Was it Thanksgiving Last Week?

First thing first, an awesome scripture I read this week! Alma 39:11, more specifically the last phrase (I don´t remember exactly what it says, sorry). Alma here is reprimanding his son Coriántun (I don´t remember what it is in English haha) and in this particular verse is talking about the bad example he set. The people don´t want to listen to Alma because of the bad example Coriántun set. So...does your example help people come closer to the gospel, or drive them away? Do we have the Spirit of God shining brightly within us enough to make people want to learn why we are so happy? I sent a letter out today for Christmas that has a bit to do with all this :)

Anyway, if my comp lets me use his computer for a bit, there´ll be new videos and pictures (about 20, if I counted right) so let´s hope and pray :)  (Nope, we only got 2 - he said he ran out of time and will try to post more next week)

Sorry I didn´t write much about E´ Holland last week. We just didn´t have enough time. But you should all realize that it´s me. I´ve never been good about giving details :P Ummm.....I dunno. He spoke a lot about staying active after we get home...umm...I didn´t take many notes (besides the fact that I don´t have them right here) because I was so entrapped in what he was saying. If I remember I´ll bring my journal next week and write a few more specifics.

We haven´t had mail for the past 3 weeks, but we should get it on Wednesday, so next week I´ll probably have a big list of thank-yous :)

Oh....this past Thursday was Thanksgiving? (he's so confused) Mish, no me di cuenta. I don´t really feel like I´m missing holidays or football season because down here it´s about 90-95 degrees. Granted, there is a nice breeze and it´s not like the ones in AZ where it´s like opening an oven :P

 

Companions:

Elder S.  - 23, Colombia, he was baptized a year and a half ago, but he´s super cool. (He´s the darker one in the photos if I got them put up)

Elder J. - 20, Colombia, he was baptized at 13 and right now is the DL

Pres. Barreiros told him the other day to prepare me well because on the 19th, when he has changes (there´s a few missionaries who extended their missions, but Pres is sending them home a bit early so they can have Christmas at home and J. is going to replace one of them), Pres is going to make me DL! I´m scared out of my gringo skin to be DL, but if it´s what the Lord wants, who am I to rebel?

Hopefully I got the videos and pics up for you :) If I have time, I´ll make a short video for each of you for Christmas, but no matter when I put them online, NO ONE is allowed to see them until CHRISTMAS DAY :)

Lots of love,

- Elder Daylon Crider
