Sorry I wasn't able to get a letter off last week. We had our Christmas Conference on tuesday so we traveled to the Zone Leader ́s area on monday and had lunch with some members there. The conference was really good. It was good to see everyone again and get in some goodbyes. President and Sister Loureiro gave talks and we watched the new christmas video that the church published. Then we all went to a busy part of town to sing christmas hymns and hand out Liahonas to the people. It was pretty fun to see the look on everyone's face when we started singing. There was a pretty good sized crowd and there were some people that were videoing! There was even an older lady that did a facebook live thing. haha. President Loureiro and a handful of other missionaries were handing out liahonas and talking to the stopped people. While we walked we also kept handing out the magazines and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. We gave out around 6-8 boxes of liahonas so that was good. We had a little face to face too, with Pres. and Sister Loureiro. Each zone sung a musical number throughout the day too. It was a conference really different then what we were accustomed to, but it was really good. We ended the conference by hearing the testimony of all the missionaries that are going home in this transfer. It was really spiritual. It was a pretty good reality check, that made it even more real that I was finishing my mission. So I had some mixed emotions about that. But really these last two years have been the craziest/funniest/hardest/stressful/rewarding of my life. Surely it was just a trailer for my life after I get back. I am so happy to be here, and to have finished my mission. I am looking forward to seeing everyone next week!!!! Love you guys!
