Monte Sossego week 5

This week we had two Christmas parties. One for the missionaries in our zone, and another for the ward. The one for missionaries was a blast but this year they wanted to focus on the more spiritual part of Christmas which was great. Christ has taken on even more of a role for me if that is possible. We played a Christmas Jeapordy game and my group won. We also did a present exchange and I gave Elder Flake who is in my zone some ranch dressing that I found in an American store. I got a turtle magnet from Elder Adriano. This week was rough for finding new people to teach and I think that it is because the Christmas season. No one is home or wants to talk to us, except members. The ward Christmas party was great and on Sunday we watched the devotional from Utah. We were able to bring a family to the Ward party. Their names are Jacline, Maiara, Cleidir, and Vitória. Also this week we visited the Stake President and his family and they gave us real chili. It was so good. I included some pictures of them. They have a crazy son. Things are going good here in Mindelo and I look forward to talking to my family tomorrow. Have a Merry Christmas.
