December 9, 2013Hello,
Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak in sacrament
meeting. I spoke about missionary work. It was a bit different. I've
spoken a lot here; my memory is that the missionaries hardly ever spoke
at home, but that doesn't really matter. And then we got to watch the
Christmas devotional. That was nice. It's been a pretty good week. The
weather won't make up its mind about whether to be cold or hot. If it's
not careful, I'll spew it forth from my mouth. But, it really has been
pleasant. It's my companion's last week in the mission, so we'll try to
make it special by working extra hard (and we have a baptism planned for
Saturday). That's really about everything.
Love,
Elder Bryan Hall

Hello,
Merry Christmas. It's been a good week, but a little
stressful. I got my new companion on Tuesday, and I've spent the week
teaching him the area. He's Elder Soler from Honduras. On Friday we had a
Christmas dinner with President Morales in Minatitlan (which is about
an hour away from Coatzacoalcos and two hours from our area). Then, on
Sunday, we had a stake devotional where we sang "Oh Holy Night" to the
members. It was a good experience. Be excellent to each other, and have a
very merry Christmas.
Love,

Hello,
Happy
Monday. We're still in the rainy season, but we've had a few days of
clear weather, so the storm water is receding (and there are fewer
puddles in the streets). Thanksgiving is a non-existent holiday in
Mexico, so there were really no celebrations. I did go out and bought a
little pie thing which tasted almost, but not quite, completely unlike
pie. And the other American who lives with us joined me in singing the
Thanksgiving hymns from the hymnal.
We
did a lot of walking this week, but didn't see many people. But we're
going to continue working. I hope you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Bryan Hall
