So first off I'm sorry I cried a lot when we talked. I was so nervous. It was crazy to think that I hadn't talked to you guys in 7 months! But I will be talking to you guys again in 5 months and the next Christmas I will be home with you guys. Christmas day was good. We worked a normal day. The people of Paraguay really don't put as much emphasis on Christmas as they do in the states. It was a great blessing. Christmas eve after we talked we ate with the family that let us use their computer to Skype. They are so incredible The second day in this area we found them. They put us in their car and drove us to about 12 different friends houses and introduced us. It was incredible. They have only been members for about 8 years. They have a son that is in Brazil serving a mission. And dad the mom wanted to send you pictures of our Sunday dinner, last night. HAHAHA she added you as a friend.. She is super funny. They are going to be a great help in this work. They are amazing. But anyways Christmas eve we ate ice cream and watched fireworks from our five story level house that the neighbors did. That was something that we heard all night long was fireworks. That is something that I hear in July. It felt more like the 4th than anything. So the Christmas party was awesome and super super hot. But they had it two different days. We had it Thursday and the other half of our mission had it Friday. There is no way that they could have every single missionary fit in the chapel at one time. We played volleyball and football and we climbed the hill it was super entertaining. President played soccer with us and his family came. They are so amazing. His son is hilarious. He has to be like 10 years old. They are wonderful. I haven't received my packages yet. But don't worry I will get them. I'm grateful that you told me you sent some stuff for my companion. Her family couldn't send her anything. She is so sweet. But she is mature too. She is 21 years old and we get along great. My last companion is in my last area with another Latin companion. So time is flying by so freaking fast. I cant believe it. The area that I'm in right now is great. We are getting to know it really well. Just pray that I can do this. It is a little stressful because I know about the same as my companion and she is in training. But all will work out good. The elders in our ward are super angry because we have all the members in our area and we have all the almuerzos. I do feel a little bad because in my last ward we didn't have many members. But its a great area. I hope and wish that you all will have a great new year. This new year I will be here in Paraguay. Love you guys so so so so much! But I'm going to send you guys some pictures.
love you all.
Love, Hermana Ross
