Hola Familia,
I loved our phone call so, so much. At first I was tempted
to complain that we only had 40 minutes, but afterwards I realized it was
perfect. It meant that every minute was quality-packed. Every time I think
about it I get all fuzzy inside.
And thank you for your display of song-writing and singing
abilities-- clever little Lumsies.
After the call we ate a light dinner (en Yucatan
that means a normal dinner) with la Familia Martinez and then they drove us
home. Hermana Wilson and I were just full of happiness up to the chin. It was a
really lovely Navidad.
Exciting events this week...
Best Nancy Drew moment! On Christmas Eve, Hermana Wilson and
I (well, really just me) left our keys in the house and closed the door and
were pretty sure we were going to have a rather unpleasant Christmas Eve
because the dueños (landlords) were
on vacation in Cancún and all of the cerrejarías (locksmiths) were closed because it was Christmas Eve. We tried
jimmying the lock and busting open one of the windows, but we were rather
fruitless.
And then (after a quick prayer), we employed an intricate,
multi-window, multi-wall, PVC-pipe plan and actually got into our house! I’m
not going to post how to break into our house on the internet, but we were
pretty proud of ourselves.
Last Sunday, the bishop’s daughter (age 14) baked chocolate
cupcakes and they decided to use them for the sacrament.
Livi, I know I promised to write to you but I am out of
time. I will write next week!

| La Familia Tzab-- we ate lunch (the main meal) with them on Christmas. (Caldo con (broth with) add-it-yourself carne, lechuga y tomate (meat, lettuce and tomato). |

| This is the lawn of a neighbor a few blocks from our house. Just the stable wasn't sufficient...didn't cut it. That's the Sea of Galilee, with fish, underneath the table, and then the rest of the citizens of Bethlehem. |

| We are also trying to train the ward how to use ward council, missionary coordination, and the progress reports, and we made a visual: |
I love you.
Love,
