Christmas Eve

Dear Family,

Well not much has happened since Thursday. We did spend a couple of
hours at the place I Skyped you fun. The mom of the family made a
really good dinner! But I couldn't eat a lot of it but it was really
good.

On the 27th we went to a ward party called a "posada." It was some
kind of Mexican/Spanish party. It was fun but a good chuck of things
was in Spanish and I couldn't understand anything when they were
speaking Spanish. The food was really good and really filling. Mexican
people make good food.

Yesterday one of my companions felt that we needed to go knock on a
couple of doors on a specific street and talk about family history. We
knocked on three doors. The first door we knocked on didn't show much
interest for what we were talking about. The second door we went to
the women was really interested and wanted to know more. We talked to
her about coming back and starting family history. So we are going to
go back soon and start doing the family history. The last door we did
I took the lead on. I knocked on the door and this guy answers the
door. I said "we are missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints" and he goes "I'm not interested." Then shut the
door on us. I didn't even get to finish what I was saying.

Well I think that is all for today. Have fun with the rest of your
guys break. I have been working on Trevor's commitment today and I am
doing good on it. It's still a work in progress though. I love you
guys and have a good week!

Love,
Sister Paige Bluemel
