Merry Christmas!



 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. We had an insane week, with Christmas and other things. The amount of treats you receive as a missionary at Christmas time is insane, so that's nice. The 2 week count down has begun, and were currently sitting at 11 days till Argentina. 


Monday- We had a classic p-day of basketball and talking and good stuff. We went to Culvers with Hermanas Mueller and Risenmay, and that was quite fun. Then we went with the ZL's to give some Hermanas a blessing. We talked to them for a while and it was a good night. 

Tuesday- We got to go to the Temple in the morning, so that was awesome. Then we went on transfers with our DL and his greenie Elder Kolberg, who is a stud for sure. Me and Payne went with Kolberg and we popped off, we went to his area and talked to a person they haven't gotten to talk to for a long time, and we taught a heat lesson with a dude from South America (forgot what country). But it was an awesome night and it was super fun to be with Kolberg for a night. 

Wednesday- Una dia muy bien. We taught a super good lesson with the Torres family, I definitely think that they will be getting baptized in the next couple months. Then we went to a little Christmas Party, with a part member family with the Hermanas. It was super fun, and we got to do a good amount of teaching, and had a ton of fun at the party haha.

Thursday- The 2 week countdown begins. We had district council, Elder Trejo's last one ever! It was super good, we had a good time. It was kinda sad but it's good, we took funeral pics for him haha. We had soccer night and I for sure balled but nothing crazy, I did play some heat defense though. 



Friday- Christmas Eve! Very fun day, we played lots of basketball in the morning, and then went home and I made Baller Santa Pancakes (it wouldn't be Christmas Eve without them). Then we had a dinner with our ward mission leader and it was super good. It was an awesome time with very heat food. When we got home we watched about 30 minutes of Elf haha. (Our mission president approved it).





Saturday- CHRISTMAS! I woke up to Elder Gray yelling "Santa Came! Santa Came!" The best possible way to wake up Haha. We opened up presents, and then balled up, and had Christmas Jams rocking in the background so that was definitely vibey. Then we went back and got to help some members move which was a great way to spend Christmas! Then we went to a members house for dinner which was very fun, and then we went caroling for about 2 ¹/2 hours. It was actually really fun, we had an amazing time singing and dinking around haha. The amount of candy and treats we brought home is Mind-Blowing. We had a fantastic Christmas!



Sunday- Good day, we sang in sacrament (yikes!) They told us we sounded good but I know they were lying. We had a great lesson with the Torreses and were happy to see them progressing! Unfortunately when we were out we got a call saying that Elder Payne is leaving me and becoming a district leader! So that's sad, I will be staying in Syracuse for 9 days with my new comp Elder Brady. My favorite part of this transfer is the Elder Backman is moving to my district so that's crazy hype! Lots of changes for the last couple days in Utah but it should be good.

Gracias for reading, I hope all of you had a very Merry Christmas, hope you got some dope presents and remembered the true meaning of Christmas.

Love, Elder Ditto
