Hi Fam and Friends,
So this week was great. Zona Sullana won
the soccer tournament! Woohoo. Also this was probably my best week of food in
the mission! Keeping the Thanksgiving Tradition alive!
My first spectacular food encounter was
with mangos. I ate three in one
day. Out of body experiences were had,
my life was changed and now I can never eat a mango in the States ever
again. Literally so good.
The second was for Thanksgiving. I refused not to have some kind of feast on
Thanksgiving because I am the son of Dayna J Meier and I believe in holidays,
traditions,and happiness. So on
Thanksgiving we bought some Pollo from our local Polleria, a candy bar, some
chewy fruit things, and I made Elder Vazquez tell me what he was thankful for
before we had a prayer of gratitude and stuffed ourselves full of rotisierre
chicken and fries. It was a night full of sodium and thanks and I felt like I
was at home. We also made our ornaments
for Hermana Rassumsen's Christmas tree.
We used some our my face wash cotten things and made snowmen with our
faces on them! They turned our really
well and if you guys are interested you can check out my Pinterest Board
'Crafting Christmas while Called to Serve'.
The last item of food that rocked my
world was at the birthday party of one of our members. Angel turned five on
Sunday and the fam invited us over to eat some dinner and take some pics. For dinner we had duck and it was completely
succulent. That is literally the only word to describe it. It was so good and I
have never eaten something so satisfying in all my life.
This week was a fantastic week. I was filled with the spirit of gratitude and
now the spirit our Christmas. We found
one Christmas song on one of Elder V's usb's. It is 'We Need a Little
Christmas' sung by what sounds like the voice of Mrs.Potts backed up by an
entire symphony and choir. Needless to
say I listen to it 100x a day and it fills me with Christmas cheer every
time. I love Christmas. I love
Christ. Check out the new video the
church has on the church website! Love you all!
