Howdy all,
So this was a pretty good week. On Wednesday we had the always exciting multi-zone conference, it was pretty good. But what was even better was the exciting Christmas dinner (lunch). We ate Christmas meat, Christmas noodles, and Christmas fruit. And then after that we had the long awaited gift exchange. To be honest I've never really liked the gift exchanges, especially this year, because I forgot to wrap my gift. So the night before I made a giant cone out of cardboard and put the upside down Christmas hat filled with candies in there. Then I had to go in front of everyone and give my gift to Elder Arce, how embarassing. Whatever. So that was pretty exciting.
This last week with Elder Rosell was pretty good too. We went for tacos almost every night. Elder Rosell was a great companion, and I'll miss him a lot. But the good news is that my new and last companion Elder Aquino showed up on Monday. Elder Aquino is from Oaxaca, México. He seems like a great guy, and I'm sure we're going to have a lot of success. But it was weird when the new missionaries showed up the first thing Presidente did was take them to the movie theater, and we watched the movie Coco, (Elder smith and I voted for Starwars 8, but oh well) for our exciting Christmas movie this year. It was pretty good I learned a lot about family history, and our ancestors and what not. Anyway I hope everyone has a great Christmas. I'm looking forward to talking with y'all on Sunday 😀 Hey check it out, I didn't know I could use these things.
Love Elder Webb

Sorry for not writing last week. All of Pabellon wanted to be baptized so we were in the baptismal font for the whole day, nah just kidding. We went to Aguascalientes for a district activity and we got back late, and then there was no time to write. Also just so you know the assistientes informed me that I'm going to train a new missionary for my last 2 transfers, and the new missionaries arrive next Monday so next week if I don't write Monday, I'll write Tuesday.
Anyway, if you're wondering how I've been doing I would describe this last week with these words: Nippy, freezing, super cold, my toes are falling off. I don't know what happened but Mexico or at least Pabellon has been nippyfied, it's probably like 50 degrees but man I don't remember it being so cold last year, and the bad part is that no one has heaters here. So the temperature outside is the same temperature inside. Other than that everything's been great. We haven't done much because 2 weeks ago my companion had to go to the hospital to get his foot checked out, and once again the doctor had no idea what he had. But his knee was also starting to hurt, so he was sent to rest for about a week and a half, but now he feels much better, and is all ready to go. Good old Elder Rosell he's been a great companion and I'll be sad to see him go.
I can't believe it's already Christmas time. I remember last Christmas I was with Elder Hernandez, and I said when it's Christmas next year that's when I'll start to worry about going home, because you'll be going home. Now Elder Hernandez goes home this next Monday and it's crazy. But you'll be happy to know that I don't feel worried. This year I've been reflecting on past Christmas'. I've been remembering family traditions, fun activities that we did, door bell ditching the neighbor's to leave them something for 12 days of Christmas, and other good times. But I've also been thinking, how would Jesus Christ celebrate his birthday? Instead of getting up at 4 in the morning to open the presents or going to a shindig I'm sure Christ would be delivering presents to others, helping the sick and the needy, ministering to the hungry and poor. It's sad to see so many people here in my area who won't receive anything for Christmas, and I wish there was something I could do for them. I hope this Christmas we can remember the true meaning of Christmas, celebrating Christ's birthday the was he would. Matthew 25:40-Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." I hope everyone has a great week
Love Elder Webb
