It was so great to hear Colton's voice on Christmas Day!! He sounded so good, and finally we got to ask some questions and get some answers. Colton has been writing such great letters and with so much detail, but he didn't answer any of our stupid questions. hahaha...
He explained how his P-day worked. They got up early and went straight to Walmart before the rush. He said that the signs and tags were in Spanish, and it was a really great way for them to learn the language fast. After the mad dash to walmart to beat the rush, they would return to their apartments and have study time individually. Then they would study with their companions. His companion is Elder Maddox from California. Then they would get their laundry done and head over to the gym in the church and play a game called "Smash Face". It is played sort of like dodge ball, but with a softball size ball. It sounds like a ton of fun, especially since they have 2 other sets of companions to play it with. Also sounds dangerously exciting.
We sent Colton and his companion the 12 days of Christmas. Each day they would read a scripture and then try to figure out what the gift was. The gifts were things like candy canes, tooth paste, beef jerkey, etc. He said that he really enjoyed doing it. We enjoyed putting it together during Family Home Evening.
We taked for about 40 minutes, and he ended by sharing his testimony in spanish. Wow!!! He's really fluent. I was surprised, and the spirit was so strong. We love you Colton and are grateful for your service and obedience. Keep it up Champ!!!
