Sorry I didn't email home last week because of the skype [video chat with family on Christmas day]. However there isn't much to share; the work has been a bit hard because of the holidays, everyone is traveling and visiting family. However we have still been having fun. The Relief Society gave us a present of a bunch of cookies so that was tasty and a bunch of balhina de chuva (which is basically doughnut holes).
However I do actually have some pictures to send now so I hope all of you can finally enjoy pictures after a long long time.
Remember to always smile and be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!! And get pumped for the new year and set good goals! The new Come Follow Me manual looks pretty sweet and we got one for our missionary house and we are planning on doing it as a missionary family :-) I'm excited to study better about the New Testament and get more knowledge on the mission of the apostles because I always understand and know the mission and life of Christ, but what happens with all of the apostles and their missions after I always seem to forget the context of those letters and parts.
I will try to share the photos on google drive.
Love,
Elder Holcomb
[Isaac shared a lot of pictures so I'm just going to add a few here in case he doesn't send more next time so I can share some then. Second to last photo Elder Holcomb and another Elder went on a run wearing each other's high school team jerseys; and the last photo is the view of Santarem after their run up the hill.]
