Giosvanis is progressing well!! I love going to their house because they have the cutest 2-year old ever!! He is the one whose wife is a member, and he's still so interested!! We taught him the plan of salvation and it went super well! I spoke pretty well and he was engaged the whole time. It was funny because his wife would keep setting the 2 year old on the ground because she didn't want to be held, then she would just walk across the house and the wife would have to chase her down. It was super funny, but we got through the lesson and they invited us for dinner on Christmas Eve!! So we are super excited for that!
And also Argentina won!!!!!! Which was super good for the members here because they all wanted Argentina to win, everybody was watching it, it was so crazy. I can only imagine what's happening with Caleb, aka Elder Harbertson (my cousin also serving a mission), over in Argentina. Crazy stuff, people have been riding around with Argentina flags everywhere, and everyone was outside after the game which was so fun to see.
It truly feels like a different country over here in Florida, I actually forget sometimes and wish I was back in America sometimes, then I realize, lol. It is just so different here 90% of the people we see here are latino on the streets, with Spanish billboards and signs, people walking the stoplights trying to sell flowers to the people waiting to go, it's just an entirely different feeling and vibe and I love it!!
Spanish is coming along slowly, I'm noticing that I'm actually understanding a lot more and can speak my mind a little faster and clearer. Elder Anderson and I say a bunch of little sayings to each other which has helped a lot. One thing I noticed is that when it comes to lessons, it's kind of a struggle for me to speak and teach the lesson, but then the second I leave the house I can speak almost completely fine to Elder Anderson which is pretty frustrating, but I'm working on it!!
Overall just trying to get used to a couple things in the mission life, getting super excited for Christmas. My Mom just told me she sent off my christmas package so I'm so so so excited to get that!!! Christmas lights have been going up everywhere, but it doesn't feel anywhere close to Christmas because it's still 80 degrees outside, lol.
I hope everything is good with you guys!!
Love you all,
Elder Harbs
