Jay Family Missionaries

Querida família,

 

It was great to talk with you guy on Christmas. It has been a long time since I talked with Ed and Ariel. When I first heard Ed talking I was trying to figure out who it was because I could here a voice, but couldn't see anyone talking on the webcam.

 

We passed a good part of Christmas day with the Petries, a senior couple here. They are the only senior couple in this mission and we have the luck to be in the same city with them. Sister Petrie made roast beef and potatoes and gravy and other good american things to eat. They also let us use their computer to skype with you.

 

These past couple weeks the missionary work has been pretty slow. Everyone has been traveling, drinking and going to parties until 6 in the morning, but now things are going to get better. We only had one investigator in church on Sunday. She is a dentist from São Paulo, but she is working here in Sousa. She went to church with us, but she disliked the Relief Society so much that she almost cried and went home early. This branch has problems, but it will get better.

 

New Year's Eve we went to a member's house where they were also celebrating the birhtday of Patrícia, a member girl. We did a secret-santa thing and I got cologne and Elder Walton got Cologne (missionaries stink). I had to give a present to a the husband of a recent-convert. He isn't baptized and has never gone to church. I gave him a stocking with a watch, a soccer shirt (everyone here cheers for Flamenco), and a Book of Mormon with a little note that I wrote. We also ate a lot.

 

Yesterday was Sister Petrie's birthday and I helped make a cake for her. It turned out pretty good.

 

See ya in 4 and-a-half months!

 

Elder Jay
