MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the
cold back home. Please enjoy it for me cause I miss the snow like crazy!! it doesn’t
even feel like Christmas here... it’s a lot colder than the summer time, but to
me, feels like a cool summer day back home.
Anyways, this week was
suuupppperrrr busy filled with different activities with the ward and helping
them prepare everything for the Christmas activity we had on Friday. The
activity was really good but our ward has a huge problem with starting things
on time. Like it’s really, really bad. It was supposed to start at 7 but they didn’t
even say the opening prayer until 9:20 which
was when we left to go back to the house. And they continued until like midnight I’m
pretty sure. It was a real bummer bc I really wanted to go to a ward Christmas
party, but didn’t get to this year. But next year when I’m back home, I’m definitely
going to our home wards party!
Yesterday we had the Christmas
party with the WHOLE mission. All of the missionaries were there so I got to
see a lot of my friends from the MTC and different missionaries that are no
longer in my zone that I got to know. It was really great and what we did was
each zone sang a musical number and for our zone, I was chosen to direct the
choir. Man, let me tell you. I have no idea how Janna Bullough does it. Man,
does she make it seem easy. HA!, no. Janna has a gift I’m telling you, to be
able to direct a choir. Even though I was absolutely terrible at doing it, I
totally felt like Janna Bullough and I totally felt super cool doing it. Haha
Afterwards, we had our lunch
(which is the big meal here) and it was soooooo goooooddddd!!! The most Americanized
lunch I’ve had since coming here. It was first a Cesar Salad and next we had
turkey with mashed potatoes and veggies and gravy! It was amazing! And then for
desert was like a chocolate cake/brownie with cookies and cream ice cream on
top. Ah, it was to die for! And then afterwards, the ppl that didn’t have
to travel far to go back to their areas, left to go sing and contact ppl in
different parks in the city. We had to go early, which was a bummer, but before
we did so, President Garcia gave a blessing to every single one of us that was
waaayyy powerful. I felt the spirit sooo strongly. He said something that I
would like to share with you that is really special to me. In his blessing, he
promised that if we focused and desired to become more like Christ (we are
focusing on doing this as a mission) and that if we strived every single day to
do so, that my posterity would be blessed as faithful servants of Christ and
will be able to withstand the power of Satan. And that they will be the
generation blessed with the desire to be like Christ and will work to prepare
for the coming of our savior. Boy is that not like the coolest blessing
ever??!!
Anyways, that was my week I had
all summarized. I’m going to close for now cause I’m running out of time and
want to send pics.
Love you allll soo much and I can’t
wait to see all of your beautiful faces on Thursday!!!
