Hermana Quincee Carter Paraguay Asuncion North: Dude, I'm Not German

Merry Christmas or should I say feliz navidad!! I hope everyone had a great Christmas and ate some great food. I can assure you all that I sure did! We spent Christmas Eve cooking tons of cookies and brownies to deliver to people who needed some love this Christmas and then we headed to a family in our ward's house for dinner and we COOKED. We grilled like four types of meat, chipa guazu, sopa paraguaya, potato salad, fruit salad, apple pie, more brownies, and other goodies! It was all so good but dang, I'm still full!

We are teaching a girl named Rocio and she is awesome
We had exchanges with the hermanas from Palma Loma and I got to be comps with Hermana Brown (my comp from CCM) for the day
Worked real hard this week
We have two zone conferences next week so we had to do a lot of planning and preparing
Went to Asuncion and it was fun to be back in my old stomping grounds
Yesterday Hermana Gebs and I hopped off a bus... but Hermana Peralta.. the bus took off with her still on it and we had to chase it down for like three blocks
An Uber driver said my Spanish was good #swag
I saw a Toucan flying around in the wild #crazy
It was 104 for three days in a row, but now it's getting cold, it's only 102 today!!
My family sent me a video for Christmas "all I want for christmas is you" it was cute and I love my family

This Christmas was obviously very different, but it was such an amazing experience. I was able to really focus in on the true purpose of Christmas. I grew in appreciation for my Savior this Christmas. I was able to really think about all that He did for us, all that He does for us, and all that He will do for us. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and I just want to remind you all that He loves you. That you are not alone. Not for one second. Sheppards are being sent your way, wise men are bringing gifts, and angels are spreading the news. Jesus Christ isn't in Bethlehem this Christmas, He is with you.

Te amo,

Hermana Carter
