Speaking about Christmas.... it feels weird everyone here is
skipping Sinterklaas! I guess it makes sense. It is such a long
way for him to travel to Hawaii, but still... I do appreciate the Sinterklaas letters from friends and family. Mahalo!
This transfer I've got a new companion: sister Maghanoy from the
Philippines. Just like me, she had to wait for her visa. It took us a
long time to pronounce each others name correctly. I am afraid it will
be a lifelong quest... But we're doing good. We have been playing a game
of charades with a Mexican lady due to our limited Spanish vocabulary.
We have also been conversing with ghosts (Us: *Knock, Knock* "Alohaaa";
inside the house: "No one is home!". If no one else is home, what else
can it be but a ghost?). Also, often we walk around in the dark during
evening hours and we tend to forget our flashlight. We truly apply 2
Corinthians 5:7 in our lives!
Talking about faith (if you've read the scripture verse ;) ) Some
nice reading assignments we read are: Alma 32, Ether 12 (Book of Mormon)
and Hebrews 11 (New Testament).
And I never thought I'd say this, but sometimes it can be a little chilly over here... I did not expect that... But I love it :)
