Jacob - December 19, 2016

Hey everyone, this week was good. We were able to do a lot of service which was cool. First off we went to the soup Kitchen on Tuesday which was a lot of fun, later we went to stop hunger now which was a service I would do like 9-11 months ago in Santa Ana 10. All we did there was put together some of their supplies and cleaned up a bit. And then we had another service on Friday and we sang some of the songs that we practiced for a school, that was fun as well. We also got a free lunch out of it so that was a plus.

The work is going ok for my comp and I. We are definitely trying to find those that are ready, it's just a little tough. We have a lot of people that we are seeing, but not a lot of them are acting on their commitments. Or we did have some guy get on YouTube to research Mormonism, he's pretty confused now.. we also have this other lady that we are sort of teaching, she has come to church a few times, but she doesn't understand the gospel or what the restoration was. She just likes the church so she comes which is better than most people I guess.

Also this week we had a Christmas party with the ward. It was a lot of fun and the food was super good. They made barbacoa which is really tender beef so I made a bunch of tacos with some bean and rice in them. Also they did this super funny play thing. They showed he Christmas nativity which was really spiritual and then a little girl walked up and said she wanted to sing a Christmas song. So with the nativity back drop she sang I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. It was the most random thing I've seen for a Christmas activity. But that's Hispanics for ya.

I can't really think of what else to say. I'll talk to you guys Saturday. I'll probably be calling at 8 am here or 9 pm in mountain time. But I hope you have a great week and I'll see ya soon.
