Short but Sweet (Week 70) — Called to Serve in Cuiaba

Great Scott this week was nothing but Christmas cheer and happiness and a lot of walking. I accidentally slipped as I was lowering myself down the other side of a very tall fence and there were some nice spikes so I got a huge hole in the bottom of my foot. I've heard that liver failure isn't super bad so we've been on the Advil this week.

I got a nice call from Presidente Granja yesterday and he told me I'm getting transferred today which is like 1 day before freaking Christmas and I was thinkin aight, then I got a call from the office dudes and they were like yea so you're gonna travel on the 26th so I just don't know when I'm leaving but I'm gonna go to Cuiaba to be a Zone Leader and I get to be companions with one of my buddies from the MTC Elder Decker it should be rad! Also there's this other stray cat that's been chillin with us and Elder Nye gave it a bath. It looks like Tom from Tom and Jerry.

The Ward hooked us up with some major treats and Christmas goodies this week and it made us all so happy. I am really grateful for this Ward and everything I learned here. I really learned how to just serve people without wanting anything back it's been rad. It's been a hassle runnin around doing stuff for people all day, but it"s the freaking bomb. I've been just a different kind of happy this Christmas season, a happiness that presents don't really bring, and I know its because our Savior Jesus Christ lives and loves us.

I wanna wish you dudes a Merry Christmas and tell you that I love every single one of you. I don't give a freak who you are, you're my broskie. Go give someone a big ol hug this Christmas season it will make you nice and warm.
