Ryan's Christmas Week Letter

Well this was one interesting week. We had perhaps the worst week possible in terms of numbers. But and this is where I really thank heavenly father. I had a pretty good week. I mean sure the numbers are really bad but honestly that's going to be expected, especially around the holiday season where no one is home, and that its cold making door contacts more difficult. But I really actually had a happy week, I would of liked to of worked a little harder, but I follow the lead of my trainer.

 

In fact the fact that I didn't work as hard a I would of liked to in mission work and spanish studies are really the only downsides to the week.

 

This week I had the great pleasure of meeting the Vega's family who consist of Miguel(brother i think), the old mom, and her daughter with her son and daughter. They fed us a excellent meal and I absolutely love them so much. They were so kind, and patient with my occasional one work I would say. They are also just fun to be around. They were the big highlight of the week for me.

 

After that nothing very significant happen, except on Saturday, the sisters left of a meal at the church consisting of mcdonalds chicken wraps and french fries. I think in part to help us on that day and also because I had bought them food for when they had run out of money and were starving.

 

Then we had fast sunday which was good. We had break the fast but before, during the preparation we got a snow blizzard that froze the roads, and covered them. It made driving home a little tricky. And another companionship even swerve out and damage their bumpers. After that the zl's grounded all cars.

 

I have a feeling this month we will have alot of free time on our hands.  I am now planning to keep all of my spanish study books and scriptures with me wherever I go. That way I can be working on something.

 

I also have to say, I have grown to love Lafayette. I love the members, the district, the people, I just really like it. It really does have a lot of potential to grow in terms of spanish and english. Its just like a bubble that has yet to be burst.

 

But I will end this letter by saying thank you all for the support you all show and the love you give. I really couldnt do this without you. Dont worry about me, I return soon.

I love you,

Mom and Dad,

Grandparents (Trapp),

Muffels,

Y Yo amo Ustedes abuelo y abuela Rojas.

I love you all.

Sincerely, Elder Ryan James Trapp
