Hey Everyone!
It was a good week in Chile! On December 21st we organized a Christmas concert. We had a choir of 12 missionaries and had a great turnout of members and guests. It was so sick how it all worked out and came together. The only bad part was that our piano player, a 10 year old kid who can actually play really well, got nervous and ran out after the first song. So we had to do the rest of the concert a capella haha. I feel bad for the kid but it was a good activity overall.
We received some very sad news about Elder Reyes, who was my second companion and finished his mission a few weeks ago. He recently was hit by a car and apparently is likely to die. He’s been in a coma for a few days now. We lived together for a long time and became good friends before he left. Please keep him in your prayers.

Our mission Christmas conference was really fun. We started off with a really good talk from President Catala then had a ton of friendly competitions. It was all super funny and it was cool to see all of the missionaries, especially the ones from my training group in Mexico. There were two really powerful moments in the conference. First, to thank the ladies who made lunch for all of us, we all sang The Spirit of God in harmony and it was crazy. I’ll email the video next week. The second was when we ended the conference by getting on our knees and praying for Elder Reyes.

| Christmas Eve dinner with Pablo |
In Chile, they celebrate Christmas beginning on the 24th at 2:00am! So we made Christmas eve dinner at Pablo’s house. I made empanadas and steak, and he made chicken, rice and french fries. I put Lawry’s seasoning on the steak and it was SO good! One thing I noticed is that presents and stuff alone don’t make the holiday happy. I got tons of stuff in packages but that didn’t matter at all to me. I was just thinking about my family.
Stephania asked us to help with a service project and we also taught tons of lessons. We are keeping busy! We have 5 investigators who have committed to baptismal dates in the next few weeks so we will be busy helping them prepare. Please keep them in your prayers as well.
I love you all,
Elder Vincent
