It was so great to be able to see you this past week! Especially the whole clan there. Everyone looked so good and looked happy. Couldn’t ask for more. So, besides Christmas, the week was pretty uneventful. Lots of things falling through but it’s all good. We were able to spend a lot of time with members and get to know them better. The members here are awesome and have come up with some awesome ideas to share the gospel!
So, I’ll tell you how my Christmas went. In the morning we walked over to the Young’s home and had breakfast. They fed us burgers for Christmas breakfast. Heck yeah. Ok, I still have this burger on my mind. Goodness, this thing was a 3 cheese stuffed patty with peppers and onions all stuffed in. Then it had cheese, bacon, and was on some kind of super fancy bread. This thing was like top-notch restaurant quality. RIP burger. I miss youuuu.
After that we headed over to Jimmy’s house. A member in the ward that we are working on teaching the lessons to. They were having their Christmas lunch and insisted that we have some. So I reluctantly made an entire plate and ate it. haha. After that we had to find a ride to our dinner appt to skype. We were finally able to find one and as I was signing in to skype I got a text from dad. That was WEIRD. haha. After skyping I force fed my way through a very delicious, large Christmas dinner and Apple Pie. All things denote there is a God. Including how much food missionaries are somehow able to consume sometimes.
We weren’t able to teach Mark this week. We were able to talk to him on the phone and he said he would be at church but he didn’t show :(. We are going to head over there tomorrow. Church was awesome. We’ve started to spend our time with the priests 3rd hour instead of the elders quorum. I wish I would have done that sooner in my mission. We taught the priests yesterday and talked about missions and did some role plays and such. It reminded me so much of my pre mission life and the awesome elders that I got to spend time with. We closed out the week with a dinner with the Douglas family. Sister Douglas reminds me so much of Stephanie. They fed us deer and holy cow, er I guess deer, it was good!
In conclusion, it is hard to be away from home and family during this year, but it was definitely a wonderful Christmas! I hope you all have a Happy New Year, awesome anniversaries, and wonderful birthdays this week! Love you!
