It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Dear Everyone,
So we changed our preparation day to Tuesday so it wouldn´t conflict with a few things. Next week is transfers so I´ll be writing on Tuesday again. Today my companion and I went to a really cool place. It´s called the painted forest of OMA. It´s a forest that a while ago someone used as a way of displaying their art. A Basque painter who had lived out there his whole life took to painting on multiple trees in a way that it forms an image when you look from a specific point. Don´t worry, I´ll include photos. Also up there, there was a waterfall that was super cool, and there is a Neanderthal cave with cave paintings and other archealogical finds. We couldn´t go up to that one though because you need to book a guide in order to enter. But we´ll go one of these weeks. It took all day though, so I´m writing super late and super tired. This week we had a missionary from the ward leave on his mission to Peru Lima North; he´s serving in his home country. Since he has no family here except his sister, he asked if he could stay with us between when he got set apart and when he left on his plane. So, it was a fun experience taking him everywhere. He´s super great. We´ve been working a lot with Julia, a girl from Venezuela who is progressing a ton. She asked us this week if she had to give up dancing if she gets baptized. It was funny, but it shows she´s thinking about it. The problem is we don´t get a lot of opportunities to teach her. Outside of that, we´ve been going through our ward list trying to update everything. All in all, it´s been a busy week.

Love, Élder Coleman
 Feliz Navidad!
