A series of unfortunate events, and the adoption

So this has been a really interesting week. Divisions..... a lot of divisions. The doctor said that my comps knee is just swollen and that he can stay in the mission (WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!:D), but that he has to change areas due to the many hills in Piriápolis (hence the series of unfortunate events. First Elder Taylor, now elder Vega. Im getting an interesting reputation here). But on the bright side....... IM GOING TO BE TRAINING AGAIN!!!!!!!:D Tomorrow we're making the switch. He's (Elder Nealson) is from Canada and has been in the mission for 3 weeks (hence the Adoption). haha I really hope that Elder Torres isnt too upset that he's losing his oro, but ELDER TAYLOR YOU HAVE A BROTHER!!!!!!!:D

Im feeling pretty bittersweet about it all. haha just like last time, but well, the Lord has a plan for everything.

Man the Christmas conference was so spiritual and I loved every minute of it. In the mission, those who are in their last transfer are called Valients (or Courageous). They always give their testimonies in Zone Conferances or (in this case) the Christmas conferance. One of these testimonies was given by a sister missionary (Hermana Thorne) who, for her testimony decided to sing an incredible piece (Born is the light of the world). Man that was the best part. THe spirit was so incredibly strong. After all the music and testimonies we had pulled pork sandwhiches (I love president).

Anyways, can I just say again how incredible Darwin is. We literally saw him everyday from Wednesday through Sunday, and will probably be seeing him again today. He has gone on divisions with me, stayed in the house and talked with my comp, taken under his wing our investigator Gloria (going to her house and just talking and resolving some questions for 2 hours on end). He goes out of his way to call us and ask us if we need a ride somewhere, has bought us dinner almost every day this past week, and has finally put a goal date to finally give up smoking. I am so excited for him. It has been so incredible to see him change into a True servant of the Lord. I have never met a person that has helped out the missionaries so much, and pary that I can be more like him when I return to the states.

Well thats all the time I have today,

I love you guys SO MUCH and hope yall have an Incredible christmas filled with joy and Christ.

Lots of love,

Elder eliason
