Merry Christmas! This week will be a cool week! I'm excited
to celebrate Christmas here in Uruguay. What a blessing! This last week has been crazy! It's been a lot different here in the mission
house. I've been exhausted! We have been running all over the place. I had to
help take all the missionaries that were leaving to the airport. I got a
little taste of what is going to happen to me and Elder Hicks. It was a sad
but cool experience at the same time! Me and Elder Hatch (the other
assistant) traveled to go work with some other zone leaders in
"Durazno" and in "Florida." We also had a very cool
Christmas activity at the temple on Saturday and Sunday night. We had a choir of missionaries sing Christmas songs on the temple grounds. We had about 300 members and other interested people come and listen! It was awesome!

Hola! It was great to hear from you. I can't believe how cold it is for you and that you were in the negatives! That is so crazy! Over here I'm dying from the heat. It has been
so hot and humid. I feel like I've been sweating all day every day for the last
month! I´m going to have the worst tan line ever when I get back. You guys are going to make fun of me like crazy. I know Dad will show no mercy!
Well, yesterday we found out about changes and I got
a very interesting phone call from my amigo fiel Elder Barlow (he´s the
assistant to President Newsome). He told me that Elder Hicks and I will come to
the mission offices and work with the assistants for our last two weeks. Elder Barlow was

Sorry I didn´t give you a warning about not writing you
until today (Thursday). I'm up here in Minas to visit some old
friends. I just got here and don´t have any photos quite yet. I´ll send them
this coming Tuesday (which will be my P-day next week)!
This last week has been CRAZY! We have been flying all over
the place in our zone and in our area. We've had several conferences, ward
activities, as well as taking care of sick missionaries. We also found out that we have
to plan a lunch for 50 missionaries this Friday. We've been pretty stressed. But
we've now got everything under control, so we're good to go!

I loved hearing about all the cool stuff you did this last
week in Arizona. It sounded like a lot of fun! To be honest, I forgot it was
even Thanksgiving until you told me last week. We didn´t have anything
planned - it was just a normal day in the mission. Our mission president is planning a
fun Christmas dinner for all of us on the 18th of this month. It should be really
nice and fun to see all the missionaries together. Also, I should be able to Skype on
Christmas, but I'll need to get back to you about that.
Well, this last week Elder Arnett and I went to a home and helped do some service! We painted their house! It was a lot of fun. I'll send a photo.
