano. 

Other than that, things are good! I'm working on trying to write in my journal every night again, cause it's been awhile since I've really done that. But I know that it's important!

IT's been raining here like a crazy. Like seriously, I've never seen rain like this. And it's kinda fun for awhile, but I'm ready for the hot and humid again. I don't think I like rain anymore... Actually, its the gray sky that I don't like. But it's good, the sun will come back! 

Sister Elise OSORIO!! Happy birthday!! Your cards on the way, it's probs a little late, sorry... But I luh you!

Oops... I' didn;t actually want to send that yet... But yah. I didn't have much more to say. 

I love you all!! And I hope that Thanksgiving was good for all of you!! I'll be there next year... And probs pup too. Odd.

Anyways! Thanks for your love and prayers!! I need them and Know that you are in my prayers also!

L'evangile est vraie!

Love, Soeur Santos

p.s. Soeur Tupai and I made pigs in a blanket this week. Sans fromage... Mais still bon. 

p.s.s. And we run! My goal with all of my comps has been to convert them to running! So far it's worked with almost all :]
