Alright so I am still having a very hard time believing that
it is Christmas or that Holidays exist because on the mission they DON'T! But
anyways I can still tease all of you becasue it is like 80-90 degrees here and
we sweat our butts off everyday and we like it. I just recently got moved to a
brand new area called Vila Yara, Osasco, which is technically like a city
within a city and it is pretty cool but we live 30 minutes away from our area
in another area in a house that has 1 bedroom, 1study room, a kitchen and a
bathroom-which is very narrow and very long and had mildew all over the walls.
I mean this place is so skinny that I sit on the porcelain throne and have to
put my feet under the toilet and put your knees out really WIDE!! the space
between the wall and the sink is less that a foot and you have to passs that to
get to the shower which is funny as well because you have a big old utility
sink in the middle of your shower area! Oh and we live with two other Elders as
well. If I remember I will have to take some pictures!!! Just for you MOM, I
bought a whole liter of Pine Sol and scrubbed the crap out of that place
because it smelled like musty urine that had been ther long enought to ferment
and then grow legs so that the smell could walk all through the house!
This is my new companion Elder Juan Vazquez who is from
Paraguay! He is a really nice guy but it will be an interesting transfer. He is
a great teacher and he really does have a great testimony that a lot of people
like to hear.
The only other down side of this is that our Chapel is like
50 minutes from our house and I mean it is a long ways away!! Oh and I have the
great big pleasure of finding a new place for us to live again!!! The ward is
really great and is basically a good mix and they are really excited to ahve us
here!
Lastly but not at the least unimportant. I want to wish you
all A Merry Christmas with lots of fun and cheer and that you all can remember
that the people next to you during the Holidays are the ones we need to serve
the most so that we can be at peace within a world that is every minute more
troubled and filled with sorrow and fear. Stay firm to the Teachings of Christ
because they will never lead us astray because they invite Holy Spirit to
Testify and Teach of those things that our human capacity could never come to
coprehend the greatness of all that is around us and our potencials as children
of God whom Christ was a Child of God as well so we have the same imense
capacity and pre-ordination!
Love you all,
Elder Hendrixson
