Hey Family, Tuesday, Dec. 20th, 2016
¡¡¡¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!
Sorry if I sound a little stressed out today....it's cause we have a
wedding of some of our investigators in two hours, and we can't get a hold of
the judge. I really hope that he doesn't bail on us!!! I'm a little stressed out
for that right now because their baptism is today as well, and if they don't get
married, they can't get baptized!!! I'm sure everything will turn out right, I'm
just a little stressed out right now.
Yesterday we had our Christmas dinner/conference with President Haws and
his family. It was a ton of fun. We played broom hockey as two zones. President
only had three rules. Players couldn't lift the broom above the knee, goalies
couldn't lift the broom over the waist, and everyone could hit Elder Cavenee
with their brooms!!! They were messing with me because I'm the one who's going
home soon. As we were playing, a sister hit me with her broom on accident. She
was like ''Elder...I'm so sorry...wait...we're allowed to hit you, right?´´
Hahaha it was pretty funny! After playing, we all changed and ate. They catered
food. I'm not sure what it was, but it was pretty good. After we ate, we read
the Christmas story, and sang Christmas hymns as we went along. It was a lot of
fun. I played the piano! Afterwards we had our white elephant gift exchange. It
was a lot of fun.
Last Saturday Luis and Ana got married, and Luis got baptized. I went to
the government records office like five times last week, and was running all
around Mina trying to get everything ready while my companion was in divisions
in our area. He joked around with me telling me that I needed to learn how to
get people married so that it's easier when I get home! But we got everything
done, and they got married. It was a wonderful service....I cried! As they were
saying their vows (that's what its called...right?) they were both crying from
the joy they felt, and it made me cry as well. It was great.
We painted two houses this week. I love service!!! My companion and I were
joking around about coming back to Mina and starting a painting business (we were just joking...not for reals). I like painting though:)
We are preparing a Christmas sacrament meeting with our ward mission
leader. We got a choir together, and I'm playing the piano. Then my companion
and I are going to give talks. It will probably be my last talk here in
México:(
Everyone here seems to be counting down the days until I go home. Everyone
I talk to always reminds me of how many days I have left, or that I'm going home
soon! I try not to think about it too much, but the truth is that it is very
soon!!! But there is still a lot to do here!!!!
Sorry, I gotta run to the judges house so that our wedding can go through!!
I wish you all the best Christmas and that Saturday and Sunday you can all
remember and feel the LOVE of the Savior.
I Love you all,
Elder Cavenee
