Hello family and friends! How are things back in the real world? I hope you're getting all of your shopping done and that you have found the most perfect gifts to share!
This will be my first and only Christmas in the mission. From what I hear Christmas is crazy here! Everyone has a barbeque on the 24 and they eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of alcohol all day and all night long. At 12 am on the 25 everyone lights off fire works and they go off for about an hour! I'm pretty excited for the fireworks because we live in a fourth floor apartment and we are going to be able to see everything! It should be fun. It's going to be different than the classic Christmas with gift giving, cinnamon rolls, eggnog, hot chocolate, Mexican food on Christmas eve, and sitting around all day watching the Christmas story and other movies. It will be different for sure but it will be fun.
Karen I hope you all have a good Christmas and that you can really focus and help others focus on the true meaning of Christmas. Question... what was the first Christmas ever given? JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF!!!! I am so grateful for our Savior Jesus Christ and for the gift that He is! I'm grateful for the chance that I have to start over every single day and to become more and more like Him everyday that I live! That is really the goal, right? To become like Him is my greatest desire. I hope that you can all focus on the things that really matter and that you can all share the love that our Father in heaven showers upon us! I love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas!
Con mucho amor, y esperanza a que tengan una feliz navidad,
Elder McKee
