Jay Family Missionaries

Querida familia

Feliz Natal! It was good to talk to some of you on Christmas Day. I don´t know if you guys knew, but we our family is pretty swell. I like it. But poor Tim had to get engaged, I found a scripture after the phone call that I applied to the situation, Alma 62:37 I think. Its about when Teancum died, but in place of Teancum put Tim, in place of Moroni and Lehi put Elder Jay, In place of dead put engaged, and in place of country put bachlerhood or something.

It felt like we didn´t have Christmas here. It wasn´t different than any other time of the year. They didn´t even have the commercialist side, and Santa Claus doesn't give presents to poor people. On Christmas eve we stopped by a bunch of members houses for 5 or 10 minutes and some of them gave us chocolates and then we ate dinner and went home, and Christmas day was just a regular day except we couldn´t buy food because all the stores were closed.

I haven´t gotten the package yet, but my companion and I recieved a present from God. 2 weeks ago we found a paper in the dish armário that had the name Lucilene and an address. We went to the house and found a girl named Lucilene who had never talked with missionaries before, and she was baptized yesterday. Her mom loves us and always gives us food and snacks, but she needs to get married before she can get baptized. It was a pretty good present though.

I already talked to you guys two days ago so I don´t have too much to write, I was hoping that it would snow here on Christmas, but it didn't, so there is nothing more interesting to write.

Love,
Elder T Jay
