| Painting someone's house pink |
Well, unsurprisingly, we had another amazing week. We've been so busy recently, and it's the best. I don't think we had a single free moment. For P-day today we went out and checked out Old San Juan again. We've been out there before, but we normally just go play sports on the huge field by the beach. Today, however, we went and checked out all of the shops. It was super fun, and I'm pretty sure we saw more tourists than actual Puerto Ricans walking around.

| With Hermana DeLeon |
This week we did a BUNCH of service. On December first, they wanted us to join in some community service projects. So we took that to mean we needed to try to set up as many services projects as possible that Saturday. Not surprisingly, we ended up way over booking ourselves. We showed up at the first one, and they wanted us to paint the entire outside of their house. With like two hours before our next project, I don't think I've ever painted faster in my life. Despite the fact that I ended that day with pink paint spattered all over my clothes we had a bunch of fun, and we were able to help out a bunch of people.

| Eating some Paella with some Mexican members |
Getting ready for the Christmas season out here is so cool. They've put up lights all over the streets already, and everyone is super excited. There's one thing that they do go way hard on out here for Christmas. The food. And it's not just on Christmas. For all of December, they make rice and gandules and this macaroni stuff, with some other sort of meat. We've been given so much food though, we've been eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We're going to be very well fed these next couple weeks.

We've also been working a lot with Edward recently. He's been coming to church, and reading the Book of Mormon, and praying. The other day in our lesson, he finally told us the church was true like three times. He is the most down to earth guy, and is so kind and friendly. He's more Christlike than probably like 99 percent of the people I know. It's been so cool to be able to help teach and work with him these past couple weeks. Especially to see all the miracles in his life, and seeing how the gospel truly has blessed his family.
