Christmas Update

ok so here´s a quick update of whats been going on.  
i dont know if i told you about the christmas pday we had on monday?  the entire mission came to here for a special program.  Christmas is the only time that the entire mission comes in so its pretty crazy and a lot of work.  That is also why we had so many late nights.  But its ok, because the program was awesome.  Monday morning the entire mission (except the office elders... )  went to the temple.  That was the first time for everyone in the buenos aires temple so it was really special.  that was president´s christmas gift to the mission.  I still haven´t been able to do a session, but i´m hoping that president will take us one of these days, but probably not anytime soon, but that´s kindof just one of those things, it was necessary for us to stay and help.  Anyways, then the whole mission had lunch and we served them, then we had a big christmas program and it was really cool.  There was an amazing spirit there.  Anyways, then we had to get everyone back to their areas and everything, and we got permission to stay here in the office and watch all the fireworks at midnight.  It was a pretty fun night.  I was hanging out with elder young from sandy, he worked with you in the temple i think.  So it was a great christmas eve, except we had to leave at 11 PM to go try and find missionaries that don´t report to their leaders.but we got back before midnight to see the fireworks. then on christmas day we got to go to president´s house for a nice barbeque lunch outside, and we all played dominoes.  it was like a fun little family gathering.  It was great.  I also got to talk to you guys!!! So great to hear your voices!  
So that was christmas.  Now we are trying to prepare for transfers like crazy.  it was kinda neat yesterday, i went to president´s house again, and he took me up to his office and we got to hang out for a second and talk about all the transfers.  I am the only one in the mission that knows them right now, so i´m super special haha everyone keeps trying to get them out of me.  its funny.  So yeah, thats kindof what is going on right now.  
thats my super quick update, Love, Elder Skousen
