My First Christmas in Mexico

This is out of order but before I leave Mexico City, I need to tell about my first Christmas. We baptized a family on Christmas eve. After the baptism we went to the then highest skyscraper in Mexico city and went to the observation deck on the top of the building. There we sang christmas songs with a several other missionaries. Then we went down and went over to a members house for some late christmas treats. Finally very late, we returned home. I woke up the next morning with a whopper of a cold. I was not good for much but to stay home and sleep. A friendly member family brought me a cold remody concoction made up of orange tea, honey, and spices. The stuff really had a punch to it. I got better and a week after Christmas on New Years eve, we had more baptisms and more late hours. This time my companion got sick. It served him right, Elder Roberts loved to stay up late at night. But a week later we were all better and working hard again.
