I love Christmas time! I hear Utah got some snow recently but out here it's still 75° and sunny 
They really mean it when they say the weather never changes here. Its so nice!
This week was fun! Elder Patrick is hilarious so I was well entertained this week. He wants to be a rapper after the mission so we will be walking down the street and he will hum a hymn and then all of the sudden break out into rap
Plus he is super good missionary too so this week was fun. He is from Texas and has been out on his mission for 16 months.
Last p day when me and Elder Burns were still together we went to a store that sells just hot sauce. It was pretty cool they let us test the sauces and they were Hot! I wouldn't recommend eating hot sauce on an empty stomach tho. It didn't feel great. The rest of the week has been pretty normal. Elder Patrick and I have been getting up at 5:30 every morning and going running. It's been lots of fun and the days feel a lot longer with that extra hour in the morning. On Saturday we spent a couple hours on trains and busses to go to and from a baptism in Elder Patrick's last area. One of his investigators that he'd been teaching got baptised so that was fun to go see. And then yesterday was great! We went over to the Lewis's house and ate dinner and watched the Christmas Devotional which was so good! I loved it!
Throughout the week I've been challenging lots of people to do the light the world initiative and it's been really cool to think about Jesus Christ's amazing example of service. Throughout his life he served everyone around him and in order for us to become like him we need to serve others too. It's amazing how when we serve others we developed greater charity and love for others and become a better and happier person because of it. When we serve others we are blessed in so many ways. I love our fathers plan for us and know that it truly is a plan of happiness!
Have a great week!
