I am doing great. This week just flew by. Today is my preparation day, and my next p day isn´t until the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. My mission president just switched our p day to Christmas Eve (instead of next Monday), and then the 25th and 26th we can only go to appointments that we have fixed with people. We can´t knock doors those days. We are going to eat dinner with our momita or a member on Christmas. Should be good food.

Scott, you´re lucky you can play soccer on p days, but we hardly have time on p day as it is. We are going to actually take a nap today!

On Christmas, we have plans to eat with our momita. But I think we will work hard to put as many citas as we can on the 25th and the 26th. And then the rest of the time we can study or do things with members that they invite us to.

This week went really well. I am loving being a missionary so much. I feel like I am growing a ton. What a cool time in life this is. We are going to have a baptism the night of the 26th. It will be at 6 or 8. Aaron, the cousin of Arlette, wants to get baptized. He is so great.

I'll tell you more about our investigators next week. Luisa is doing great and she is thinking about getting baptized in January. She doesn´t know exactly. She has such a strong testimony of this church and the Book of Mormon. We had a really spiritual lesson with her this week. She told us about how her life has gotten so much better after she started meeting with us and learning about the church of Jesus Christ. She said that she has been so much happier. Her family is great, too, her boyfriend is starting to meet with us. Luisa also has a little four-year old, Antonia. She said that she wants to raise Antonia in the church, because she knows that is right and that is what she wants for her.

Have a great day! I’ll write you on the 24rth!

Love
Elder Brian Sheahan
Merry Christmas!!!!
